The Spits VI
\n<\/em>Thriftstore Records, 2020<\/p>\n

\"TheJust in time for Halloween\u00a0in the\u00a0epically shitty year 2020 comes a gift from one of garage punk’s greatest gifts:\u00a0Spewing up\u00a0from the post-apocalyptic<\/a> Michigan wastelands that birthed\u00a0this malformed mutant punk troupe infamously known as The Spits, comes LP number six , a full nine years after their last LP. It’s hard to believe it’s been 9 years since In The Red Records unleashed their classic record number 5, especially because, like their other releases, it hasn’t lost its fire and flavor at all over\u00a0those 9 years. Stylistically The Spits don’t break any new ground on VI<\/em>, but that’s not what you go to The Spits for time and time again. You go to The Spits to get your clock cleaned by catchy-as-fuck punk blurts that barely reach the 2 minute mark, slathered in fuzz, weird vocal FX, and so-simple-they’re-brilliant lyrics\u00a0stitched\u00a0together with an uncanny ear worms and a tinny trash rock beat. Recorded in various\u00a0basements in the midwest by midwest bedroom punk luminary Erik Nervous<\/strong>, this record is a slight departure from The Spits’ Seattle output, but worry not, as the\u00a0sound you know and love is all there, mixed for maximum brain-frying impact on cassette 4-track.<\/p>\n

Although it appears to have sold out on its October 30 release date from the Spits’ Thriftstore Records<\/a>\u00a0Big Cartel site, you might be able to snag a copy on black or red vinyl elsewhere on the interwebs. Like all The Spits’ previous records, you’ll need this one and give it many spins.<\/p>\n
