evidence

Spike Fuck’s debut album and first release for Sacred Bones, evidence cuts across new wave, glam, alt-country and rock’n’roll with real force. It’s direct, emotional and intentionally hard to pin down.

For a decade, Spike Fuck has felt more like a myth than a conventional artist, with sporadic releases, rumours, addiction and survival all shaping the story. His lyrics stay timeless, wounded and confessional, balancing melancholy with humour in a way that feels lived-in and unvarnished.

On evidence, he draws from Pere Ubu, New York Dolls, The Temptations and Bettye Swan, mixing new wave, glam, soul and doo-wop. Highlights include Bored to Death, All By Myself, Sweet Release and Getting Sober, with shades of Suicide and a David Lynch film.

For fans of Big Star, Modern Lovers, The Gun Club, The Slingers, Gregor, A. Savage, Dougie Poole and Thorn Haze.
