THIRD MAN RECORDS DEBUT

SOMETHING TO CONSUME OUT SEPT 12TH

2025 FALL TOUR ANNOUNCED, DATES WITH VIAGRA BOYS

Austin, TX four-piece Die Spitz share a video “Pop Punk Anthem (Sorry For The Delay),” the ferocious new single from Something to Consume, the band’s debut album out Sept 12 via Third Man Records.

“Pop Punk Anthem (Sorry For The Delay)” somehow encapsulates elements throughout the band’s large musical swath of inspirations, which ranges from Black Sabbath, PJ Harvey and the Pixies to Mudhoney and Nirvana, building from roiling verses to a growled chorus. “‘Pop Punk Anthem’ is a story from the perspective of someone being drove to obsessive insanity through limerence towards a person that does not reciprocate the feelings. But mostly it’s just a fun song to pay homage to the great early 2000’s pop punk legends,” Ava Schrobilgen explains.

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 riotous live show on the road this fall on a tour that includes support dates with Viagra Boys and a headline run in support of Something to Consume, with more dates to be announced on 8/12. All dates below.

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

The Austinites express their ideas through a blend of classic punk, hardcore, metal, alt rock and more. The group has become known for their riotous live shows, where dueling cartwheels, climbing of rafters and solos while crowdsurfing could happen at any moment. “Something to Consume is an album experience for everyone. Whether you’re craving a smack of lively metal or a melancholy wave of grungey violin, there’s a piece of all of us injected. Something to Consume is a call to the multitudes of ways we as humans allow consumption to enrapture our culture as well as ourselves.”

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

The members of Die Spitz are Austin natives, with Schrobilgen and Livingston having met in preschool, befriending Halter in middle school, and immediately bringing De St. Aubin into their inner circle when they formed the band in 2022. The group was initially just looking to find reasons to hang out more often, and decided to start a band after a late-night viewing of the Mötley Crüe movie The Dirt. Though they’ve only been playing together a few years (not to mention Halter only learning to play bass to start the band), Something to Consume shows a maturity and technical prowess always wielded in service of their profound friendship.

The group settled on the name Die Spitz over a “brown bag of Fireball”, opting for the feminine German definite article in place of the English. “It reminds me of the Grim Reaper spitting,” Livingston jokes. At their first live shows, they paired originals with covers from some of their inspirations: Black Sabbath, Pixies, Mudhoney, PJ Harvey, and Nirvana. The beguiling "Pop Punk Anthem" somehow encapsulates elements throughout that large musical swath, building from roiling verses to a growled chorus. “It may sound like a love song at first, but when the beat kicks in it’s the obsession that takes over,” Schrobilgen says. “The words ‘you’re a part of me’ sound loving but it can be an insane emotion and privilege over someone else’s life.”

Across 11 tracks, Something to Consume contains multitudes and yet feels of a singular piece, an expansive and expressive set unified in its camaraderie and freedom. “We depend on our freedom—freedom to do what we want, present the ideas we want, make the music we want,” Livingston says. “Whether it’s based in metal or something soft, no matter which of us wrote the song, we all contribute and work together. As a person, I don’t have a strong ego or voice, but within this band each one of us is capable of so much more.”
