\u201cSonically we pulled a lot from that 70s proto punk vibe, trying to find that happy medium of groovy, and also loud, and also fun\u201d guitarist Ethan Duck explained to\u00a0Far Out<\/em>\u00a0about the essence of the band and their upcoming UP. \u201cThere\u2019s loads of more modern examples too, we love Ty Segall, Fat Whites, The White Stripes, all of that more eery garage rock vibe, which has inevitably bled into the EP.\u201d<\/p>\n Way before their upcoming EP\u00a0Spider Rock Forever,<\/em>\u00a0their first record \u2018Fuzzy Features\u2019 was a window into the band\u2019s sonically precise but creatively weird world. Fittingly, the band trace the story of a warm hearted arachnid, which seems like an obscure launch point for a debut single, but upon hearing the sonic arrangement of the track, seems surprisingly and brilliantly on the nose.<\/p>\n Music had no idea that it was missing the soundtrack of a gentle spider, until The Family Battenberg delivered. While Eliot Jones\u2019 vocals fluctuate between a quiet hush and blood curdling screams, Ethan Duck\u2019s fuzz laden guitars prowl with menacing fun to create a truly captivating melodic footprint for the band, who on their discography, have proven that they can take the pastiche blueprint of\u00a0psychedelic 70s sensibilities\u00a0and make them something unique and captivating for the modern setting.<\/p>\n Now finally, this week, the band are now set to release their debut EP\u00a0Spider Rock Forever,\u00a0<\/em>which for those who have been luckily enough to bear witness to this band\u2019s steady rise, is long overdue. At 6 tracks long,\u00a0Spider Rock Forever\u00a0<\/em>embraces the band\u2019s subtle architecture of the arachnid world, and gives new fans an unfiltered taste of the band\u2019s true essence. Fuzz laden verses, that descend into chaotic chorus lines, all tightly woven together by the band\u2019s outrageously precise instrumentation.<\/p>\n \u201cAt its core Spider Rock Forever is just one big time capsule of our earlyish days as a band\u201d guitarist Ethan Duck explained to\u00a0Far Out.\u00a0<\/em>Adding, \u201cFinding our feet musically, and what making a DIY debut EP would look like as a band, but mainly mates. Hopefully you can expect to feel that in the songs. And if not, it\u2019s just 6 tracks of garage rock by a Welsh band who likes that kinda stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n You may think you\u2019ve heard a band like this before, but you haven\u2019t. Sure, they\u2019ve\u00a0pulled influences\u00a0from various places in the musical eco-system, but have repackaged it into something original. That originality can be outrightly consumed on this debut EP, but not celebrated. No, that joyous ceremony is reserved only for their live shows, which if you haven\u2019t yet been privy to, is something you need to rectify before the year is out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On the one hand, the internet has never made it easier to get music out there.
