FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 8TH JULY 2006

SPiT LiKE THiS SUED BY JACK DANiELS (USA)

(Surrey, UK) SPiT LiKE THiS are being sued by drinks giant Jack Daniels (USA) over one of the T-shirts from their notorious SMELL YOUR MUM merchandise range.

The parody shirt depicts the famous Jack Daniels label with subtle alterations.  The words "Jack Daniels" were replaced with "Smell Your Mum"; "Tennessee Whisky" was replaced with "Offensive Clothing" and "Old No 7" with the Smell Your Mum logo - a raised middle finger!

This is the second time the band has been in trouble over one of their designs.  Clothing giant NiKE threatened to sue after the release of their "Chav...Just Kill It!" design.

LORD ZiON, singer with SPiT LiKE THiS and designer of the shirt says:

"It is pathetic and typical of big corporations. We are obviously way too Rock 'n' Roll for Jack Daniels, which is ironic when you consider how many rock bands have half drowned in the stuff.  It is also typically hypocritical of big business. Tell me, in the big scheme of things, who is the bigger criminal? The rock band that prints up a few parody t-shirts to help pay for more studio time or the huge corporation that makes intoxicating liquor and is responsible for contributing to the deaths of tens of thousands of people each year?!"

In tribute to this sham, SPiT LiKE THiS have made available for free download a song they recently recorded called "Coming After You" - a song about the tales of a rock star wannabe who is constantly chasing the next big drug hit. You can download from their website at www.spitlikethis.com 

  The T-Shirt has since been withdrawn from sale and the next SPiT LiKE THiS performance is at BAR MONSTA (formerly the G Lounge), Camden, London on Friday 14th July.
