Ones to watch - Spiders - (SHUlife)




Spiders are a three piece student band from Rotherham, and are by no means newcomers to Sheffield’s music scene.


Having already supported bands such as Joe Lean And The Jing, Jang, Jong, One Night Only and The Beggars, they’re also record holders at the Leadmill for the highest ticket sales from an unsigned band.


Spiders are sure to catch your attention with their punk roots and oh so catchy hooks – with punchy bass lines and catchy riffs found in songs such as ‘The Romance Of How Tragic This Is’, the boys’ hard work really becomes evident.


They’re not a band to be thrown in the trolley with all other indie bands, Spiders music has versatility, heart and meaning combined with a professional polished sound rarely found amongst new upcoming unsigned bands.


Their Lyrics poetically reflect everyday life in our northern city finding romance in amongst the concrete and sung by a vocalist with a voice somewhat reminiscent of Sheffield’s own Millburn.


Without a doubt, Spiders are heading in a clear direction and that’s right onto your playlist.


Catch their next gig at Plug on the 23rd Of September '11
