Spike Fuck
Melbourne VIC, Australia
About
Spike F*ck is a singular voice in contemporary music—raw, literary, mythic. First emerging in the latter half of the 2010s with The Smackwave EP, a cult release that fused heroin balladry, confessional lyrics, and synth-laced, narcotic post-punk, Spike became a symbol of emotional extremity in Melbourne’s underground.
Then came silence.
After a three-year retreat from public life, Spike returned in 2024 with a slew of new material, a full band, and a renewed vision and accompanying intensity. No longer a solo act, Spike F*ck is now a tight-knit band, channeling the grandeur of ‘70s rock and roll excess who perform with a spiritual intensity.
The new work trades chaos for clarity, addiction for transformation—but keeps the same pathos. It’s music about recovery, community, life and death—delivered with the same unforgettable voice, once purified by time and isolation then redeemed by connection.
