| This
CD was our first ever commercial released, recorded for Indie label BUT!
Records and released in May 2005. Before release this EP hit
various charts, including # 1 on the Amazon Pre-Release CD Single Chart,
beating Oasis, U2 and the Foo Fighters!
The EP went on to do very
well only missing a place in the national charts due to it's format (too
many tracks). Still available in some shops, most online retailers
(ie Amazon) and to download from iTunes. If you buy it from us,
you can select to have it signed by me (Zion), Vikki Spit, Vile Gilez
and Cyndi Rott - just select from the pulldown and, if you want it
signed to you, let us know your name.
STOP!
BEFORE YOU BUY THIS CD, READ THIS!!!
Every track from this EP was re-mastered and included on our "SCARY
TALES" compilation CD, also available from this website! We would
encourage those new to the SPiT LiKE THiS Universe to buy "SCARY
TALES" as it has everything we released until 2006 - please only
buy this CD if you are a collector :).

“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!"

MAGAZiNE - 8 POWERPOINTS
“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

"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
