Photos by Nolan McBride – Austin, Texas-based quartet Die Spitz have quickly become one of the exciting names emerging from the American alternative and punk-rock underground. Comprised of Ava Schrobilgen, Chloe de St. Aubin, Kate Moore and Ellie Livingston, the all-female band combines elements – of punk, grunge, noise rock and alternative metal into a raw, uncompromising sound. Known for their explosive live performances, distorted guitar riffs, pounding rhythms and commanding vocals, Die Spitz have built a reputation for delivering music that is as aggressive as it is infectious. Their approach draws from the spirit of classic alternative rock while bringing a youthful intensity and attitude to a new generation of rock fans.
The band’s profile reached another level in 2026 as Die Spitz took their music to major international stages, including Coachella, Primavera Sound, Download Festival, Hellfest and Copenhell. Their touring schedule also includes appearances at Kilby Block Party and Hinterland Festival, alongside extensive North American and European dates. Their debut full-length album, Something to Consume, released September 12, 2025, through Third Man Records, continues to provide the foundation for their growing international audience. Featuring 11 tracks, the record showcases their ability to move between aggressive hardcore, grunge-inspired melodies and heavy, experimental rock. Consequence Live+1
