"We
are not here to BE pop stars,we are here to BEAT pop
stars..." Lord
Zion, Aug 2008
How can
we explain to you what SPiT LiKE THiS is and how it should become part of your life, immediately? The easiest way is to ask you 3 simple questions:
1) Do you love bands that create amazing music?
2) Do you love bands that put on an incredible live show?
3) Do you love bands that have their own unique style and vision?
If you can answer Yes to one or more of those questions, you belong. You are one of us. Welcome.
There are three simple ingredients that make a band great: songs, looks and attitude.
SPiT LiKE THiS has all 3 in abundence.
FACT Since our humble beginnings, we have always fought to do things our own way, flying in the face of everyone's conceptions. It has been a long, hard battle to get even this far. The only rules we abide by are those that we make up, of which, there is just one: There Are No Rules.
SPiT LiKE THiS was, is, and forever shall be the ultimate in freedom of
expression. By doing it our way, we have had a
Top 10 UK Rock Chart "hit". Not bad
- for a start!
WHY?
Simple. No-one does it like this anymore. I mean, NO-ONE. We're the first, the one, the only
SPiT LiKE THiS. We aren't rich boys and girls whose parents subsidize our rock n roll playtime, we put our money where our mouth is and, at the same time, offer YOU - the people that matter - the best that we can do, with everything that we do, 100% of the time, without fail.
WHAT? We look good and we play good. We're everything your parents warned you
about - and more! Are you paying attention yet? Are you READY to join our huge ARMY that has amassed over the past couple of years? Or are you someone that waits to be told what to like?
Wait no longer - this is WAR - we are strong and defiant and we are WiNNiNG. We make a stand against everything that gets in our way and everything that pisses us off. We don't make the rules, we just break them.
WHEN? RiGHT NOW! It is happening under your feet. If you are just hearing about us, where the hell have you been?? We started off just like every other band that existed - a bunch of people getting together with a shared vision. But we were prepared to work harder than every other band which is why, so far, we have achieved this:
