Summary

Jason plays bass for Bob Mould's band, is a touring member of Superchunk, and has been making the promo rounds as he tours as guitarist with actor Michael Shannon to play R.E.M.'s debut Murmur live for its 40th anniversary. He's a singer-songwriter who played as Verbow in the 90s, and more recently as Split Single.

We discuss two Split Single tunes: "Bitten by the Sound" from Amplificado (2021), "Monolith" from Fragmented World (2014), plus Verbow's "Fan Club" from Chronicles (1997). End song: "Blood Break Ground" from Callado (2022). Intro: "He’s a Panther" by Verböten (his first band, when he was but a tween, live in 1983). Learn more at splitsinglemusic.com.
