GLiTZiNE APRiL 2009
"Control is the last thing you'd expect from SPiT LiKE THiS, and true to form Lord Zion and crew finished the live element of 'The Boys Night Out' with an elegantly wasted set of debauchery and sin soaked tunes. By the time "Sleaze Sells" has converted the amassed throng into a singing arena rock audience done on a budget, the cover of Rocky Horrors "Sweet Transvestite" had the platform heeled lovelies in attendance moving like "Herman Munster" in a 100 meter dash.  Pedigree sleaze, and a perfect curtain call to proceedings when Lord Zion confessed that he once had a Birthday cake made in the cover of the Tailz "Beserk". Cue, certain audience members to look skywards to try and work out just how old that made the new lord of Sex Drugs and Heavy Metal…. Classic!!!"

WALL OF SOUND FEBRUARY 2009
"Though Spit Like This have been gigging and recording for years, this is the band's first true studio album, and it's a damn fine one. If you're sick of bands who have 'a sound' and you're ready to rediscover what rock'n'roll is really all about, there could be no finer place to start. The variety on show here is just as dazzling as the CD itself. Setting out their stall with straightforward opener 'Sex Drugs & Heavy Metal', the band show a hint of what's to come with the glam rock inspired 'Heart Thief', where there's more of their character on show. From then on, it's a rollercoaster ride all the way, as Spit Like This prove that they're not afraid to take you anywhere. From the eerie soundscape of 'Dead Girl Walking', through the menace and dark introspection of 'Act of God' and the epic musicality of 'Pussywhipped', to the rock'n'roll masterclass of 'Coming After You' and the irresistible madness of 'Sleaze Sells...But Who's Buying?', this is an album full of surprises. To describe it as an over-all experience, it's best to imagine it as a visit to New Orleans during Mardi Gras - imagine good times with your buddies, loud music, drunken debauchery, an edge of danger, a side-order of sleaze, and a healthy dose of the macabre. This is music as it ought to be."

SOUNDSHOCK JANUARY 2009
"A band who have built up a strong cult following and have been awarded the title of the UK’s trashiest band continue the glam rock witnessed in the early hours and put in a performance that many will remember as one of the best of the weekend." Hard Rock Hell II performance  www.soundshock.net 

GLiTZiNE EZiNE JANUARY 2009
"Admiration. That's a bold opening word for the review of a debut album from a young British band, but admire Spit Like This I do. I had been impressed from afar by their shameless self-promotion and their hard worth ethic of striving to do everything bigger and better than their contemporaries. I couldn't even visit the winter Memorabilia show at Birmingham's NEC to meet my favourite Z-list actors without seeing SLT's Lord Zion and Vikki Spit selling shirts and handing out "Kill A Chav" stickers. At last month's Hard Rock Hell 2 festival, I continued to be blown away as the band seemingly spent the entire evening before their (horribly early) set on the weekend's second day covering the prison complex...umm...I mean holiday camp with scores of promo posters and putting a flyer in almost every sweaty hand. But, of course, it worked a fuckin' treat as, after what seemed like mere minutes after retiring to their luxury apartments, hundreds of dishevelled rock fans turned up to see Spit Like This open the day's proceedings on the stroke of midday. Their brand of dark, camp entertainment turned the lunch hour into the witching hour and they closed their set as haunted heroes and heroine.

I was impressed enough to shell out for the album 'We Won't Hurt You (But We Won't Go Away)' - that's right, no fancy promo discs for this righteous reviewer! In all honesty, I was impressed before I even got to put the disc in the ol' death deck. The cover art and booklet are simply stunning and pretty much everything you look for with any release. Again, Spit Like This are showing others how to do it. Yes, the awesome cover painting does make it look like the end of a penis is poking out of Vikki's hot pants but, c'mon, that's how rock 'n' roll myths are made, right?!

The album itself is a devil's dozen of amazingly well-produced and freakishly fun dark terror tunes that are equal parts ambitious, self-indulgent and ass-kickingly awesome. Gloriously titled opener 'Sex, Drugs & Heavy Metal' is infected with superb backing vocals that happily haunt the entire record, a record that careens from vile vaudeville to killer cabaret. Murder ballad 'Dead Girl Walking' bleeds into serial killer tune 'Hunt You Down' with its War Machine-style riff. 'Pussywhipped' opens with unlikely yet excellent hints of Sigue Sigue Sputnik with its 80's sounding synth, before turning into a classic rock tune as soon as the full moon appears. 'Coming After You', an 80's metal throwback, is the nearest you'll get to a whiff of filler but, hey, we've all got our upside down crosses to bear. 'Sleaze Sells...But Who's Buying?' is great and the album ends in style with 'Trick Or Mistreat'.

You just know that Spit Like This are gonna tour the ass off this record. They will spread their word to thousands and they are courageously confident enough to pull it off. We need bands like this. We need people who will keep going until they get what they want. Spit Like This are deadly serious about their band without taking themselves too seriously - does that make sense? There is a dark humour to the band and their work - theirs is a tongue in the cheek of anyone who will listen. There is no point in being clever if you have bad judgement - Spit Like This appear to be the former while being severely devoid of the latter. On the strength of what I have seen and heard recently, the Spit Like This story will be a successful, albeit darkly twisted, one."

