“People are fucking angry. I’m fucking angry,” says Eleanor Livingston, one of the vocalists/ guitarists of Die Spitz. “I think there’s a lot to be angry about in these times.”
You feel that anger as soon as you hit play on Something To Consume, the debut album from the Texan hardcore punks. There’s the smouldering furore of opener Pop Punk Anthem (Sorry For The Delay), the high-octane Girlschool-esque anthem Riding With My Girls, and Throw Yourself To The Sword – a headbanger that plucks a riff from Tony Iommi’s subconscious and pairs it with an unflinching decree to find “that thing missing deep in your spine”. Singing of fury, consumption and disillusionment, they’re not pulling any punches.
