Informationen zum Artikel: Now in it's second edition w/green cover! After Pope Benedict paid Germany a visit this year's spring, another highlight is following soon with the European tour of the godly THE SPITS! THE SPITS are well-known for their tilted, yet melodic new wave punk, just like a mixture of the RAMONES and thrashy DEVO. Take this and think of it being spit over the obscure sounds of the late 70's KILLED BY DEATH 7"s and you get quite a good grasp of what to expect from this band. THE SPITS are pure punk rock party! If you've seen them live and didn't freak out, you must be dead! I had that pleasure before - on their last European tour, when even a broken wrist didn't keep the guitarist/keyboarder from turning the whole audience in an old brothel musically upside down. Their crazy stage outfits (Ninja, Taliban, Reagan masks) complete the madness! The a-side (6 songs plus hidden bonus track) fully resembles that "die-hard-party-live-feeling". Catchy tunes such as "Die Die Die", "Drop Out" in a thrashy version, as well as unreleased KBD cover songs from THE KIDS, BLACK EASTER and CRAP DETECTORS will shake you up roughly, so that soon enough you will turn your living room furniture into a mess. The 6 songs on the b-side were being recorded live at the "Dave the Spazz radio show", and there's more SPITS party hits such as "Nuclear Bomb", "Spits Me Out", "Remote Control",... in raw, stripped down versions. All this is being wrapped up in a fabulous "spit on the Pope, and read your result in the Spit-o-meter" screen print cover. Artwork by Jose Menor, screenprinted by Slowboy.
