Spiderbait are a mainstay of the Australian alternative rock scene, a leading band in the late 90s & early 00s heyday, alongside contemporaries Grinspoon, Powderfinger & Silverchair. In a way, Spiderbait could be seen as a more experimental, energetic and frenetic band than their peers, playing a blend of punk rock, metal, funk and alternative with a level of slapstick humour at times. Grooving, thick basslines underscore funk riffs, with smooth jazz drumming interludes with beautiful flamenco guitar, that explode out into a grungy, thick, fuzz rock jaunt. Featuring two vocalists, Spiderbait make the most of blending gruff attitude with a femme punk energy. The Unfinished Spanish Galleon is a delightful, and refreshing slab of alternative rock.
