Manta Ray 05:43
Manta Ray Fear brace with me I am your guide for the story Watch under tracks under ground I am there Dream on your feet Climb the rocks on the bull's dog Fate fade to me turn around I am there And you laugh about it Time is gone Try to head around it Tail is gone We find out the question I already know Up tide to break a statement You don't have to go My friends the ones inside me they start to fade When Manta Ray outside the ocean there not here to play Run home again tell the friend I am back here Grow like the grass of the lawn with no sun Feet touch the blades of the green unknown pleasures On under waves under threat now there spawn And you laugh about it Time is gone Try to head around it Tail is gone Big eyes and the question I already know You talk hold back the answer it's time to go My ma she read the paper she's got the news When Manta Ray's outside the ocean, we're born to lose Feel lay the king down on the road around the corner Still be safe with me on mountain tops when the water floods the town Cities asleep above their streets without the ego Stay through the trees summer heads when the water floods the town

1000 Xs 04:23
1000Xs I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be where you are not I wanna see I wanna see I wanna see where we got caught Keep sucking me in keep sucking me in keep sucking me in nose growing Keep shelter it in keep trucking it in keep walking it in You came from far away but you always know That wrong world you saved said you already know Said you're already gone Says you're already gone 1000 words 1000 times I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be respectable You wanna be you wanna be you wanna be a receptacle Keep shelter it in keep shelter it in keep shelter it in spud sowing No time but this no time but this no time but this let's blow it Bonds are formed The master clown He's gonna push your back up against the wall The sordid miles we range but you stick like glue Where is the world you saved Said it's already gone said it's already blown said it's already blown 1000 worlds 1000 lies

Pressure Fish Fade away turn Your Back Looking down you're heart was scratched Feeling up Feeling down Running on and on On and on Somebody once told me that I Should not have trusted in you Break your chains Fled the pack The only world you've known is gone The pressure fish are on the wave Don't make a sound Don't make a sound I told you they would play It might be so Makes no difference You might be a clone Makes no difference It might be a sin I did it anyway It might be a sin but I loved you anyway, come on It’s so far and fallen Falling out of your mind Tie yourself up to the chair again Take you on down the line Going down Go down Go down Going down Down down down It might be a sin I did it anyway It might be a sin But I loved you anyway Falling in circles The rounds Running dark my heart is running all Running dark my heart is running all My heart is running raw My heart is running cold Running dark Running dark of love My heart is running all Running Out Running out of love

Spit Blood 03:02
Spit Blood Now I false create it you wanna give me a chance No one else has half heart feels down the talk of dance No one ever takes it they'd rather give you the squeal No one else quite understands half of what is real I will get by oh spit blood spit blood Say it to my face hold back hold me back hold it back You say you love your freedom take another drag There's something in your cigarette that caused your mind to lag So much consecrated life is a chosen road Run the patterns in a row make you understand I will get by oh spit blood spit blood Say it to my face hold back hold back hold back

Falling Up 04:42
Falling Up Had another dream The one with you inside Makes me wanna say, oh no Walk awhile with me Feet deep in the grass We are running free, ya Not gonna go it alone, ya One more dance with me with perfect harmony Face the final bell The world has gone to hell The back of what you see resembles irony Face the final straw cause this is falling up Talk dirty to me When you feel it inside Dumb blind you can't see The ground coming up to your feet Pulling at the seams Try and rip them wide Diving into you deep oh Not gonna go it alone, ya Come on back again we'll get you in the end Heed that final call this is not my fault When time comes crashing in hang on to your friends You are not alone but this is not a home One more chance you see the perfect harmony There's no one here like me there is no one here alike But if you go away get the tattoo of the day Hear that final call cause this is falling Tell me what you see in vivid clarity Take tiger by the tail a look beyond the veil When status has become your sadness on the run Stand on the last rung 'cause this is falling up

UnderTow 06:56
Undertow Hey, you're all alone again Without faith without the sun Why are you so low? Live in fear they got the gun I'm right here stay gold watch your speed The time time is near Bacchanal the Rites of Spring Watch me as I fall Silent tears traded for a chance to see Watch me as I fall Grind your gears hit the wall and draw your shade You watch me as I fall you watch me as I crash you watch me as I crawl you watch me as I crawl So far you've come to hear and asked me what's the secret about love So far and oh so near I want to check your story about it all Angel of the underground going down down down Angel of the underground going down down down Angel of the underground going down down down Angel of the underground going down down down I kiss your golden halo You took my education I walked you through the garden you took my fascination Angel of the underground going down down down Angel of the underground going down down down Angel of the underground going down down down Angel of the underground going down down down I kiss your golden profits and you look like you could be famous Angel of the underground going down down down Angel of the underground going down down down Angel of the underground going down down down Angel of the underground going down down down

about

Alright Spider is a four piece group (drums, bass, guitar, vox) and recorded the music heard on Demonstration over the course of 2 sessions live at Jim Schwartz's Drop Beats Not Bombs studio in Westside Costa Mesa.

The goal was to GET THE DRUMS but we also managed to get a lot of the bass and some guitar. We had two or three follow up sessions to overdub guitar and beef up the bass. The vocals were recorded over two sessions and there are a couple blips of analog synth (Crumar DS2) on Falling Up and a subtle hand played sequence (Kawai SX-210) tucked on Pressure Fish.

We then sent to the tracks to Zona Sound and let Jerry Andrews have his way with the mix. His ear and attention to detail led to us re tracking a couple of guitars and vocals. The process took 8 months for 6 songs but it was worth the wait.

Once we had the finished songs, we shopped around a bit before deciding to press 500 records ourselves through Erika Records.

Our sound has been compared to everything from The Cult, Killing Joke, Billy Idol, Sisters of Mercy, The Pixies, Nirvana and a few others. Seems like everyone hears something different. The live shows inspire a lot of dancing and fun.