TOP ROCK RADiO, NOVEMBER 2008
"'We Wont Hurt You (But We Won't Go Away)' has to be the release of the year, an album that will take you on a roller coaster ride through 13 amazing tracks, The story unfolds as each track plays taking the listener on a journey through catchy rock that you will be singing along to, picking up glam and punk themes and even a "big band" jazz feel along the way. The true stadium tracks are guaranteed and your experience will even witness the darker gothic side of a band that demand attention and you will be subservient.  This is a must have CD for any collection - The Beerman gives it 10/10"

ORGAN MAGAZiNE, FEB 2008
"Spit Like This are a defiantly healthy shock rock throw back. Four of them, looking good and sounding even better. Classic punked-up no messing shock-rocking glam metal stomp – think Madam X, early Crue, Wolfsbane, Misfits, Alice Cooper, early days of Poison, Twisted Sister (before things got all MTV slick), think all that and stick in a great big blender with some London X factor, shake it all up, stir it just a little and throw it all right back up along with all the fake stage blood and the soiled tampon damage. Painted leather, big black hair, even bigger attitude - smoke machines, riffs, fluorescence colour, Ant-beats, lurid skulls, theatrics and everything as over the top as it could possibly be – no one does it quite like Spit Like This! Horror glam punk rock is what they call it and on stage is where it all comes to larger than life reality. This is not twee indie music for the faint hearted! Lord Zion up front demanding attention, Vikki Spit driving things with her meaty bass lines, Cyndi Rott with the punk-metal riffs and Vile Gilez banging the beat. – the four of them are just one big brash shock-metal riot-ball rolling right on at you and assaulting all your senses at once... They roar through their short set (this is a club more than a regular full-on gig), that slice through an outrageous helping of Sweet Transvestite Rocky Horror Picture Show - riffs fly, hair flies, audience participation is demanded , strobes erupt, rock is shocked and once again Spit Like This more than live up to their growing word-of-mouth live reputation... See ‘em if you dare." 

"Goth-glam shock rock band Spit Like This made me nostalgic for my old Sounds days. Back then if I’d seen a band this enjoyably outrageous they’d have been reviewed within the week and on the cover in a month or too. Happy days…"
Garry Bushell

SUGARBUZZ MAGAZiNE, JUNE 2007
"May 23 at London Underworld proved to be another one of those perfect rock nights where a visiting classic U.S. band calls on fresh local talent to help recruit a new generation of fans. Tonight Spit Like This and Gypsy Pistoleros were supporting LA Guns.

Spit Like This turned out to be a jaw-droppingly engaging act, delivering a delicious mix of punk, goth and glam, their multi-layered rock-noire combining vaguely surrealistic Art House finesse with a banging knack for catchy rock songwriting. The band’s poise, sense of humour, and the way they manage to revamp the traditional stylistic fetishes, are all perfectly united to match the outward expression to their inner essence. In this sense Spit Like This are totally in a league of their own, dosing diverse influences in just the right measures to create one distinctive, unique whole. 

Vikki Spit’s seductive look and the way she puts an erotic edge to the band’s style is what you notice first in Spit Like This, as well as the way this image resonates with the music. Singer Lord Zion sustains this band’s claim to attention on another front, working his stage moves without a trace of inhibition, doing everything he finds necessary to turn the band’s show into a cleverly constructed dramatic performance. 

The standout “Obscene (But Not Heard)” was probably the best number of the set with frantic leads from vocal dynamo Zion, shaded by cool backing vox courtesy of Vikki. The guitar solo spread over a sequence of just a few chords, but still hit on an emotional core beyond the song’s simple punk harmony. This song was an almost tangible hit, vibrant, catchy and very fun to get into. 

The band’s punk inclinations later turned out to be the backbone of almost all of the songs that they played that evening. “Sweet Transvestite” was another punchy highlight boasting a snappy hook, the rhythm section nailing the punk groove perfectly, with big, unremitting muscle. The bass on all of the band’s songs always stands up for itself, sounding round and contained, Vikki making sure that the notes don’t swell too much, while drummer Vile Giles guides the band with sharp, confident precision. 

Song after song Spit Like This invented new ways to intrigue the audience, staying true to the trademark vigorous punk impulse at the heart of their music. The coolest thing about this band though is probably the way they know how to get rid of cliché by skilfully transforming and layering different styles, creating one seamlessly unique whole. The degree of affirmation and denial of each music genre that goes into their sound varies from song to song, and this is what keeps it genuinely exciting"

ONLiNE REViEW, APRiL 2007
"21/4/07 Spit Like This, enchanted a somewhat assorted audience at Kentish Town's notorious underground music haunt, the Bull and Gate. Armed and ready with their dynamic set of Glam / Punk / Shock Rock tunes, SLT's Rock ‘n’ Roll anthems put the crowd’s (hopefully) well oiled dancing shoes, and the hairspray on those ever enthusiastic glam kids to the ultimate test. Spit like this proved they have the whole thing going on. From green light to ‘Sweet Transvestite’, they unquestionably have it all, and possibly the only band that could successfully pull off a tasteful Rocky Horror cover. “Who Needs You” and “Sex, Drugz, n Heavy Metal” were just two of the monumental melodies that left the party people wanting more. An all too rare visit to LDN undeniably paid off, made clear by shouts, screams and wholehearted waves of appreciation .. ‘Who Needs You?’ rule breakers, mischief makers and just about anyone up for some damn good music!"

