Biography:: Released in January 2002, The Emptying is a captivating collection of modern rock tracks, combining commercial appeal with the lyrical and emotional depth Splinter's fans have come to anticipate.

Splinter hit the scene in 1997 with a musical style so broad that descriptions have ranged from acoustic dreaminess with entrancing lyrics to industrialized throttle and industrial with a heart. Subsequent years found the band touring the east coast, drawing fans from New York to Florida and captivating audiences with an intense live show.

After self-producing their first two releases, the band entered the studio in 2001 with producer/engineer Alan Yates (Collective Soul) to begin work on what would become their most elaborate effort to date. Recording at Atlanta's Songbird Studios and removed from the distractions of their Philadelphia home, the band turned out the ten songs that would become their 1st full length CD, The Emptying.

Released in January 2002, The Emptying is an appealing collection of modern rock tracks, combining commercial appeal with the lyrical and emotional depth Splinters fans have come to anticipate. The Emptying showcases Smiths aggressive fusion of lush electronica, haunting melodies and pensive lyrics. The 10-track collection is being hailed by fans and critics alike as their most impressive work to date.

The hopeful single, Carry Me, raced up the charts on MP3.com, and the album is available at area record stores (Sam Goody, Tower) and online at Cdbaby.com, Bestbuy, ITunes, Napster, MSN and Musicmatch just to name a few. The bands website ( www.splintertheband.com) has drawn fans from around the country, and even internationally, with mentions in online fanzines from Japan and the U.K.

The band released their newest CD titled "its not about you" which came out in October 2005. On this 17-track collection, Smith continues to prove himself an astonishing songwriter, filling tracks with his haunting melodies of life and love forlorn while still keeping the beats fresh and modern.

The band currently consists of NJ bred Christopher Hartman on lead guitar, George Smith on vocals and guitar, and Matt Cannon on the bass. The three have been playing together very steadily all throughout the PA/NJ area keeping them quite busy while having alot of fun.

Splinter plans to spend 2006 embarked on a rigorous touring and self-promotion campaign, hoping to expand their fan base and garner industry attention with the release of their newest CD "Its not about you."
