Under the direction of former Art Director Jeff Harrison,[6] the album was nominated for a Grammy award in the category . 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).