"SPiT LiKE THiS - Rock n' roll - Bull & Gate, Kentish Town 21/4/07
This lot just get filthier and filthier. Slimmed down to a four piece with a new guitarist on the form of the stunning Cyndi Rott, SLT are now a leaner, meaner, fighting machiner (?) and all the better for it. Unlike 99.9% of the underground bands you see, SLT don't just put on a gig, they put on a SHOW. So all the lights, the props, the smoke, the blood, the sweat, would all mean nothing if the music didn't back it. But it does, being the all important highlight with their rock n' roll showing it ain't dead yet as it is "Dragged Kicking And Screaming" back into the lime light with anthems like "Not Dead Yet" and The Rocky Horror Show's "Sweet Transvestite" (surely this lot being the rock n' roll embodiment of that). Everyone watched, people danced, they themselves were swinging all over the place, people had a good time, as I think did they. I know I did!" - gig review myspace.com/dukesterpromotions

DEEP CUT HOUR RADIO, JUNE 2006
"But LUCKY for us we walked in just as support group "SPIT LIKE THIS" started. and let me tell you THEY ROCKED! a group of 4, oozing gothic sex appeal, 3 guys all tall, skinny fuckerz, rockin long back hair and tight trousers. lord zion vocals, stevie lee on guitar and vile gilez on drums, and the stunningly georgous vikki spit on bass bearly wearing a tight fettish nurses dress! WOW!! lord zion took the croud by storm dominating the stage with his prancing around, and for me the highlight was his STUNNING cover of "sweet transvestite" from the rocky horror picture show. (this dude IS frank n furter!)" gig review from isle of wight, 23rd june 2006

INSOMNiA, ISSUE 2, MAY 2006
Featuring 21 tracks and lasting 77 minutes, SCARY TALES: The Collection is the ultimate in sleaze rock. The CD pretty much consists of everything that this excellent band has recorded so far with previous Ep's and also has some brand new tracks on there for your audio pleasure. SPiT LiKE THiS aren't afraid to tell it how it is and pull no punches with this trashy and sleazy classic of an album. The album simply oozes sex and sleaze. This is ultimate glam and sleaze rock and it's very, very best. On this evidence, SLT are well on their way to becoming the new Cramps.

BUBBLEGUM SLUT, ISSUE 22, MAY 2006
Since 2001 SPiT LiKE THiS have been giving the world a lesson in doing it your own way. An entrepreneurial streak selling panties (pre-worn) and filthy T-Shirts (washed, actually), a unique sleaze-shock rock sales pitch which has attracted armies of teen fans (or SLuTz) and attention grabbing antics ranging from playing with blow-up dolls and fake blood onstage to offering a funeral service for ailing celebrities have seen one of Britain's hardest working acts gets from early demos to this first full length release.

Rather than being a debut album proper, "Scary Tales" collects together those demos (remastered and with added bonus material) and tells the story so far with a view to funding the first album proper. Over it's whopping 21 tracks "Scary Tales" takes you on a journey from still-finding-their-feet early recordings as a duo to the thrashy, screamy, altogether more rock "Not Dead Yet" (from "Anarchy For Two") and glam rocker "Obscene (But Not Heard)" which intriduced the full band line-up. From there we come right up to date and to the "Sleaze Sells...But Who's Buying?" EP which spawned live favourites such as the Rocky Horror-esque "Trick Or Mistreat" and "Dragged Kicking and Screaming".

So, go on, pick up a copy so we can all get an earful of what they're capable of in a big budget studio!

Since their inception many a sexed moon ago, Spit Like This have been all about Playboy love, sex tapes, cigar cuttting, lipstick smearing, pirate styling sleaze rock and making their homemade sound breach more than the streets of London. Well, with recent EP Sleaze Sells...But Who's Buying did just that. Amazon was spitting like this, HMV online was too and many an online rock chart carried the bands name loud and proud. So while the boys and girls make the follow up, they've decided to treat their 'slutz' with a career spanning best of. Scary Tales: The Collection has arrived and has even been banned by Asda. Rock and fucking roll.

The CD itself follows all five previous EPs and even packs on a couple of extra shots for the purists. Asshole (Parts I & II) is a yodelling sex cry which eventually pumps into a fast as fuck punk swagger. Hooked On You is Eurovision meets Ron Jeremy; synth heavy and melody driven with the bands usual stamp of Adam Ant and Johnny Rotten shot through an electro-disco cannon. Trust Your Instincts (2003 and 2005 versions) still carries the now immortal SLT line "Selling used panties on eBay sure is a way to make your living, but its might not be something you should tell your dad about..." with the '05 version getting more vote thanks to its new shiny speed and packaging. 

And thats just it with Spit Like This. They are a band of many beasts. Punk, metal, glam, little bit pop, full on theatre and as the eras roll by, its easier to see the amount of invention that comes out of the bands timeline. Not Dead Yet screams like a punk monster on heroin with its endless barrel roll guitar lines, piercing drum beats and punching vocals. Rebel Lover has always been a favourite of mine and as the hook injected track kicks off the second half of this collection. And it is the stock on the Dragged Kicking And Screaming EP that marks the best for me, it was about the time I started listening to these renegade crew. As Obscene (But Not Heard) and Who Needs You (I Don't) rings through the speakers, its easy for this reviewer to spark into a nostalgic sing-a-long. Hahaha..."If I wanted a date with your mum then don't you think I'd have asked her".

Then onto modern day with Rocky Horror punk tune Trick Or Mistreat, chav basher Gay Man and Playboy playground rhyme Dragged And Kicking In Screaming. The end is one for the fans, Down On You sounds like it's picked straight from the score of a band musical. Maybe West Spit Story, Grease (-y sex) or The Loin King (ok thats awful I know). Someday is the bands original swansong anthem, spat (no pun intended) lyrics on a pulsing bed of instrument noise as the album closes with a couple of live tracks.

