Artist description TORMENTED THEMES of pain, isolation, and anger carry throughout the band's tumultuous lyrics and are emphasized in its heavy music. The single from VIG titled "Digits" has gotten the band a lot of attention and has appeared on several compilations, including San Francisco radio station LIVE 105's first Local Lounge disc. With its angry guitars, fluid synths, gruff vocals, and demented lyrics--"You, passionless little mess/ I must confess that I caused your death/ Save the world, kill yourself/ Do it myself," that later fall into the brutal chorus "Anger/ Violence/ Sex"--"Digits" is just one of many Spitkiss songs that worm their way into your consciousness. -Sarah Quelland, 01/2000, Metro Newspapers
