The Spits

Playing old-school punk rock and roll with an up-to-date degree of snottiness and mordant laughter, the Spits possess loved a surprisingly lengthy and healthy job bashing away stripped-down rock and roll tunes with equal stocks of attitude, aggressive eccentricity, and muscle mass. Spits founders Sean Solid wood (acoustic guitar and vocals) and Erin Solid wood (bass and vocals) are siblings who have been born and elevated in Allegan, Michigan and started producing music in 1987 having a music group known as the Riot Midgets. Determining the Allegan picture was as well sleepy to them, Sean and Erin going to Seattle, Washington in 1990, as well as the 1st lineup from the Spits was created a 12 months later on with drummer Wayne Draves. The music group bounced round the Northwest picture for quite some time playing makeshift gigs before placing out its 1st solitary, “Tired and Lonesome,” in 1997. In 2000, Nickel & Dime Information released the band’s self-titled debut recording, as well as the Spits strike the road, creating a reputation for his or her wild stage display, their relentless touring routine, and their habit of dressing for the target audience, obtaining decked out in anything from monks robes to homemade mummy clothes to Ronald Reagan masks. The drummer’s seat within the Spits became something of the revolving door, though Draves was mostly of the timekeepers to keep and eventually go back to the group, so when the Spits extended to some four-piece with the help of a keyboard participant (partly so they can explore their Devo impact), the area behind the synth also tended to improve frequently. Nevertheless, that didn’t possess much effect on the Solid wood brothers’ ongoing advertising campaign being a “music group of individuals,” because they toured in a heady speed and released a reliable blast of singles, sometimes placing out albums (most self-titled) through punk imprints like Dirtnap Information and Slovenly Information, in addition to their very own Thriftstore label. In 2011, the Spits struck a cope with observed garage area punk label In debt Records, which lowered their 5th self-titled release within the same season, and in 2014 the group produced a great revolution by attaching a genuine title to 1 of their studio room initiatives: their second LP for In debt was called Wipe out the Kool.