Well, I don't know when the next SLT product is going to infiltrate shops. I don't know if the band knows but Scary Tales: The Collection is the perfect intermission

“The latest release from 'The UK's Trashiest Band' SPiT LiKE THiS - which actually went to #1 on the Amazon singles chart on pre-orders alone!  The title track 'Trick Or Mistreat' is a kind of camp Rocky Horror Hallowe'en song, whilst 'Trust Your Instincts' documents the SLT attitude to life, from selling used panties on eBay to Lord Zion offering instructions on how to eat, live and sleep.  The 4th song 'Gay Man' is an Anti-Chav Anthem that you all owe it to yourselves to own!  A twisted Glammy Rock'n'Roll mix of the NY Dolls, Lords of the New Church and The Cramps.  Lord Zion and Vikki Spit are well on the way to becoming the new Lux and Ivy!"

“Lets get the bands name out there!” scream management companies across the world, “all we need is promotion” and “let’s get you guys on the map”. All very clichéd but ultimately true, and nothing sells like having a band of renegade rock ‘n’ rollers willing to shock rock the world into submission. Enter stage right, Spit Like This and their first nationally distributed EP ‘Sleaze Sells…But Who’s Buying?’

‘Trick Or Mistreat’ opens the album in a full burlesque theatre manner. Its Rocky Horror Picture Show meets glam rock as frontman Lord Zion takes the tune through chorus and verse with a perverse campness that is still filled with enough testosterone to probably make the boys and the girls swoon. An opening highlight indeed as the CD starts with the start-stop drums of ‘Trust Your Instincts’.

Opening on the lyric ‘Selling your used panties on Ebay may not be the best way to make a living…’ demonstrates the type of band we are ultimately dealing with here. In terms of song, it doesn’t stand up to the desire of the opener but holds enough power to keep the SLT party rolling along nicely.

‘Dragged Kicking And Screaming’ starts on almost childlike mimic tune as Zion fanfares the chorus. Over killer drums and a nice bit of guitar work the tune leads us into an old rock ‘n’ roll beat, a la the 1960s, which just adds to the eclectic influences on the EP. Closer ‘Gay Man’ is a joint highlight as it hails itself as one of the first anti-chav songs. Snarling instruments and biting vocals mixing anger with groove and melody. Another staple Spit Like This number.

Four songs over and its time to put the ‘Sleaze Sells…’ EP to bed. A first mainstream effort for a band who have the balls to take the scene by the scruff of his neck and kick it into a world where camp can be king and all the rock stars still get to go home and screw whatever and whoever they like. Ok, it isn’t Motley Crue, it isn’t Led Zeppelin but it is sleazy sexy rock. One thing is true, if this band gets their way then soon the rock market will be talking like this, walking like this, loving like this, fucking like this and ultimately spitting like this as well.

"SINGLE OF THE WEEK 
SPIT LIKE THIS – Sleaze Sells….But Who’s Buying? (But) - Ah yes, back on track and wired and weird and sleazed up, like The Rocky Horror Picture Show going all the way and then some more, wear what they tell you and do it now. Their first ‘proper’ single, they already have a massive following and a million ‘offensive’ t-shirts out there – the last demo hinted at compromise, none of that here, they’ve seen the error of their ways. Think Adam Ant, The Godamn Whores, T-Rex, Motley Crue, early Twisted Sister (when they were still a punked up shock rock band right back at the start). PVC nurses uniforms, boys in high heels like new york dolls, think sleaze and porn and wholesome things like that – total trash rock, ridiculously shaped guitars, raw raw operatic rocky horror trash rock  - chav baiting, fetish strutting, over the top sleaze….. the kind of band that your parents worry about, a band to throw your underwear at - ban this filth now… organart.com (issue 118, may 12th '05)

"SPiT LiKE THiS - Sleaze Sells...But Who's Buying? - Lord Zion and his 5 pronged attack of muscians release an EP that FINALLY truly displays the attitude of SPiT LiKE THiS. On this CD you get glammy, sleazy, and downright dirty music that makes The Darkness look like small timers. Lord Zion's vocals soar and remind you of happier days when Axl Rose wrote such masterpieces as "Rocket Queen". On this new CD you get to hear the drumming sourcery of Vile Gilez along with the pure shredding abilty of the resident ladies man, Stevie Lee. This isn't deep thoughtful metal, this is in-your-face, we-like-sex-and-booze-and-how-do-you-like-that rock reminscent of bands such as G'N'R but like nothing you've ever heard. Tracks of note are "Trick Or Mistreat" and my personal favorite, "Trust Your Instincts". If 
you have a pace maker, don't buy this CD." vince wylde, usa rock dj

"'No one makes music like we do anymore!' enthuses SLT singer Lord Zion.  And as much as that may seem like a bold brash statement, it's also very true!  This four track EP is a unique and radio friendly debut that sees songs coated in safe sex, drugs and old school rock and roll.  This is as close to the latter as a radio listener will get to hear before the 9pm watershed.  Stand out track 'Trick or Mistreat' is a very Rocky Horroresque number which caputres all the essence of a cheesy sexual parody.  All laced, feather boa and leather fuelled with overly contagious sing along choruses.  You must also see the accompanying video to believe just how wickedly captive it is!  Also listed on the EP is Anti-Chav song 'Gay Man' which is a live favourite among their army of loyal SLuTz.  So, in answer to the question ...Who's Buying? I'm Sold!!  SLT are a band who would get into bed with everybody and anybody, with one goal, to affect and inject every human being on the planet with some outrageous sexually charged fun!!" devolution magazine (issue six, august 2005) "Sleaze Sells...But Who's Buying?"

