Die Spitz – Something To Consume
Die Spitz, the Austin, TX four-piece, release their explosive debut album, Something to Consume, today via Third Man Records.
On Something to Consume, Die Spitz combine their passion, friendship, identity, and artistry to fight against the inescapable decay that surrounds modern life. “There’s a political side to it, but addiction and love can also be all-consuming,” Eleanor Livingston says. And as the band trade off instruments, swapping songwriting and vocal duties, and generating powerful songwriting in concussive bursts, Die Spitz have created their own little pocket of the world where we can all stand on the edge together, as showcased by the album’s singles “Throw Yourself to the Sword,” “Pop Punk Anthem (Sorry for the Delay),” “Punishers,” and “RIDING WITH MY GIRLS,” released today alongside a video by Bita Ghassemi.
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 currently on tour supporting Viagra Boys, with a headline run kicking off next month. Their infamous riotous live show, which regularly feature dueling cartwheels, climbing of rafters and solos while crowdsurfing, is not to be missed.
Die Spitz is Ava Schrobilgen, Chloe De St. Aubin, Eleanor Livingston, and Kate Halter.
