Spyderhuff is a swampy and psychedelic blues-rock band with deep Detroit roots stretching back to the 70s. But it’s not just the city’s famous car industry that influences their name—it’s about honouring the unsung heroes who make things run behind the scenes. The name “Spyderhuff” actually comes from Ed ‘Spider’ Huff, an electrical genius who worked with Henry Ford in the early days of the automotive industry. Just as Huff helped power the machines that moved the world, Spyderhuff’s music moves through a mix of genres including rock, blues, country, and jazz-fusion. They always seem to find new ways to twist and turn familiar sounds into something fresh.
NEW Spyderhuff EP!
The menu this time around is hot, greasy, and loud (with some surprises). Pull a chair up to the table and feast on some good Detroit supper time rock and roll! All five tunes are sprinkled with a seasoning of sarcasm and irony. Featuring SOMETIMES, RHA-WHO-DUM, MAKE FIRE, DON’T DO IT, and SADDLE UP.
"Sometimes (I Need To Do Something Bad) Is A Raw, Unfiltered Exploration Of Urgency, Rebellion, And Self-expression, Where Detroit Grit Meets Cathartic Rock Energy With Relentless Wit And Intensity."
- Daniel (Dulaxi Team)
"Together, Spyderhuff’s Sometimes (i need to do something bad) forms not a single statement, but a shifting portrait of the urges we don’t always name!"
- Rockera Magazine
SOMETIMES
"The title track of Sometimes, the new EP by Spyderhuff, bursts forward with bright, confident energy. The rhythm feels urgent, driven by a solid snare that cracks with satisfying punch."
- Edgar Allen Poets
RHA-WHO-DUM
"You get the sense that these kinds of declarations of war are issued merely to get your attention. But, just then, you run into the psychotic swamp-blues of “RHA-WHO-DUM (the groceryman song)”, and it’s hard to decide if Spyderhuff is just secretly communicating with a guerrilla force ready to act on his command."
- ALT77
MAKE FIRE
"The artist is certainly not pretending to be a friend of all men. The pyromaniac confessions of “MAKE FIRE,” likely the EP’s best track, sounds like 1980s The Cult given a ragged bluesy vocal and a real mean streak."
- ALT77
DON'T DO IT
"The riff section around 1:30 is a standout moment. It has this “oh wow” injection of groove and inventiveness. This track’s instrumental confidence makes it one of the EP’s highlights."
- Sinusoidal Music
SADDLE UP
"The EP’s closing track, “SADDLE UP,” sounds like the ghost of Lux Interior covering a raunchy Jerry Lewis song that was scribbled on the one bathroom in heaven. It’s an anthem for charming, cynical villains who, more often than not, get through it with a smile while others lose their cool forever."