"The latest EP from the rock'n'roll glamour punks SPiT LiKE THiS is a 3 track offering oozing New York Dolls attitude and sleaze, with very catchy songs that lodge in the head and make you wanna get up and dance till you drop.  Embodying the spirit of Jack Daniels rock'n'roll approach like no other band since the Dogs D'Amour, and with a take no prisoners attitude, this pisses all over the atrocious pseudo-punk bands pedalled out by the major labels!  A hardcore version of Rachel Stamp with some Lords Of The New Church mixed in, this is a must for all glam-goths and fans of great sleazy rock" - kaleidoscope magazine, issue 18 winter 2004/2005 "Dragged Kicking & Screaming" EP

"Opening tonight's gig, SPiT LiKE THiS weren't the hardcore punk band that some might have expected...instead we got a glammy cross that was 30% Guns n' Roses, 60% New York Dolls and 110% glorious attitude!  Songs littered with expletives and societal put downs, they put on a great show and were fun to watch - unless you were one of the 'lucky ones' who got showered when the guitarist (called Wank Sinatra apparently) spat fake blood over the audience... The lead singer - Lord Zion to you scurvy ratz - strutted about with all the r'n'r swagger of Jagger, Johanson, and Steve Tyler, whilst most of the blokes in the audience went on about some female bassist called Vikki Spit (who I couldn't see cos they all stood in my way...) All in all this was a bloody good gig from a band that embody the rock'n'roll lifestyle and will happily annihilate all posers, pretenders, and townies - see their website www.spitlikethis.com for more info and great merchandise!" - kaleidoscope magazine, issue 18 winter 2004/2005 The Damned/SPiT LiKE THiS, Union Bar, Maidstone, Kent gig

"Wow! I was totally into this, only to find it was just 3 songs.

Spit Like This are one helluva band that slams sleaze down your throat over and over again. The only way I can describe the band, is take Gemini Five and replace the vocalist with Michael Sweet, with that said, meet Spit Like This. 

This is only a 3 song EP, but every song is a winner... 'Rebel Lover', the very Beautiful Creature vibed 'Obscene (But Not Heard)', and the keyboard enthused 'Who Needs You', with a chorus that a guy can sing to his girlfriend who is never satisfied and is always on a constant bitch-mode! Ha Ha! Spit Like This is an excellent band with all the sleaze you could ever want. Check them out!

Spit Like This "Dragged Kicking & Screaming", 10 out of 10 stars. Sleaze down your throat" - glitzine, february 2005

"I’m not sure why UK flash rock culture-vulture enclave Spit Like This don’t release whole albums, instead of singles and EPs all the time, but really, that’s none of my business. It’s probably all part of some top-secret Sigue Sigue Superplan. But this 3 songer LOOKS enough like a stand alone LP that I’m just going to pretend it is. First thing that’s different this time around is that the Spit Like This are no longer a dastardly duo – founding freaks Lord Zion and Vikki Spit are now joined by a trio of like-named (Wank Sinatra, Vile Gilez, Stevie Lee) cyber warriors in glow in the dark smoking jackets and Apache warpaint. Says here they play stuff too, but since Zion has been known to conduct cyborg symphonies by himself in his bedroom, that could be a ruse. Anyway, the 5 man glam-gang offer up three tracks of gooey glitter rock here, brash and brassy and catchier than the crosstown bus at quitting time. Soundwise, divide Desolation Boulevard era Sweet with “Electric Barbarella” era Duran Duran, multiply by Doctor and the Medics, toss in a liberal dose of that fairy dust that strippers wear, and you’ve nailed the b-movie disco massacre scene soundtrack that is Spit Like This. “Rebel Lover” is the most neon number on deck here, but all three will have you turning Japanese in no time." - sleazegrinder.com, november '04, "dragged kicking & screaming"

"Slutty Music for Slutty People.  Interested yet? Spit Like This are a sleazy, dirty, trashy band who will grab you by your balls until you pass out.  This CD is a way of life.  The songs are explosive and impulsive and extremely infectious.  They're a DIY band who have put their hearts, souls and fists (no doubt) into this to make it the punchy little number it's become.  It would seem that SLT are set to break even with this cd and lead their army of SLuTz into a whole new freaky world of rock 'n' roll.  As they've said themselves, 'We created this little universe for our own amusement, this is our playground where we make the rulez! Wanna Play?'" - devolution magazine, issue 3, october '04, "dragged kicking & screaming"

"Normally I don’t care too much for biographies as they contain loads of over-the-top references, big marketing-related one-liners, plain idiot name-dropping and stupid crap in general. The irrelevant nonsense I have to read, you wouldn’t believe. 

But, I guess you could see this one coming from a mile away, these of-the-chart wacko Brits, are one of the exceptions to the rule. The story of their conception, the Big Bang as it were, is too hilarious to keep from you. 

Behind door number one we have the über-pervert Lord Zion, who had a leather-and-lace infested vision and wanted to waste no time to fulfill his fantasies and share it with his unsuspecting audience. He sounds like a guy I could become friends with. 

Next up, enter Vikki Spit, an oversexed bass playing vixen, and a hellish deal was made. She sounds like a girl I …hmmm…never mind. The first thing they did to raise some money was taking advantage of some poor twisted guys (and girls) by selling Vikki’s used panties through E-Bay. You can imagine that in no time lots of money was rolling in, so step two of their plan was now in order: start a website, call it “Smell Your Mum” & sell offensive T-shirts & gadgets. That would certainly do the trick they thought & right they were: more money was gathered. By now they had enough dough to release their trash totally independent on CD and one of these little darlings is currently caressing my hearing. 

