Hello. I spent nearly 10 years selling on that other site (you can check my feedback there; It's under the same ID as this one; over 3200 positives, 99.7%). But I thought I'd give this new site a try.
I'm just getting started here, so please excuse the amateur appearance. I'll have the place looking better shortly.
Like all of my cds, this is an Original CD, with original inserts (NO CD-Rs or bootlegs).....
Here's some info or review ............
"With fast songs about faster women and slow death: Glitzkreig is a kamikaze-glitter romp that sounds like it was written and cut in L.A. in 1973 by a band of recovering libertines, then stuffed into a closet full of broken mirror balls and ruined, stacked-heel boots for thirty years. The Spiders, in fact, are modern, heavy-glam lads from Austin, Texas, who rock with the crunchy attention to detail of period scholars. The riffs and wrecking-ball power chords combine the punch and sizzle of early Cheap Trick and Killer-era Alice Cooper, while singer-guitarist Christopher Benedict has a bit of elfin Devo running through his yelp: Mark Mothersbaugh channeling Marc Bolan." Dave Fricke, Rolling Stone "The Spiders are a metalglam band as opposed to a glammetal band—the difference being that glammetal bands are hairmetal bands that dress in spandex and incorporate the vocal extravagances of the '70s, while metalglam bands are glam bands that insert the dark chords of modern metal. The advantage of being metalglam is that you can take it as a given that you're to be stagy, showy, and ridiculous. Another advantage: People don't walk up to you and say, "You sound like an '80s hair-metal band." A third advantage is there's only one of you—the Spiders—so you get to invent the genre. (Sure, once upon a time all glam bands were metal bands—my new roommate sophomore year saw me unloading my Mott and Dolls records and said, "So, you're a heavy metal fan?"—but that was '70s metal of boogie and clomp, which no longer counts.) Glitzkrieg is a good title. Chords and riffs walk the northern night, when they want to, and the singing is glam all the way, doesn't go near Lemmy's death rasp or Ozzy's baying. It's got a swish in its hips, and ham and mockery in its tone. This is a nice contrast, the tuney singing balancing the gloomy playing. Gloom is only a piece of it, anyway, since the guitar will abandon ye olde metal chords for the psychedelic ward, will ape French police sirens, will gallop to the boogie and skip along with dance beats. The singer takes this pose and that, from Iggybilly to elfin. And there's even a track called "Hollywood Hills" that sounds like '80s hairmetal." Frank Kogan, Village Voice "GLITZKRIEG, is a perfect rock album - artistic ideals rolling on enormous balls. I love this disc! The Spiders, a 4 piece, Austin, Texas band, is a fantastic mixture of glam era Bowie, Sabbath, and Queen. A dozen text book rocking songs designed to rock you into sweet rock heaven. There is no highlight tune, no single, the entire disc is the absolute shit. Run, don’t walk - get GLITZKRIEG, now" Oklahoma Punk Scene (H. Barry Zimmerman) "a hodgepodge of 70’s style glam rock n’ roll ala Bowie, The Stooges and New York Dolls with just a pinch of Cheap Trick for meaty results. Mixed in the music is the Lux Interior snarl of the lead vocalist that pushes the rampaging melodies into bombastic compositions." SLUG Mag "The Lord said, "Let there be rock!" And it was good. He said, "Let there be a band from San Marcos, who shall be called The Spiders, and let them bring down the very heavens themselves in the name of rock!" And it was very good. If, as per the wall-crawlers' debut, Sex is Thicker than Blood, fine uncut rock of this caliber is thicker than both." Christopher Gray, Austin Chronicle Vol 20, No 28 "Also catch the Spiders. Ziggy Stardust will disappear in the first bone-crunching minute of the band's set, as the glam-rock exterior reveals a straight-ahead punk show. This week marks the release of the quartet's long-awaited sophomore CD, Glitzkrieg." Shepard Express The Spiders' blend of seventies rock and old school punk have brought back peoples' faith in rock n roll. The Spiders combine Stooges attitude with Sex Pistols swagger and in the process have torn through the belly of the underground rock scene in Austin, TX.
