Spitting Image is the third and final studio album by Irish rock band The Strypes, released on 16 June 2017.[1]

The folIow-up to the band's lukewarmly received second album, 2015's Little Victories,[2] Spitting Image was recorded In Rockfield Studios in Wales and produced by Ethan Johns throughout November 2016.[3] The album was released on the Virgin EMI label. It was preceded by the Spitting Image Demos E.P and the Almost True E.P (both 2017).[4] The band embarked on a world tour in support of the album.[4] Despite this, the album became the band's least successful, failing to reach the top 3 of the Irish charts[5] and failing to chart at all in the U.K,[6] France[7] or the Netherlands.[8] 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.[9]
