Die Spitz

Die Spitz share folk horror-themed video for "Punishers" from debut album out September 12th on Third Man Records.

Austin, TX four-piece Die Spitz share a video for “Punishers,” the final single from the band’s forthcoming debut album, Something to Consume, due September 12 via Third Man Records.

“‘Punishers’ is about things or people who ‘punish.’ Whether it’s withholding love, jealousy, or keeping someone or even yourself hooked in a cycle—the song captures the feelings of insanity and frustration punishers bring,”

Chloe De St. Aubin explains. Of the Justin Wilson-directed video,

she says

“the ‘Punishers’ video features the story of a sad clown with little talent to give…but with her heart on her sleeve, she still yearns to be a star.

As postmodern society crumbles, Texas four-piece Die Spitz combine their passion, friendship, identity, and artistry to fight against the inescapable decay that surrounds life on their debut album, Something to Consume.

“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 song writing and vocal duties, and generating powerful song writing in concussive bursts, Die Spitz have created their own little pocket of the world where we can all stand on the edge together.

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 infamously riotous live show (one which saw the full five stars from Louder for their UK debut this summer), which regularly feature duelling cartwheels, climbing of rafters and solos while crowd-surfing, on the road across the US this Autumn on a tour that includes support dates with Viagra Boys and a headline run in support of Something to Consume. All dates below.

Die Spitz is Ava Schrobilgen, Chloe De St. Aubin, Eleanor Livingston and Kate Halter.
