Spider Rockets - Ever After
|
(Full album artwork with purchase of complete album)
Rock bands are increasingly pigeonholed into a slew of sub-categories but New Jersey’s Spider Rockets seems to mix many influences to form its own brew of hard hitting rock. The band melds the caustic with the otherworldly; singer Helena Cos’ vocals run the gamut from haunting to witchy, bitchy to sweeping and grating to seductive. Paired with guitarist Johnny Nap’s heavy metal roots, Spider Rockets weaves a web meshing traditional loud rock with a dark quirky element. The result is hard modern rock intertwining the grunge vox stylings of 7 Year Bitch with the radio rock sound of Velvet Revolver or Godsmack. Al Muzer from the Aquarian Weekly agreed with this assessment, by declaring "[Spider Rockets] continue to crank out the crunchiest, catchiest, most melodic, mean-riffed and caustic metal noize since L7 and Seven Year Bitch gave way to the likes of Sleater-Kinney."
Formed in New Jersey, Spider Rockets has shared the stage with some of rock’s most renowned names - Slash’s Snakepit, Glenn Hughes and Saigon Kick, among others – and have had no problem holding their own. And it’s not every day that a former member of Guns N’ Roses compliments your band, but that’s precisely what the group received from everyone’s top hat wearing guitarist, Slash, after witnessing a particularly hot set in the band’s home state of New Jersey.
