Spiderbait are an Australian rock band from Finley, New South Wales whose music pulls punk velocity, hard rock riffs, grunge fuzz, pop oddity, and playful experimentation into a distinctly unruly identity. Formed in 1989 by Janet English, Kram, and Damian Whitty, the trio carried a rural outsider energy into the Australian alternative boom, releasing records that could be noisy, goofy, heavy, catchy, and strange without feeling calculated. Albums such as The Unfinished Spanish Galleon of Finley Lake, Ivy and the Big Apples, Grand Slam, and Tonight Alright show a band comfortable jumping from thrash-like early punk bursts to radio-ready hooks and hard-driving rock. Their version of Black Betty became a major chart success, but Spiderbait's deeper appeal lies in the chemistry of the original trio and the refusal to choose one lane. They fit accepted scope through hard rock, punk rock roots, and alternative rock. Kram's drumming and vocals bring manic momentum, English's bass and voice add melodic contrast, and Whitty's guitar keeps the sound sharp. Spiderbait matter because they made Australian alternative rock feel loose, heavy, humorous, and unmistakably local, proving that weirdness and mass appeal did not have to cancel each other out.
Spiderpact craft avant-garde metal from the Finnish underground, pushing beyond conventional metal boundaries into experimental, web-spinning compositions. Formed in 2019, they bring arachnid ambition to the Finnish avant-garde scene.

The band released their debut full-length I in May 2017, a nine-track record with horror-themed subject matter, followed by Obituário in May 2020.
