Spiderbaby: The Death of Spiderbay.

Fourpiece Spiderbaby are an interesting setup. A fairly new band playing the UK, "The Death of Spiderbaby" is their first EP, and at 8 Songs it is more like a mini album, coming with enhanced video and multimedia content too. Although not an obvious 'scene' band they have stuck their head above the Goth parapet, so let's take a look.

Now before I dive into the tracks you should be ware that there are two musical stakes which are always threating to destroy the glam-punk heart of Goth - Cheesey Industrial and Rawk / Metal. Spiderbaby could be accused of flirting with both of these, but I think they stay clear of falling in the embarressing mess that is most mainstream alleged 'Goth' music today. Sure they are by no means Deathrock or Batcave, if anything they are Glam, but they show a remarkable range.
