Die Spitz announce debut album Something to Consume

Die Spitz detail debut album and share video to lead single Throw Yourself to the Sword

Austin-based four-piece Die Spitz have announced details of their debut album Something to Consume, due out on Friday 12 September 2025 through Third Man Records. The release will be available across digital and physical formats.

The band have also released lead single Throw Yourself to the Sword, which lands today with a high-energy video directed by Emily Sanchez.

“Throw Yourself to the Sword is a high energy ode to what we want young people to feel. There’s a lot of existentialism and despair in other songs on the album that still sheath the same theme, but Throw Yourself to the Sword is the raise of optimism. 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,” said Ellie Livingston.

Produced by Will Yip (Turnstile, Mannequin Pussy), the album combines metal, punk, alt rock and grunge across 11 tracks, including the defiant Pop Punk Anthem (Sorry for the Delay) and cathartic RIDING WITH MY GIRLS. The full tracklist includes:

Pop Punk Anthem (Sorry for the Delay)
Voir Dire
Throw Yourself to the Sword
American Porn
Sound to No One
Go Get Dressed
Red40
RIDING WITH MY GIRLS
Punishers
Down on It
a strange moon/selenophilia

Speaking about the album’s political intent, Chloe De St. Aubin said, “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.”

Ellie Livingstone added on the collaborative process and themes running through the album, “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.”

The band are currently on tour in the UK for the first time, where they saw a show at the Shacklewell Arms upgraded to downstairs at The Dome due to demand, and they’ve since sold that out too. They’ll play 2000 Trees’ Cave Stage on Friday and a show in Milton Keynes before heading onto mainland Europe next week
