Kate Halter: Die Spitz live at The Electric Ballroom Camden London


Reviewers have categorized Die Spitz's music as grunge, heavy metal and punk rock. The band have disputed their categorization as punk due to their focus on melody and composition, and their interests in a wide variety of genres.The band lists influences ranging from heavy metal to pop-punk to grunge. They have cited specific influences including Title Fight, Fleshwater, Deftones, Mudhoney, PJ Harvey, Nirvana, Veruca Salt,Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden.Stereogum writer Brad Sanders put them among his "New Heavy Metal Movie Canon" stating that "Sometimes Die Spitz sound like Megadeth or High On Fire; sometimes they sound like L7 or Babes In Toyland or Tool or Soundgarden. Often, they sound like a combination of all the above."

Their lyrics are informed by political activism,[19] leading some journalists to draw comparisons with the 1990s riot grrl movement. The Fader has described the band's lyrics as "a wrecking ball against oppression and the tyranny of dark forces that suppress others."[9]
Paste magazine has praised Die Spitz as "the real, explosive deal, unleashing some of the best rock and roll that Gen Z has to offer." Spin has called the band "one of the most riotous new live bands on the planet
