In 2020, just before the first lockdown of Covid appeared on the horizon. ESA and Moaan Exis played a show together in Prague, Czech Republic.
That encounter resulted in a silent agreement that one day. We do this.
Fast forward 3.5 years and the schedules finally aligned enough to create something that we all felt deserved to actually live.
We wanted to make sure that whatever we put together felt like a 50/50 split. Like ESA ingested Moaan Exis or Moaan Exis injected ESA. We wanted to make sure that fans of both bands were able to feel exactly what a merging of these projects would sound like.
‘Spit & Spite’ is a double A-side of absolute power. ESA’s hooked up rolling rhythms combined with Moaan Exis’ punk like industrial energy. Moaan Exis’s snarling basslines combined with ESA’s pummelling percussion. It's all there and in its purest form.
We hope that mutual fans of both bands will enjoy the punk power industrial sparring match between Jamie (ESA) and Mathieu (Moaan Exis).

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved Callum Gray
Leeb + Fulber + Watts is maybe one of the most perfect combinations of industrial artists that I can think of. So damn good, it's almost too much to take.
