| At
the beginning of 2006, we wanted to record an album. But we didn't
have any money so we hit upon a brain wave - let's put everyting we ever
recorded onto one CD and release it as a compilation. For a
start, the money it generates can go toward our debut studio album (recorded
June - Sept 2007, due for release in 2008) and, secondly, it offers great value for money to anyone who
wants to get into SPiT LiKE THiS - instead of buying 4 seperate EP's,
they get everything in one place!
So, the CD was duely
released in March of 2006 and is still available in many shops, online
at places like Amazon and to download from iTunes. We decided to
list it here as well to offer you the chance to have it signed by me
(Zion), Vikki Spit, Vile Gilez and Cyndi Rott. Just select from
the pulldown below. If you want it signed to you then let us know
your name.

'"SPiT
LiKE THiS are riding the crest of a lovejuice wave... they add a
blistering contemprary spin to the classic sleaze rock formula!"
BiZARRE MAGAZiNE, Jan 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 CD. The CD
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!
POWERPLAY
MAGAZiNE - 8 POWERPOINTS
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
