[:en]“Eagulls [are] never anything less than vital; these are anthems for a doomed youth determined to kick against the pricks.” – NME
“Post-punk might not be new…but Eagulls have defiantly made it their own.” – Q Mag
Breakneck post-punk, with heady fuzz and gushing basslines.
Eagulls are brash and brazen, lined with shimmering opulence and ominous gloom. They’re straight-up straight-edge guitar rock, with unsettling lyrics and frayed melodies.
Eagulls are the perfect Split Works 10th Anniversary band. As much as we love their sound, it’s also their philosophy that drew us. This is a hardworking independent bunch with staunch DIY ethics, one that once wrote an infamous open letter (at the height of their music industry buzz cycle, no less) that contained the phrase “Fuck rite off” every second sentence. Our kinda lads.
Theirs is a “fierce and angry” sound, with bits of dream-pop, grunge, hardcore, post-punk and shades of goth. The Cure, The Cocteau Twins, Joy Division, The Smiths – throw them into a blender and add some 21st century alienation.
5 cities, including our 10th anniversary bash in Shanghai.

About Split Works:
Split Works has been rocking in the free (ish) world since 2006. Working with inspirational artists from across the globe, the good people at Split Works HQ have been a key contributor to the continued rise of China’s music scene.
Split Works has launched five music festivals and promoted over 400 tours to 30 Chinese cities, always striving to stay true to a familiar refrain: the music has to be special, every single time. From Godspeed You! Black Emperor to Sonic Youth, from Thee Oh Sees to Mac Demarco and Shabazz Palaces, from Black Rabbit to JUE and Wooozy to Concrete & Grass. We love music, we love China and we love you.[:zh]“为所有命运受诅、却依然奋起反抗的年轻灵魂，Eagulls写下赞歌。”—— NME
“Eagulls在早已不新鲜的后朋领域，杀出了一条人迹罕至的路。”—— Q Mag
脱缰的码速、弥漫的嗡声、热情洋溢的贝斯线，Eagulls的音乐如入无人之境，大胆张狂，同时闪烁着奢华的微光，以及厄运和不详的忧郁气质。他们直截了当、无遮无拦，像是苦修中的吉他乐队，让你甘愿在不安的歌词和紧张迫切的旋律中溺亡。
Eagulls的哲学与Split Works始终坚持的理念紧密契合。作为坚守原创精神的勤奋的独立乐队，他们曾写过一封在业界掀起过轩然大波的公开信，每隔一句就出现的“fuck rite off”字眼，非常契合Split Works的精神。
他们音乐中激进狂怒的成分，能听出Dream Pop, Grunge, Hardcore, Post Punk的鲜明影响，又时而笼罩着一层歌特的色彩。想象一下把The Cure, The Cocteau Twins, Joy Division, The Smiths的标志声响绞碎、融合，配上21世纪特有的疏离感，产出物就是Eagulls。
