“It’s like fornicating with Satan… On a boat.”

The Dandy Heathens

“How am I doing? I’m going to kill you, that’s how I’m doing.”

As a whole, Spider Cult is a trio-to-quartet with an aggressively rhythmic core and a melodic identity defined in one part by sweet blues, and in another by a brutal shriek of a dying animal.

Kameqo “Q” Carter

Serving as “front-man” of the band, Q seemingly has their musical roots planted firmly in the depths of hell. The bass in their borderline irresponsible clutches serves at once as a percussive core, and a bottomless hole of riffs. Q’s playing is a booming perpetual motion machine of groove, with vocals ranging from whimsically dark rhapsodies to the harsh bellowing of a pseudo-mythical creature.

Ryan Rogers

There is no short hand for describing the nuclear fiddle Ryan Rogers has chosen to wield. His electric violin has been transformed into an instrument of shred mere technicalities away from violating the Geneva Conventions. His playing soars high above the growling pulse of his rhythm section, the distorted notes moaning Hendrix’s name. With a sound so unexpected and commanding, he is known to turn the heads of anyone not paying attention, and drop the jaws of those who are.

Clay Shields

The devotion Clay Shields has to improving all art he comes into contact with is not to be understated. Under the tyranny of his fingers, the fretboard at his command is a versatile machine which can listlessly drone beautiful chords just as well as it can chop heavy riffs with aggressive downstrokes.
