Spider Rockets - Along Came A Spider (2018)

The heavy rock & rollin' Spider Rockets got their start in 1995, under the wings of Helena Cos and Johnny Nap. The New Jersey band gained a reputation for hard-rocking live shows and soon began releasing EPs and LPs (starting with Lift Off in 1996, Stage Two in 1998 and the self-titled Spider Rockets in 1999). Their next three releases (Flipped Off in 2000, the Preview EP in 2003, and Ever After in 2007) were helmed by studio heavy-hitter Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Swans, the Dresden Dolls) and all gained respectable amounts of airplay. Flipped Off debuted in CMJ's Top 20 radio adds and Ever After debuted in CMJ's Loud Rock adds. The band continues to perform live -- both in the States and abroad. ~ J. Scott McClintock.
