SLEAZE SELLS...BUT WHO'S BUYiNG? OUT NOW!!

REViEWZ & TESTiMONiALZ ON "SLEAZE SELLS...BUT WHO'S BUYiNG?"

RECORD OF THE WEEK! "Ah yes, back on track and wired and weird and sleazed up, like The Rocky Horror Picture Show going all the way and then some more, wear what they tell you and do it now. Their first ‘proper’ single, they already have a massive following and a million ‘offensive’ t-shirts out there – the last demo hinted at compromise, none of that here, they’ve seen the error of their ways. Think Adam Ant, The Godamn Whores, T-Rex, Motley Crue, early Twisted Sister (when they were still a punked up shock rock band right back at the start). PVC nurses uniforms, boys in high heels like new york dolls, think sleaze and porn and wholesome things like that – total trash rock, ridiculously shaped guitars, raw raw operatic rocky horror trash rock - chav baiting, fetish strutting, over the top sleaze….. the kind of band that your parents worry about, a band to throw your underwear at - ban this filth now…" organart.com (issue 118, may 12th '05)

“Lets get the bands name out there!” scream management companies across the world, “all we need is promotion” and “let’s get you guys on the map”. All very clichéd but ultimately true, and nothing sells like having a band of renegade rock ‘n’ rollers willing to shock rock the world into submission. Enter stage right, Spit Like This and their first nationally distributed EP ‘Sleaze Sells…But Who’s Buying?’

‘Trick Or Mistreat’ opens the album in a full burlesque theatre manner. Its Rocky Horror Picture Show meets glam rock as frontman Lord Zion takes the tune through chorus and verse with a perverse campness that is still filled with enough testosterone to probably make the boys and the girls swoon. An opening highlight indeed as the CD starts with the start-stop drums of ‘Trust Your Instincts’.

Opening on the lyric ‘Selling your used panties on Ebay may not be the best way to make a living…’ demonstrates the type of band we are ultimately dealing with here. In terms of song, it doesn’t stand up to the desire of the opener but holds enough power to keep the SLT party rolling along nicely.

‘Dragged Kicking And Screaming’ starts on almost childlike mimic tune as Zion fanfares the chorus. Over killer drums and a nice bit of guitar work the tune leads us into an old rock ‘n’ roll beat, a la the 1960s, which just adds to the eclectic influences on the EP. Closer ‘Gay Man’ is a joint highlight as it hails itself as one of the first anti-chav songs. Snarling instruments and biting vocals mixing anger with groove and melody. Another staple Spit Like This number.

Four songs over and its time to put the ‘Sleaze Sells…’ EP to bed. A first mainstream effort for a band who have the balls to take the scene by the scruff of his neck and kick it into a world where camp can be king and all the rock stars still get to go home and screw whatever and whoever they like. Ok, it isn’t Motley Crue, it isn’t Led Zeppelin but it is sleazy sexy rock. One thing is true, if this band gets their way then soon the rock market will be talking like this, walking like this, loving like this, fucking like this and ultimately spitting like this as well.

"SPiT LiKE THiS - Sleaze Sells...But Who's Buying? - Lord Zion and his 5 pronged attack of muscians release an EP that FINALLY truly displays the attitude of SPiT LiKE THiS. On this CD you get glammy, sleazy, and downright dirty music that makes The Darkness look like small timers. Lord Zion's vocals soar and remind you of happier days when Axl Rose wrote such masterpieces as "Rocket Queen". On this new CD you get to hear the drumming sourcery of Vile Gilez along with the pure shredding abilty of the resident ladies man, Stevie Lee. This isn't deep thoughtful metal, this is in-your-face, we-like-sex-and-booze-and-how-do-you-like-that rock reminscent of bands such as G'N'R but like nothing you've ever heard. Tracks of note are "Trick Or Mistreat" and my personal favorite, "Trust Your Instincts". If
you have a pace maker, don't buy this CD." vince wylde, usa rock dj

