SPLIT SYSTEM – No Cops In Heaven / Pull The Trigger

Recorded live to tape at Soundpark Studios on a Saturday in August 2024, the new 7” features two hefty slices of punk. The idea for ‘No Cops In Heaven’ was sparked during a drive through Burnley in Melbourne, listening to Angel in a Raincoat by The Sleepers while passing highway police. The track expresses a distrust of police, politicians, and media figures, stemming from ongoing inaction and victim-blaming around femicide, along with concerns regarding the growing power and militarization of police forces across Australia. ‘Pull The Trigger’ takes aim at war mongers, oil barons, and politicians who benefit from ongoing conflicts. The song’s narrator finds themself at the end of their tether, ready to take matters into their own hands.