Look, even if half of the above is true, it still is rock ‘n’ roll to the bone. So what do they sound like, you ask me? Well, kinda like you would expect them to sound: trashy, way over the top, hardcore sleaze to the max. They sport more tattoos than half the population of the American Indian Reservations and don’t make complete asses of themselves handling their instruments. All the songs have a simple don’t-bore-us-get-to-the-chorus setup and that’s really all it takes to get the desired effect: to have you start singing obscenities all through the day, and get away with it. They have my respect, bands like this make rock the colorful way of life it is today. A live size poster of Mrs. Spit can come my way now, thank you very much..." - rockreport.be, "dragged kicking & screaming", october '04

"A full on balls out no bullshit snotty snarling punk attitude sadistic masochistic love machine sex beast of a rock n' roll band. The band make music look & sound dangerous & rebellious again living by their own rules and lifestyle and this, their third CD, is the aural personification of that blood dripping spit strewn image. Rock N' Roll doesn't sound like this almost EVER anymore, and seldom less do it this well. Rock N' Roll on. Well recorded, well captured for nonstop playback. Not only this, it's also ORIGINAL with choruses and verse split in each song so it's unpredictable too. Oh yes that's something that's been missing for oh so long. You NEED to witness this band just once...

* voted The TRASHiEST BAND IN THE UK by Acey Slade's Trash Light Vision competition (Murderdolls member)." - the dukester, october '04

"Spit like this“ is a new Sleaze Band from England, and they really kickz ass. The EP called “Dragged Kicking & Screaming” and is a great cup of Sleaze n Roll music with glam and punk influence. “Rebel Lover” is the opener and this track have a really special chorus, I think when I get drunk,and listening this song: I bang my head to the dead. My Fave of this 3 track EP is the song “Obscene” a real Killer who rockz the hell out of everyone. Take a hip hop dude, chain him and give em a loud taste of this song, i believe his head exploded – this song is so cool, i became to sell my grandmother for this phantastic track. We come to the last song “Who needs you” and i like the guitar work and the Voize of “Lord Zion” the real Grandmaster and Godfather of the Spit like universe. The band gimmick is great, sex drugs and rock n roll and least they have a beautiful bass guitar girl “Fetish Queen Vikki Spit” Hell shez too hot to handle. All right, this band really kicks ass, I hope to listening a full record soon - i think the have a great future. My last words: Buy thiz EP when you are a real Sleaze Rocker" - sleaze-metal.com, switzerland, sept '04

"Absolutely one of the most outrageously sexy and blatantly RnR bands out there. Not only are they entirely self financed by their quite brilliant T-shirt sales site SmellYourMum and eBay sales of Vikki's used panties but Lord Zion (as yon scary vocalist likes to be known) is renowned for his pyromaniac tendencies, SPiT LiKE THiS custom Hearse not to mention his penchant for writing the kind of songs that leaves you wondering what the fuck just happened." - fivemileshigh.com, uk, sept '04 - more cumming soon!

"Spit Like This are, simply, great. They are the 100% DIY band, doing everything themselves, from – according to them – selling soiled underwear to finance themselves, to their clothes (their collection of T-shirts is hilarious) and stage props. They are what Coldplay (just picked up one at random) are not: glamorous, beautiful (hey, look at Vikki, bass player and fetish queen, who has got a phwoar factor equal to a punk Betty Boop), they have a sense of humour, they hate garage, ghetto rap whatever (special mention for that one as well)… oh, and they do know how to play their instruments. Singer Lord Zion is very charismatic, looking the part (long hair, make-up and tight trousers). They are cock rock meets punk meets classic rock meets whatever you want to see in it… I would have thought them louder, though. I don’t think that the venue was doing them any favours, and I am pretty sure that good equipment would enable them to reach their full potential." - magicbox, france

"So what do you say about this band, to start with they definitely are very very rock n roll and they add to their rock n roll style with Lord Zion had flags on tied round his microphone stand, Stevie wearing a Slash style hat, Wank Sinatra was wearing leather trouser, t-shirts and headband while Vikki was wearing a see through pink dress with black underwear and Vile remained topless throughout the set. Many have tried to be glam rock but I don’t think anyone I have seen had been able to achieve it as well as Spit Like This. Bringing along their Street Slutz, who stood at the front of the crowd singing along to every song added to a great set that kicked off the evening. Sure they were rock n roll but they are different, shocking and more importantly they are very good." - rockbeast.com

"SPIT LIKE THIS were quite possibly the most unbelievable band we've ever seen here at the Tek. Starting with the music this is rock n' roll. Good ol' glam, and rock n' roll n' rock n' roll n' rock n' roll n' rock n' roll n' rock. That's it: after years of pretenders trying to capture the raucous sounds of old school rock but coming away sounding empty, this band had it all. But what struck you was the sheer effort this band make with EVERYTHING: in appearance there was balloons, coffins, smoke, bubbles, all their tatts on display and dressed up, while playing the most fun rock you'll hear for a long time. And at the front was a REAL frontman dancing wide-eyed throughout looking about shaking his cloth covered mike stand between playing his guitar. This band had three guitarists which is rare and gave a blunting dirt attack while as said one was the singer and the other played keyboards adding so much. The bassist (herself who received a lot of attention) provided brilliant backing vocal as well while the drummer kept throwing surprises using his whole kit its hard to describe the experience of this band. But at the end of the day its rock n' roll, and for a split second, you wonder if they're one of the best in the world. No one does it like this anymore, they deserve to go far. Rocking" - Alan "Dukester" Hillsde www.dukester.uk2k.com

"Spit Like This isn't your typical glam/sleaze band. Sure they have the attitude and aggressiveness, but they aren't afraid to add rarely used sounds to the mix and step outside the genre's usual boundaries. The band claims to play "slutty music 4 slutty people", and that description works for me.

"Rebel Lover" is my favorite track on this three song EP. It is an up-tempo rocker with sophisticated lyrics and a horn section that is applied at all the right times - a very nice addition, and it fits the song perfectly. Vocalist Lord Zion has a very unique voice...

