Spike Fuck (sometimes stylised as SPIKE FCUK & SPIKE F*CK) is an artist and musician from Melbourne, Australia.[1]
Overview
Spike Fuck grew up in Melbourne, Australia. She used heroin and other drugs for several years and was subsequently dependent on methadone for more than three years.[2] She began performing under the Spike Fuck moniker in 2015.[1]
Her work draws primarily from her experience as a recovering heroin addict, her struggle with gender dysphoria,[1] and her faith as a Catholic.[2] She describes her music as "smackwave", drawing on the slang term for heroin and referring to a style influenced by new wave and post-punk, as well as country music.[3][1] She has cited Roky Erickson and Scott Walker as influences.[4]
In 2019 she signed to Partisan Records.[5] As of 2019, she was preparing to move to London and had begun work on her debut full-length album; tentatively titled BellaDonna DeathTrip[3]
Work
Spike Fuck's debut EP, The Smackwave EP, was released in 2016.[3] The EP was re-released in 2019.[3] She has described it as an impersonation of a washed-up middle aged rock star attempting a comeback in the 1960s or 1970s.[2]
In 2019 she released the single "Body by Crystal", in which she details a mental breakdown, and its subsequent resolution in a “rebirth of sorts”. She described the song as being characterised by an "over-produced pop-punk sound, like End of the Century-era Ramones".[3]
In mid-2017, Spike unexpectedly began to make country music, releasing "Suicide Party (Greatest Hits)".[6] The track featured Graham "Evil" Lee; the pedal-steel guitar player from the 1980s Australian band, The Triffids.[7] In August 2020, following on from this foray into country music, Spike released the track "Kind Hearts"; a duet with local Melbourne band, The Slingers.[8]
