Swedish rockers Spiders have never been ones to play it safe, and with Sharp Objects, they’re proving that rock ‘n’ roll still has plenty of fight left. This latest release is a defiant statement, a bold fusion of raw energy, classic influences, and a rebellious spirit that refuses to be tamed. Moreover, Spiders are stepping beyond their past and into something sharper, more urgent, and undeniably their own.

Since their 2012 debut, Spiders have built a reputation for crafting high-voltage rock, drawing from the past while injecting it with a modern edge. Early records like Flash Point and Shake Electric leaned into bluesy swagger and vintage riffage, while Killer Machine cranked up the intensity. But Sharp Objects sees the band carving out new territory, pulling in the jagged edges of garage rock and the pulse of early ‘80s new wave, shaping an album that’s both familiar and unpredictable.

This time around, Spiders aren't merely playing homage to rock history, they're dragging it into the present, kicking and screaming. Sharp Objects moves with the attitude of the Faces and Dead Boys, but it also pulses with the unfiltered energy of Bikini Kill. There’s even a bit of Debbie Harry’s cool defiance screaming to get out.

Recorded with the kind of reckless passion that only a road tested band can deliver, Sharp Objects bristles with intensity. The songs pulse with a restless energy, moving between fist-pumping anthems and gritty, sweat-soaked burners. Every track feels like it was made to be played loud, whether it’s in a packed club or blasting out of a car stereo on a late-night drive.

For more than a decade, Spiders have built their name the old-fashioned way, by hitting the stage and delivering night after night. From festival fields to underground rock clubs, they’ve earned their reputation through sheer force of performance. That same fire burns through Sharp Objects, an album that doesn’t just ask to be heard but demands it.