... All in all this is a short but sweet release, and you can hear it for yourself at www.spitlikethis.com. Besides, even if you don't like the music, you can at least spend some time drooling at pictures of bassist Vikki Spit - skid, sleazeroxx, "dragged kicking & screaming"

Bats, they’re bats – throw the Rocky Horror Picture Show at some kind of punk rock version of Meat Loaf’s Bat Out Of Hell, some fractured drum machine chaos, some Alien Sex Fiend, Johnny Cash and a healthy hint of wholesomely sleazy porno and you’ve got half an idea as to what is actually going on here – well you haven’t really, that gives you no idea  – filth, depravity, goths, citizen baiting punk rock theatre  - hey look, I don’t know what’s going on here but whatever it is it’s good and you need to find out more – you can go infiltrate their world right now – www.spitlikethis.com / www.smellyourmum.com" - organart.com

"what a following these London-ites have built up! Their fans, effectionately known as The Slutz madly follow these guys n girls about with such hardcore dedication! I believe there may be a bus load of Slutz coming up from London for the gig... This might give you and idea of just how good these guys actually are. Reports of some of the most outrageous stage shows on the London circuit are being passed around in hushed-tones - with their outrageous over the top style, neon coloured BC-Rich Warlock guitars, offensive clothing, the Slutz and arriving to every gig in a flame coloured hearse! Probably the most entertaining live band you'll see in a long while..." wildside

"i’m reviewing this because it’s the most recent of two fine ep's sent by these mental cases. their promo package is cuter, with an illustrated biog entitled ‘spit like this and the jizz-filled fantasies of a thousand perverts’ with the entertaining tale of how the band earned enough cash to accumulate sufficient gear to become fully workable by vikki selling her used knickers on e-bay.

don’t be frightened by the suggestion they make that we envisage them, before actual listening, as motley crue meets rocky horror show, as only the last part of that pairing is vaguely accurate. they have a sort of glam bop on offer in their opening track which reminds me of a certain antish ability to mix cool, funny lyrics with a guitar/drums assault, and then they go for a stark musical layer effect with ‘vindicated’ where it gets barbarically tense and toxic, only for the introduction of vocals to lessen the impact, and definitely sound metally in tone, before the song ends back with the gritty guitars. the ‘bitter’ song is disappointingly twee, and does have the ring of a musical about it, and then there is brutishly metal pop in ‘not dead yet’ with a scary big rock showstopping finale, unless you count the bonus track which is a chintzy burst of nothing.

the first ep has this same overall feel in that three songs are brilliant, and one sounds like it’s rock opera fare (‘i need a fix’) which is at odds with the fiercely modern rock they have created with reeks of character.

in fact it was the wonderful way they have a rhythm to the playful vocals in ‘asshole’ which immediately impresses. the lyrics are clever in themselves, but the way they ride atop the guitars is superb, as is the frantic stomp. they also gives us dawdling electric blues in ‘beaten road’ and imagine a fetish version of prime time human league and that’s ‘hooked on you’. the only feeble song is ‘fix’ because it is so obvious by comparison.

three fantastic songs per ep is a consistently high rate of exchange. you really will want to hear more." - mick mercer, starvox.net

"spit like this opened a great night with an amazing set. the music was energy driven with zion (singer/guitarist) strutting away with immense flair. the band is a five piece with guitar, guitar/keyboards, bass, drums and vox/guitar. the band exuded pleasure in their music and you could tell as vikki (bass) whipped zion with a leather whip during the set. the band seemed to bring their influences from early glam rock, it was rock but back to the old school where showmanship was everything to do with the music. pure energy drove the band as they pumped out one blistering track after another. the crowd were really enjoying it and even charlotte (photographer) yelled with glee 'i've taken too many pictures but they are just so good!' this sums up spit like this, a band that are extremely photographic but damn great on the music" - lyrically speaking, june 03, live review from the peel, kingston

"this is really sordid and sleazy in such a good way. these tracks are so well put together and produced. it reminds me a lot of the deep eynde but more vulgar! this is very unique and splendidly sick. it’s definitely exciting and interesting and that goes for the sound as well as the image...this is not everyday boring music. far from it" - no front teeth, june 03, 'the pop shot!' & 'anarchy for two'

"five tracks. trashy glitter rock 'n' roll is the order of the day here - "trust your instinct" meanders crassly along while a drawn out intro on "vindicated" leads to a jagged, filthy slice of pop rock. "to the bitter end" starts with pompous keyboards, and descends sinisterly into the decayed world these guys inhabit. "not dead yet" is the full on track - short, in yer face rock 'n' roll for sure, and a final, unlisted musical track of cheesy keys and quirky rythms serves as a fine outro to bring things to a close. pure trash - check 'em" - neon promotions, 'anarchy for two'

"another dose of glammy decadence from these brit media pranksters. comprised of two insular supermodels/evil geniuses-tattooed rock god z on vox, programming, guitars, and subterfuge, and pink haired lust queen vikki on bass and sex appeal - spit like this have half a dozen layers of irony and subtext floating around before you even crack open the cd. inside they cop manson's 'disposable teens' riff whole hog on opener 'trust your instincts' and somehow turn into a dreamy, jellyfish-styled glampop tune. metallica's 'battery' gets violated on "(i feel so) vindicated" (and if lars is reading, i'm just kidding), and once again, the bedeviled duo turn the metal riffs into playful powerpop. 'to the bitter end' is a new wave ballad, complete with swells of synthesizer and 80's goth rock drums, and "not dead yet" is a pop metal anthem balanced on the razor edge of a rambunctious drum machine. oh yeah, and there's a bonus, un-named new romantic track tacked on at the end. not bad for a band that got it's start by selling off it's bass player's used panties, right? watch these cats, they threaten to mutate into wild new shapes and sounds at any minute" - sleazegrinder, may 03, 'anarchy for two'

