Die Spitz – Pop Punk Anthem (Sorry For the Delay)
Austin, TX four-piece Die Spitz share a video “Pop Punk Anthem (Sorry For The Delay),” the ferocious new single from Something to Consume, the band’s debut album out Sept 12 via Third Man Records.
“Pop Punk Anthem (Sorry For The Delay)” somehow encapsulates elements throughout the band’s large musical swath of inspirations, which ranges from Black Sabbath, PJ Harvey and the Pixies to Mudhoney and Nirvana, building from roiling verses to a growled chorus. “‘Pop Punk Anthem’ is a story from the perspective of someone being drove to obsessive insanity through limerence towards a person that does not reciprocate the feelings. But mostly it’s just a fun song to pay homage to the great early 2000’s pop punk legends,” Ava Schrobilgen explains.
Something to Consume moves with rapturous conviction thanks in part to the deft production hand of Studio 4’s Will Yip (Turnstile, Mannequin Pussy). Though only recently in their 20s, Die Spitz’s impressive musicianship ties them clearly to a long lineage of frustrated people hoping to inspire change. “Some people aren’t interested in being political activists via music, but it weighs on me heavily and I feel misaligned with my calling if I don’t,” Chloe De St. Aubin says. “The four of us are free spirits with multiple interests, and there’s no limit or power dynamic that can derail us.”
Die Spitz is taking their riotous live show on the road this fall on a tour that includes support dates with Viagra Boys and a headline run in support of Something to Consume, with more dates to be announced on 8/12
