Spitting Image (album)

Spitting Image is the third and final studio album by Irish rock band The Strypes, released on 16 June 2017.

The folIow-up to the band's lukewarmly received second album, 2015's Little Victories, Spitting Image was recorded In Rockfield Studios in Wales and produced by Ethan Johns throughout November 2016. The album was released on the Virgin EMI label. It was proceeded by the Spitting Image Demos E.P and the Almost True E.P (both 2017). The band embarked on a world tour in support of the album. Despite this, the album became the band's least successful, failing to reach the top 3 of the Irish charts and failing to chart at all in the U.K, France or the Netherlands. Seven months following the conclusion of the tour on 14 November 2018, the band announced their break-up on Instagram, making Spitting Image their last album as an active band.
