Die Spitz, BOSHTX [patio]

Now that the dust of their ground Teeth has settled, three April singles suggest Die Spitz has moved beyond their 2023 debut’s thrashing punk in favor of slower, sludgier metal. Ava Schrobilgen rips a throaty near-incomprehensible roar in towering “i hate when GIRLS die,” though her heartbreak’s more palpable in melancholy “My Hot Piss.” Breaking further, Chloe Andrews plays acoustic on ominous “Little Flame,” crooning, “I want another body.” The grisly quartet plays the Vegas patio Saturday alongside hardcore favorites Bosh; after the gig, Andrews and guitarist Ellie Livingston celebrate their birthdays with a Rocky Horror-themed party in the venue’s indoors. – Carys Anderson