"freaks of musical nature spit like this return with a second ep which is equally as unclassifiable as their last offering...but then you wouldn't expect a man with 'fuck you' tattooed on his forearm to try and fit in...this has no place in any musical tradition carving a genre of it's own...i'm not sure there's been a term invented to fully classify this yet so for now we'll just stick with spit like this as the closest description!" - alison, bubblegum slut zine # 11, may 03, 'anarchy for two'

"got the cd’s yesterday. you’ve got an amazing voice, and the cd's kick ass. nice job! i’ll definately give you a plug" - vince wylde, talk radio dj, usa, may 03, 'the pop shot!' & 'anarchy for two'

"here we have a british two piece glam/goth band on the heels of marilyn manson, t-rex, and bowie. here's a cd for every straight guy that finds himself wearing a cape to the queen of the damned on opening night and for every girl toting around a purse shaped like a coffin.   these poor misunderstood will surely identify with the well- harmonized vocals of a mr. z and his hotter than hell female counterpart ms.vikki spit.  overall production is tight on this record, and acoustic guitars cut over the keys and drum sounds to give it more of a trashy album, better than most that I've heard from this genre. lyrically, it's not genius, but it's plenty rock and spooky. and yes, the hot girl on the cover had a lot to do with the positive spin i spun on this review, but honestly, i do read a fair amount of anne rice myself, and there must be a soundtrack to my late night obsession of sculpting fangs!" - candyforbadchildren.com, april 03, 'anarchy for two'

"spit like this are one of those uniquely british cultural glitter bombs, the neon offspring of sigue sigue sputnik and transvision vamp, who have pop art, shameless commerce, and nuclear war so mixed up that the line between who's selling who no longer matters. it's just an endless download of electric pleasures, like a swimming pool full of chocolate for a love-starved brain. as such, these are not songs, they are "pop shots", which are the same color and have the same effect as jello shots, only you don't need a fake id to get 'em. imagine dennis leary's "asshole" deconstructed by a glampop suicide. imagine ice cream cowboys clip clopping down the "beaten road" on the backs of cartoon horses. imagine missing persons and fields of the nephilim wrote a song called "hooked on you" together. then spin off in dizzying circles to the throb of a grinding sex ballad called "i need a fix". this is only the sonic wing of the spit like this empire, by the way. i'm pretty sure they're really some kind of love and terror cult!" - sleazegrinder, 'the pop shot!'

"finally, probably the strangest proposition on this page, spit like this play a type of music i really can't get a handle on at all. they obviously like punk, marilyn manson, 80s new romantic electro-pop and snot, and have managed to combine them into one glutinous whole, with decent enough results on their four-tracker the pop shot. if it were given human form, this here silver disc would have broken one of your windows, ordered a pizza and been sick on the cat before you even had it out of the packet; it's certainly distinctive and has a confident swagger about it, and their quality presentation indicates a high level of dedication and seriousness which is definitely to be admired... they're doing the whole thing themselves, though, being old and wise enough to be almost as curmudgeonly as yours truly and reject the sinister workings of the music industry. part of this self-motivating ethic seems to involve the production of bizarre fridge magnets, some of which I have been fortunate enough to receive; why anybody would want a fridge magnet depicting a raised middle finger with the caption "smell your mum", i can't even begin to imagine, though having said that, my girlfriend seized upon it with unseemly gusto and it remains, to this day, firmly attached to our refrigerator. maybe there's something she's not telling me. the pop shot, anyway, isn't strictly to my underground-headed tastes, but I certainly admire spit like this's balls (and sneering lyrical attacks on white-trash slobs!), and that vikki looks a bit of a sort!" - esoterica, 'the pop shot!'

this review was in italian but we've translated it in red...

"they arrive the spit like this, and you believe to me, a radical change to the music concept has been carried out! (got the spit like this ep and the music has a radical new sound) sounds of the sort could be only conceived from two crazy english: zion, mind and voice of the group and vikki, bassista and secret moglie of satana (vikki is the wife of satan and we're both mad). the slt are resolutions to fuse with the force of metal with the orecchiabili reasons pop, compressing in this already difficult connubio also punk industrial: an eccentric conception of rock, this is the final result (slt fuse metal with the melody of pop adding punk industrial). already from the first trace of the ep, the slt have made me to understand that soon they will take to soccer in culo all the rockettari failed ones with hats caschetto that their pathetic "creations" deal us for music (slt are going to soon be playing soccer stadiums and showing everyone else how pathetic they are). ep the part with "asshole", epico beginning in order then to deflagrate in a riff catastrophic (to 230 bpm!) worthy of best the jourgensen and barker (ministry, lard) (starts off with the epic sounding asshole which soon blows your fucking mind). but the surprise is hardly to the beginning, like not citing "hooked on you" with synth an arrogant pop ' 80 and "beaten road" from i march sapore blues, covered both from crude guitars. the ep their version of the "bohemian rhapsody" is concluded after all with "i need a fix" and the more complete piece (the rest of the tracks are also surprising and fucking awesome with i need a fix being the modern day bohemian rhapsody). a day to the bank of the seed they introduced the metallica one, the duran duran and the zz top; after taken care of a unskilled labor and a good job of mixaggio, first malcapitata it was put pregnant. in 2000 it give birth, today at a distance of two years that child has become a monster from the revolutionary sounds (in 2000 slt was born and, after two years, has become a revolutionary monster - hoorah!!)" - babylon, 'the pop shot!'
