The Spits are an enigmatic, lo-fi punk rock band whose aura and sound hark back to the raw edge and unapologetic grunge of the late '70s and early '80s punk scene. Emerging from Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1993, the group was founded by brothers Sean Wood (vocals, guitar) and Erin Wood (bass), who later teamed up with drummer Wayne Draves. Known for their gritty riffs, simplistic, catchy melodies, and a pervasive sense of humor that borders on the theatrical, the band has developed a cult following over the years.

Their discography is a testament to their dedication to maintaining an underground ethos. True to punk form, they've titled multiple albums simply "The Spits," an esoteric move that reinforces their non-conformist attitude. Albums such as "19 Million A.C." and "Vol. IV" showcase their ability to blend punk, garage rock, and even synthesizer-driven sounds into a raucous, yet strangely cohesive sonic experience. Notorious for their fierce DIY approach and raucous live shows, The Spits have churned out their music steadily, with releases like "Kill the Kool" and their more recent "VI" continuing to cement their legacy as unpretentious torchbearers of the genre's gritty roots.
