The Spits will embark today on a long-awaited tour in support of their latest album VI. The West Coast tour dates are the band’s first since the album’s release in fall of 2020.
VI finds the band blazing through 17 minutes or so of scrappy punk. Recorded in Michigan basements, it captures the band’s raucous energy.
“We’ve only been into an actual studio like three times,” says vocalist/guitarist Sean Wood. “I don’t think we’ve had one record that was recorded all in one place, this may be the closest thing. And for these songs, we’d record a couple tracks, step away and go back at it later–sometimes weeks later. You know, take our time.”
