"Die Spitz Announces Debut Album and Tour"
Austin’s rising star, Die Spitz, is thrilled to announce their debut album, Something to Consume, set for release on September 12th through Third Man Records. This bold effort showcases the band’s unique blend of punk, hardcore, metal, and alternative rock, addressing complex themes of addiction, societal decay, and the struggle for personal expression in a chaotic world.
As they prepare to embark on their first tour of Europe this week, Die Spitz invites music lovers to experience their exhilarating live performances, known for their high energy and unpredictable nature. The band’s dynamic stage presence includes everything from audacious cartwheels to crowd-surfing solos, embodying the spirit of youthful rebellion and creativity. Their recent single, ”Throw Yourself to the Sword,” embodies this ethos, presented with an explosive music video directed by Emily Sanchez.
In the words of frontwoman Ellie Livingston, “Throw Yourself to the Sword is a high-energy ode to what we want young people to feel.” It’s not just an anthem of vivacity; it touches on existential themes and the ability to rise above mundane despair. The track accentuates optimism while capturing the band’s raw energy and emotional depth.
The album was produced by the acclaimed Will Yip (known for his work with Turnstile and Mannequin Pussy), which enhances the sharpness and clarity of their sound. Despite being in their early twenties, the band members—Ava Schrobilgen, Chloe De St. Aubin, Ellie Livingston, and Kate Halter—bring an impressive technical prowess to the table, along with a deep understanding of the power of music as a form of social commentary.
From their childhood days of friendship to forming a band during a late-night viewing of The Dirt, the camaraderie among Die Spitz is contagious and evident in their music. Songs like ”Pop Punk Anthem” and ”RIDING WITH MY GIRLS” explore themes of obsession and social commentary, forging a connection that resonates with diverse audiences.
Something to Consume consists of 11 tracks that effortlessly weave through various musical landscapes while maintaining a cohesive and singular vision. The album exemplifies the band’s commitment to crafting music that embraces both personal and collective experiences. With each song, Die Spitz reflects the complexities of modern culture and the myriad ways we encounter and respond to themes of consumption.
As anticipation builds for the album’s release, die-hard fans can catch Die Spitz live in cities like Berlin, Cologne, and Seattle throughout their tour. This is an essential moment for fans to witness the synergy of a band whose roots run deep within Austin’s vibrant music scene.
