Spike Fuck (sometimes stylised as SPIKE FCUK & SPIKE F*CK) is an artist and musician from Melbourne, Australia.
Growing up in Melbourne, Australia, she began performing as Spike Fuck in 2015.[1]
Her work draws primarily from her experience as a recovering addict and her struggle with gender dysphoria. She describes her musical style as "smackwave": a genre combining elements of new wave, post-punk and country music.[1] She cites Roky Erickson and Scott Walker as important influences.[2]
In 2019, she signed to Partisan Records[3] and announced her plan to begin work on her first full-length release, BellaDonna DeathTrip
Spike Fuck's debut EP, The Smackwave EP, was released in 2016.[4] The EP was re-released in 2019.[4] She has described it as an impersonation of a washed-up middle aged rock star attempting a comeback in the 1960s or 1970s.[5]
In 2019, she released the single "Body by Crystal"; describing the song as an "over-produced pop-punk sound, like End of the Century-era Ramones".[4]
In mid-2017, Spike released a country music single named "Suicide Party (Greatest Hits)".[6] The track featured Graham "Evil" Lee of The Triffids.[7] In August 2020, Spike then released "Kind Hearts"; a duet with Melbourne band The Slingers.[8]
