About
"Like a vaudevillian, morphine-induced dream, The Schisms are a dark rainbow of sleek, urban guitars on top of bouncing drums and fuzzed-out bass lines. Add triggered synths, Nick Cave-like vocals, and wild dissonance, and you have the pallet of infectious rhythms from which The Schisms draw their sound. Forged by the union of frontman Carson Barker, Lila Paillon on bass, and drummer Gregg Lavey, The Schisms formed in 2013 and have since self-produced two EPs and recently finished first full-length album "Moon" with Grammy-winning producer, Stuart Sikes (White Stripes, Cat Power, Loretta Lynn) at the helm. "Moon" has received raving reviews in The Austin Chronicle, The San Antonio Current, and had the debut single premiered on Magnet Magazine. <br> Known for their raucous live performances and self-produced videos, The Schisms have shared the stage with legendary acts like Richie Ramone of the Ramones, Barb Wire Dolls, The Goddamn Gallows, Peelander Z, Cheetah Chrome of The Dead Boys, Flametrick Subs, and more. Follow The Schisms on their social channels, and see them live during their 2018 US tour.
