Spitboy blazed trails for feminist musicians in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond during their brief but impactful life, touring the United States, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. Releasing records on labels such as Ebullition, Allied Recordings, and Bay Area punk institution Lookout Records, they stood solitarily against what, at the time, was an almost entirely male-dominated sub culture of punk and hardcore. Formed in response to the homogenized masculinity of the late 1980's and early 1990s scene, their brash and abrasive style of music was paired equally with their confrontational live shows, and unwillingness to tolerate preconceived gender roles and social norms within the punk scene, and American society at large.
Lyrics:
You've got one foot in the punk scene
And one foot in the grave
Built by corporate record companies
As they steal your soul away
I shouldn't say stolen
Since your soul seems to have a price
And while you're laughing to the bank
We're the ones being penalized
So you step upon our heads
In your panic to succeed
I am sickened by your money lust
And all your fucked up greed
You've taken our underground
A movement straight and pure
Gave it the sickness of mainstream disease
With no hope for a cure
You think that we will weaken
With the damage you have done
But that's a lie
We will survive
Your hell has just begun
For you don't belong in the punk scene
But in your mainstream rock
This isn't the year that punk broke
But the year you broke punk
I want you to come on over to me
Stop straddling the fence
Because one day, you won't have anything to stand on
'cause someday we're gonna tell you to
FUCK OFF!
