Austin punk outfit Die Spitz have announced their debut album Something To Consume, arriving on 12th September via Jack White’s Third Man Records. The Texas four-piece — known for their raucous live shows and genre-defying sound — launch this next chapter with a thunderous lead single, Throw Yourself To The Sword.
Die Spitz
Fuelled by existential angst, camaraderie, and a fierce creative spirit, Something To Consume sees Die Spitz blend classic punk, hardcore, alt-rock, and metal in a head-on collision of sound and spirit. With production from Will Yip (Turnstile, Mannequin Pussy), the album is an emotionally charged statement piece that captures both the chaos and beauty of modern life.
“There’s a political side to it,” explains guitarist/vocalist Ellie Livingston, “but addiction and love can also be all-consuming.” That duality forms the backbone of Something To Consume, a record built on swapping instruments, shared songwriting, and unified rage.
New single Throw Yourself To The Sword offers a blistering dose of defiance. “It’s the raise of optimism,” Livingston adds. “Despite living in a state of mundanity or hopelessness, you can still rise up and fight the unknown — as long as you’re willing to throw yourself to it.” Directed by Emily Sanchez, the video mirrors the track’s relentless energy and cathartic message.
Though still in their early 20s, the members of Die Spitz — Ava Schrobilgen, Chloe De St. Aubin, Ellie Livingston, and Kate Halter — have crafted a record that’s bold, raw, and wholly their own. United by a friendship that began in childhood and a late-night viewing of The Dirt, the group formed in 2022 and quickly carved out a name with their unhinged live performances and rafter-scaling chaos.
Live, the band is known for cartwheels, crowd-surfing solos, and an anything-goes approach that’s made their gigs a must-see. Their early shows mixed originals with covers of Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Pixies, and Black Sabbath — influences that echo across the album’s 11 tracks. Songs like Pop Punk Anthem channel that sonic lineage into something fresh, jagged, and emotionally charged. “It may sound like a love song at first,” Schrobilgen explains, “but when the beat kicks in, it’s the obsession that takes over.”
As the world spirals, Something To Consume emerges as both protest and embrace — a feral, free-wheeling expression of identity, connection, and rebellion. “There’s no limit or power dynamic that can derail us,” says De St. Aubin. “This band is where we are most ourselves.”
