Dear constant readers, less frequent viewers and newbies we have another delightful Christmas message for you. This time it is the turn of those angry, satanic queers from London, the Spit Sisters. After reviewing their latest single, “Sylvia” back in October I am definitely a fan. Check out the excellent video for “Sylvia” below too. Thanks to Covid driven social distancing it is Jaz giving a great message on behalf of her and the band. She even throws in a few lines from “Homo Christmas” which I believe was a Pansy Division song. I might be an old, white, straight bloke, but I know stuff like that!

Anyway while you are viewing the Chrimbo message from this marvellous band check them out on BandCamp. You can buy “Sylvia” and “Weak” by clicking here. Also if you are stuck on what to do for those last minute Christmas presents, why not buy a fabulous Spit Sisters logo patch, they look rather excellent (check out the picture above), just click here and buy one for your Gran or the Vicar!

“Sylvia” – Spit Sisters October 29, 2020

According to their Twitter blurb, Spit Sisters are “Satanic Queers from SE London”. Well I am straight not queer, and maybe closer to satanic than Christian, although not a full on Satanist, but I absolutely bloody love their new single, “Sylvia”. As soon as it began I had to immediately stop what I was doing, yes the goat sacrifice will have to wait……. oops that was a bit of a giveaway!

“Sylvia” is a gorgeous post punk ode to Sylvia Plath. It has magnificent melodies, roaring riffs, bombastic bass, dynamic drums and voluminous vocals. It is chock full of emotion, anger, smart lyrics and this is pretty much the perfect mix of what makes a great song in my opinion. I was reminded of Bis at times. But Spit Sisters are no copyists they are the real deal! I have a suspicion they will be awesome when playing live, and I hope that I get to experience a Spit Sisters gig in 2021.
