<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nSheffield-based hard rockers Black Spiders are ready to catch us all in their biggest web yet. It\u2019s a big sticky one called \u2018Can’t Die, Won’t Die\u2019<\/em>, and it\u2019s guaranteed to get the party swinging. (That\u2019s enough spider references…or is it?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve heard Black Spiders before then you know what to expect from this latest release and you won\u2019t be disappointed. The band’s influences are obvious, and you can hear elements of them all here. Thin Lizzy, AC\/DC, Kiss, and even a touch of grunge creeps into the band’s sound. The band are very capable musicians and put in some stellar performances here. Good production values also make the album a (mostly) enjoyable listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The album kicks off with a lengthy intro before we are thrown headfirst into \u2018Hot Wheels\u2019, <\/em>a mid-paced head nodder with an annoyingly catchy chorus. Next up \u2018Driving My Rooster\u2019<\/em> (fnarr fnarr) is a full-on barnstormer with some Lizzyesque twin guitar motifs. \u00a0\u2018Destroyer\u2019 <\/em>is a shameless tribute to Kiss. Lead single \u2018Alright, Alright, Alright\u2019<\/em> (a nod to Hollywood actor Matthew McConaughey\u2019s famous catchphrase) is a fun romp with some chunky, stabbing riffage. \u2018Traitor\u2019s Walk<\/em>\u2019 is another straight-ahead rocker with more fine guitar work. The album does begin to trail off a little at this stage, \u2018It Is What It Is’ <\/em>drifts into generic hard rock territory. \u2018Strange\u2019<\/em> is another throw away track with no real hooks to speak of. The band do manage to pull it back with \u2018Another Weekend\u2019<\/em> which has a cool swaggering riff. \u2018Make Me Bleed\u2019<\/em> has an extremely catchy chorus and more chugging riffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
