Work
Spike Fuck's debut EP, The Smackwave EP, was released in 2016. The EP was re-released in 2019. She has described it as an impersonation of a washed-up middle aged rock star attempting a comeback in the 1960s or 1970s.
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".
In mid-2017, Spike released a country music single named "Suicide Party (Greatest Hits)". The track featured Graham "Evil" Lee of The Triffids. In August 2020, Spike then released "Kind Hearts"; a duet with Melbourne band The Slingers.
