Playing unsigned bands from around the globe. Even some bands signed to independent/DIY labels. Leave us your comments.

The band – who consist of; Pete ‘Spider’ Spiby (vocals and guitar), Ozzy ‘Owl’ Lister (guitar) Mark ‘Dark Shark’ Thomas (guitar) Tiger Si (drums) and Adam ‘the Fox’ Irwin (bass) have spent the last two years playing for audiences across the UK and mainland Europe.

With friends such as Airbourne, Supersuckers, the Datsuns, Stone Gods and Wildhearts among others plus the wowing of festival crowds including Download, Sonipshere, High Voltage, Bloodstock and iTunes Festivals in the UK alone.

iTunes, of course, was very special as the band were chosen by none other than Ozzy Osbourne to open for him at the Roundhouse. Ozzy was so impressed he
then offered the Spiders a slot on the UK leg of Ozzfest at the O2 Arena.

With acclaimed ep’s No Goats In The Omen and Cinco Hombres (Diez Cojones) preceding the album release they’ve been winning a lot of friends and influencing a lot of people in the build up to the album release, with features and sterling reviews across the board. But don’t take our word for it…

"Destined to become one of 2011's must haves" said Classic Rock Magazine. "A tireless masterpiece that rocks from front to back" and "9/10" say Metal Hammer. 'Black Spiders are pure genius" said the one and only Duff McKagan off Guns N Roses. 5/5 said Big Cheese; "the true sound of rock n' roll in 2011". Rock Sound Magazine proclaimed; "their apocalyptic three-man axe assault is aweinspiring". Kerrang even gave its readers a fright with a poster and shouted about how “this Sheffield based quintet have managed to harness the powers of Angus Young and priapic death punks Turbonegro and distill it into a brew fit for Odin himself”.

While the broadcast airwaves have been virtually saturated with their brand "medieval biker rock" (Rock Sound, again...). BBC Radio1 Rock show and the Xfm Rock show have had them in for sessions and stations from Planet Rock to BBC 6Music, Rock Radio and beyond have championed their sounds - with the likes of SCUZZ TV, NME TV, Kerrang TV play listing their videos including:

Our debut E.P, Sunrise, will be released on 1st July 2016.
Tracks from that release and some works in progress will make their way to here as and when...

Drummer for a stoner metal band in the early stages of gigging and loving every minute. Have influences from all over but my heart lays with metal/rock. Not really into mad double-pedal work as speed drumming ends up just sounding like noise. Like Orange Goblin, Motorhead, A Perfect Circle, Deftones etc... Also write my own music and lyrics, which can be challenging, but oh so satisfying.
