**Raw Spit** (2008-2088) was an Australian alternative band, best known for their controversial victory concert in 2010, and spearheading the resistance movement against Pzarty I. The band has become one of the most recognisable names of the 21st century, and are globally renowned for their signature style, which pioneered the Spit Metal subgenre. The original lineup was fully succeeded by new members in 2068, becoming the first band to practice the controversial chainlining phenomenon.

## History

### **Formation & Battle of the Bands (2008-2010)**

Before Raw Spit definitively formed, the members of the band performed with a variety of other musicians during Alternatives Anonymous meetings. The band was first established when founding members Ethan Vector, Jason Jameson, and Misha Petrukki begun searching for a more permanent project. Having already established good relationships with drummer, David Ray-Kinnard and vocalist, Stephanie Cooper, the band was formed in early 2008. It wasn't until resident rapper, Brianna Fronzsnop, insisted she be allowed to join that the name Raw Spit surfaced.

At Vector's suggestion to enter the 2009 Battle of the Bands competition, Raw Spit relocated from their hometown of Dullville to Redwater to compete. They performed a collection of songs over the course of three heats, and though were called into question of legitimacy due instances of operating within the grey valley, won the competition by a large margin. Their much publicised victory concert took advantage of the live coverage and saw the performance of outlawed alternative music composed by the band. This victory concert is largely credited for the origins of the Resistance, as well as other forms of rebellion against the Pzar.

### ***To Be Announced* & The Resistance (2011-2012)**

In wake of the impact left by their victory concert, Raw Spit were declared wanted criminals for breach of the second Pzarty decree. They moved from town to town to avoid law enforcement, and spent 10 months in Bobo Beach Bay where they wrote new material before returning to Dullville in 2012. Upon rejoining Alternatives Anonymous, support for a counter movement against the Pzar's decrees grew, and Raw Spit were quickly pushed to the forefront to lead a rebellion. What resulted was the Resistance, which had become a fast-growing staple in the local alternative community by the end of the year.

Raw Spit's debut album, *To Be Announced*, was released in October 2012. Due to the restrictions on alternative music, the album was an independent release, without promotion or marketing, and was prevented from charting. However, in wake of the much publicised victory concert, Raw Spit's name had begun to become an icon of resistance even to those outside of Blacktown. By December the album had been uploaded to Phantom Leaks, and had become the number one of most downloaded release of the year by the end of the month.

## Controversies

### **Chainlining**

(Note: Due to Raw Spit's fundamental involvement with the administration and management of the Resistance, much of the band's controversies and the organisation's controversies have had connected adverse effect on one another.)