"'No one makes music like we do anymore!' enthuses SLT singer Lord Zion. And as much as that may seem like a bold brash statement, it's also very true! This four track EP is a unique and radio friendly debut that sees songs coated in safe sex, drugs and old school rock and roll. This is as close to the latter as a radio listener will get to hear before the 9pm watershed. Stand out track 'Trick or Mistreat' is a very Rocky Horroresque number which caputres all the essence of a cheesy sexual parody. All laced, feather boa and leather fuelled with overly contagious sing along choruses. You must also see the accompanying video to believe just how wickedly captive it is! Also listed on the EP is Anti-Chav song 'Gay Man' which is a live favourite among their army of loyal SLuTz. So, in answer to the question ...Who's Buying? I'm Sold!! SLT are a band who would get into bed with everybody and anybody, with one goal, to affect and inject every human being on the planet with some outrageous sexually charged fun!!" devolution magazine (issue six, august 2005) "Sleaze Sells...But Who's Buying?" CD

"I finally got Sleaze Sells yesterday! I think the bastards forgot to ring me so i went in there. You've brainwashed me!! Even the download samples had me hooked but I've heard nothing like this before. There's a mix of bands in there but then there's an element that's totally new and unique... and fucking addictive!! You're a bunch of evil geniuses and it's great! You really have set out to take over the world and for that I salute you!"

"hi Zion you dont know me but...i justwant to say that gayman is the best fuckin song ever written. the lyrics mean something"

"Sleaze sells...but whos buying? is such a shit hot CD everyone needs to buy it now.."

"thank god for Spit Like This !!!! a bunch of rockers who believe in putting on a show,and a bloody good show. Music is catchy 80's style metal with a large dose of rocky horror irony and a modern catch.SLT give you your money's worth and more and I gaurantee you will be humming these tunes all day. I no longer have to yearn for the days of a real rock gig by a real rock band fronted by a rock god showman (poison, skid row, quireboys etc) cos these guys (and girl sorry vikki) have more than filled the void and I hope they lead the way to a huge wave of non sell out raw rock"

"omg i just got the EP and it rocks!! i cant switch it off u guyz have done a fuckin amazing job hope it gets a gd place in the charts so we can see it in asda and woolys lol my m8s love it i love it and gay man is so fucking true and dragged kicking and screaming has an amazing tune to it!"

"Hey man, your CD came today, and I listened to it over and over like 10 times, it rules I swear, you guys totally rock"

"This EP can only be described one way - fan-blumming-tastic! If you love the over the top theatrics of Kiss and Motley Crue you have to own this CD. The production, lyrics and music are quite simply superb, a huge step forward from their last single. If their album is going to be as good as this, I can't wait. They deserve an award!"

"The songs I've heard from this EP contain enough sleaze to kill Hugh Hefner, and certainly enough to make your Mum want to disown you. I suggest you order this before some MP tries to get it banned. Not because of the naughty content, but because it's too good for human ears!"

"u guys fuckin rule, talk about trashy... i really am gonna support you guys"

"I'm totally loving this new EP, thanks to yourself and the rest of the band."

"Hey... i bought ur cd 2day from amazon. Fuckn Rocks!!"

"You are like a breath of fresh air to the music scene, this is what Rock Music needed a serious kick up the ass."

"Oh my fuck!! This caused so much moistness I swear my eardrums ejaculated!!! Complete, unadulterated, sleaze-tastic brilliance!"

"Well I'm glad Royal Mail didn't cock up this delivery, the EP rocks (I especially love Gay Man). Hurry up and put out a full length album!"

"yo this is sooooooooooooooooo cool I am a Goth psycho beware chavs i will kill u all"

"Its fantastic...... I Love it...."

"The postie just delivered your new EP, its awesome!"

"I'm still partly speechless from the ep... It's amazing! Well Done!"

"100 out of 10...Thanks Spit Like This"

"Man I have to tell u what a song Gay Man is! Believe me man not only are the lyrics so true that I want to tell them to every chav in the world but the song is musical genius! I can't get my fucking head round it yet, it's sssoooooo fucking awesome!"

"Ohhh!!! this is fucking mind blowing..."

"I FUCKING love the video, it is awesome"

"I either need new specs or the cd is so good I am going blind listening to it!"
