I’m not sure why UK flash rock culture-vulture enclave Spit Like This don’t release whole albums, instead of singles and EPs all the time, but really, that’s none of my business. It’s probably all part of some top-secret Sigue Sigue Superplan. But this 3 songer LOOKS enough like a stand alone LP that I’m just going to pretend it is. First thing that’s different this time around is that the Spit Like This are no longer a dastardly duo – founding freaks Lord Zion and Vikki Spit are now joined by a trio of like-named (Wank Sinatra, Vile Gilez, Stevie Lee) cyber warriors in glow in the dark smoking jackets and Apache warpaint. Says here they play stuff too, but since Zion has been known to conduct cyborg symphonies by himself in his bedroom, that could be a ruse. Anyway, the 5 man glam-gang offer up three tracks of gooey glitter rock here, brash and brassy and catchier than the crosstown bus at quitting time. Soundwise, divide Desolation Boulevard era Sweet with “Electric Barbarella” era Duran Duran, multiply by Doctor and the Medics, toss in a liberal dose of that fairy dust that strippers wear, and you’ve nailed the b-movie disco massacre scene soundtrack that is Spit Like This. “Rebel Lover” is the most neon number on deck here, but all three will have you turning Japanese in no time. __________________________________________________
