Forming in the Hackney sector of London in winter of 2012, Splashh quickly developed a neo-shoegaze sound through a prolific string of singles that made waves on the internet shortly after their release. The band, made up of singer Toto Vivian, guitarist Sasha Carlson, drummer Jacob Moore, and bassist Thomas Beal followed in the footsteps of shoegaze figureheads like My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Chapterhouse and Loop, but added a considerable amount of unhinged feedback to the mix more in line with Jesus and Mary Chain or Dinosaur Jr. guitar heroics. A single for their song Need It was released in July of 2012 as the band played out locally as well as on the summer festival circuit.
