Press: Spit Jack Fact and/or fiction

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0800

Everything you are about to read concerning Vermont punk band Spit Jack is absolutely, 100 percent true. Well, most of it’s true. OK, at the very least, some of it is. Or, as Stephen Colbert might say, there is “truthiness” in every word that follows. Mostly. In the roughly 18 months since they formed in central Vermont, Spit Jack have earned a reputation as the state’s rowdiest band, and a fantastic mythology has sprung up around them. To wit, you may have heard they’ve been kicked out of every show they’ve ever played. What you may not know is that even in civilian life, they try to get booted from wherever they go: the library, grocery stores, a nephew’s bris. And yes, sometimes they go to the library. - Seven Days

"The tracks from ‘Whiskey Eyes’ were a mad mixture of both laid-back and hectic jams, with rapid drum-lines driving thrashing guitar riffs. While some semblance of inspirations, such as Motley Crüe and Black Flag, were evident, the group kept the songs fresh with serious and frequent pace changes, making for one rocking experience. However, as Mike Forester explained after the session, the inspiration is quite simple: “Basically, ‘can you ride fast to it?’” - BigHeavyworld.com

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800

Official album art is released! The 6 song EP Whiskey Eyes will be available on March 28th! Come and grab one at the release show at Metronome!

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800

And then Spit Jack took the stage. I’ve been curious about this newish local punk band since I started hearing the rumors about them getting kicked out of their own shows. That’s just the sort of over-the-top, rock-and-fucking-roll shenanigans that warm my snarky critic’s heart. The band exuded ragged, boozy swagger as it tore through two bruising punk anthems. The crowd, a healthy percentage of whom were adorned in Spit Jack trucker caps, went batty. I started wondering how many bonus points I could award if they got booted from this show. Then, just as SJ launched into their third slobbering snarl fest, the lights went out. Like, pitch black. As the emergency lighting came on, security began herding a confused crowd out the door. Spit Jack’s drummer, however, took the opportunity to unleash a solo. I loved it. Security, not so much, as it delayed the exodus outside. Then shit got really crazy. The mass of people gathered on the sidewalk in front of the club discovered that power had gone out for several blocks in either direction on Main Street. Spit Jack, it would seem, had rocked so hard they broke the power grid. - Seven Days

The Cop Outs and Spitjack had already been building their followings when they appeared together at the eagerly awaited grand reopening of a landmark commercial property little more than a year ago. It was well-attended. It was one of the best local rock shows this reporter has seen. - Stowe Today.com

Press: Band name of the week

Fri, 28 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0800

Band Name of the Week: Spit Jack. This local punk outfit is quickly gaining a rep as the baddest band in the land, having been kicked out of two Vermont venues in recent months for some unseemly behavior. Will they go for the hat trick when they play Manhattan Pizza & Pub in Burlington this Saturday, October 29? I have no idea. But it might be worth attending to find out. And if they are booted, at least two other solid bands are on the bill: Skulls, who describe themselves as “struggling against the current of good vibes and happy hippies” in Burlington with a simple message of “senseless violence and drunken debauchery,” and the Queen City’s sons of Death, Rough Francis, who reportedly have a full-length in the works for the new year. By the way, Spit Jack also have a new EP on deck, Whiskey Eyes, slated for a December release. If any bars will still have them at that point, they might even have a release show. Fingers crossed. - Seven Days

Band Name of the Week: Red Fang. This band is making a pit stop while on tour with metal legends Mastodon to throw down at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Tuesday, November 22. They’ll be joined by Spit Jack, recently tabbed in this column as the baddest local band in all the land for a disturbing/amusing tendency to get kicked out of their own shows. - Seven Days
