A long time ago, the day after Brian Brotherton purchased his first guitar, he and Ryan Healey formed the band Torch with their friends Scott and Joe. After several practices and one show for their friends, they disbanded and went their separate ways. Brian moved to another band named Explicit Behavior, While Ryan, Scott, and Joe formed a band called Hyve, where "Lonely Moon" was first written as a two-note song. About four months later Ryan and Brian sat down in the basement of his house and started to work on several songs which would later become known as Hateful Goodbyes, Way, and MoonShitz. The two then collaborated with a bassist named Nick, and a drummer named Ross. The band called themselves "Splice." Empathy, Danger, Door, and Let it Bleed were all written in a year, and a series of shows at the Monroe Teen Center followed. Once they realized that they had an edge, they went to Shock Recording Studios, and recorded their first album "Trip Freak Way."

After "Trip Freak Way" was released, Wanting It All and I Drive were written, and more shows at local venues followed.

It was quickly realized that September was upon them and that meant that Ryan would be going off to school for the fall. It was then that Splice started to change. A new bass player and drummer were added, and then quickly removed. It wasn't until mid-year 1997 that Chriss Cortigiano, Liam Carberry, and Drew Sullivan were added to the Splice line up. Once this roster was complete, Looser was written and they went into the studio again, ready to record their first full length album.

It was here, with the Horizon Music Group, that Russell "Scah" (Pronounced 'Sha') Foley was added to the band to give a thicker, fuller sound to the band. After recording their self titled debut album, Bug went off to school at Roger Williams University where he met Tyler Nevins, who would replace Liam on the bass, and Splice as we know it was complete. This brings us to 1998.

The very first day of the new year, we were back in the studio again to redo 2 tracks off the album. According to Scah, the band has become a fusion of rock, psychedelia, trance, and metal.
