Die Spitz


Die Spitz is an American rock band from Austin, Texas, consisting of guitarist/singer Ava Schrobilgen, guitarist/singer Eleanor Livingston, bassist Kate Halter, and drummer/singer Chloe de St. Aubin. Their debut album Something to Consume was released in September 2025.

History

Schrobilgen and Livingston have known each other since age three and met Halter in middle school; de St. Aubin was a later social media friend. They formed the band in 2022, and their name Die Spitz is German for "the pointed" or "the sharp." Several media outlets have reported that the band formed when the members were inspired by the Motley Crue biopic The Dirt, though the band disdains this origin story.
The band lists influences ranging from heavy metal to pop punk to grunge. While they are commonly categorized as a punk band, the members disagree with that label due to their focus on melody and composition, and their interests in a wide variety of genres. Their lyrics are informed by political activism, leading some journalists to draw comparisons with the 1990s riot grrl movement. The Fader has described the band's lyrics as "a wrecking ball against oppression and the tyranny of dark forces that suppress others."
Their first EP Revenge of Evangeline was released in late 2022 and attracted widespread notice in their home city of Austin, Texas, leading to frequent local performances and several appearances at the annual SXSW festival. The band's three singers often trade vocals rapidly within songs, and often swap instruments during live performances. In 2023 they released another EP titled Teeth, which won an Album of the Year award in Austin the following year. They have opened tours for bands including Amyl and the Sniffers, Off!, and Sleater-Kinney. A tour of England in 2025 attracted the attention of Metal Hammer, which called Die Spitz "the best new band in the world." They signed with Third Man Records in early 2025, and worked with producer Will Yip on their debut full-length album Something to Consume, which was released in September of that year.
Paste magazine has praised Die Spitz as "the real, explosive deal, unleashing some of the best rock and roll that Gen Z has to offer." Spin has called the band "one of the most riotous new live bands on the planet."
