Austin-based four-piece Die Spitz are riding a wave of momentum following explosive performances at Coachella and major industry recognition, including being named a Spotify Artists to Watch for 2026. Now, the band have released a striking new video for “American Porn,” a standout track from their debut album Something to Consume, out now via Third Man Records.
The track arrives as a defining moment for the group, blending raw punk energy with a pointed message about sexism and objectification in the music industry.
A fierce critique of industry sexism
In a recent feature by Rolling Stone, “American Porn” was described as “a direct shot at sexist record industry insiders.” It’s a sentiment echoed by band member Eleanor Livingston, who calls the track “a very angry song.”
Livingston explains that the song is aimed at audiences who reduce the band to their appearance rather than their artistry. It’s a challenge to listeners: engage with the music beyond the surface, or reconsider why you’re watching in the first place.
This unapologetic stance is fast becoming a hallmark of Die Spitz’s identity.
‘Something to Consume’: Chaos, identity and connection
Their debut album, Something to Consume, channels themes of identity, friendship, and the pressures of modern life. While there’s a clear political undercurrent, the band also explores more personal territory—touching on love, addiction, and emotional intensity.
Die Spitz’s collaborative approach sets them apart. Members frequently swap instruments, share vocal duties, and co-write tracks, resulting in a sound that feels both chaotic and cohesive. The outcome is a visceral listening experience—one that invites fans into what the band describe as their own “pocket of the world.”
