Dealing in the dark art of danger pop is a tricky business, and one that pays in quarterly installments of wadded up one dollar bills.
There's a grey area somewhere between accessibility and feedback, between melody and a mess. Spidermums have drawn maps of that place, full of sea monsters and mermaids.
They cuddle up together for warmth there, waiting for the ice age of corporate rock, noise metal, and kiddie pop to pass, as george harrison has promised it will.
Spidermums pass time playing feedback drenched melodic guitar rock in their cave: located in the central section of the united states, conveniently out of the reach of hipster trend makers.
