Splitting Adam was a Canadian contemporary rock[1] band from Vancouver consisting of five band members: Seren (lead vocals), Thompson (guitar / keyboards / vocals), Antonio (guitar), Rob (bass) and Jordan (drums).
In 2000, Splitting Adam licensed two songs to NBC[2] for use in the television series Just Deal.
After solidifying their line-up in 2005, the band licensed their single ("On My Own" on YouTube) to Electronic Arts' Need for Speed: Undercover (NFSU).[3] In 2008, before the official release of the game, the band performed with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra as part of Video Games Live (VGL), featuring never-before-seen footage from NFSU. In 2009, they toured with VGL,[4] making appearances alongside various major symphonies including the Calgary Philharmonic, Winnipeg Symphony,[5] Los Angeles Philharmonic, and San Diego Symphony Orchestras.
The song Vertical Drop[6] can be found in the file list of Need For Speed- ProStreet,[citation needed] but was not featured in the final game.
See Canadian Videogame Awards "performance" on YouTube, Vancouver BC (May 5, 2010).
Following their VGL tour, the band formed a brief partnership with Rethink Communications in creating their new album cover. Under the direction of former Art Director Jeff Harrison,[7] the album was nominated for a Grammy award in the category "Best Recording Package" on YouTube. Splitting Adam remains one of the few independent bands to have earned a Grammy nomination.
The band made their last appearance as an ensemble in April 2010, outside Rogers Arena.
The name Splitting Adam arises from the topic of human creation - the theory of evolution ("splitting" the atom) combined with a literal biblical interpretation ("Adam" and Eve).
