Bursting on to the scene with razor sharp guitars, infectious melodies and low-slung bass, LickSpittle are a British band rippling with energy and an unclassifiable fresh sound.
Formed by Kid Kudos and Jimmy Suds ten years after a chance first meeting, a shared love of Hallowe’en, 90s grunge and quirky electronica meant most were expecting something a little ‘different’ when LickSpittle arrived in 2011.
What emerged was surprisingly accessible, punchy and lean – a pared-down, stripped-out, laidback sound from the sleazy back-alleys and side streets of London, frequented by the drifters, B-girls, trigger-men and short-con arists of the underworld.
This is music that lets the groove carry the track; already building LickSpittle a cult following and quickly turning the heads of those looking for something a little different.
After three hugely successful singles (with their second single ‘Lush Hound’ reaching Number One in the 975 Play FM Top 20 Countdown in Palembang, Indonesia) the touch paper has been lit – and debut album ‘Jimmy & The Kid’ is set for release in summer 2012.
