PopMatters is pleased to premiere Singles by North Carolina underground heroes Spider Bags. Though they may be a prime example of an underrated, underappreciated act, Spider Bags still get their fair share of love. Titus Andronicus' Patrick Stickles has touted the North Carolina garage-rock group as one of his favorite bands to anyone who's listening. Press coverage has been flattering as well, especially here at PopMatters: We rated Spider Bags' last album Shake My Head as the top "overlooked" album of 2012, which also happens to be...
A top-notch compilation of the five DiggUp Tapes Six Pack Sound Series Cassingles sponsored by PBR is now available as a name-your-price deal on Bandcamp . Each cassette was recorded with a limited run of 50 and given away at each Six Pack Sound Series show free of charge. It is an eclectic mix ranging from an epic 23 minute track from Zack Mexico to the excellent punk riffage of Black Skies (" my brain is busted ') and, perhaps just our favourite, the woozy, cracked Americana of the Spider Bags track No [...]

by Andrew Sacher DOWNLOAD: Spider Bags - "Friday Night" (MP3) Spider Bags at Hopscotch Fest 2011 ( more by Alex Broadwell ) North Carolina rockers Spider Bags are probably best known for having made a huge fan out of Titus Andronicus ' Patrick Stickles and for appearing on their 2010 album, The Monitor , along with a slew of other guests. They've got three of [...]
NC State football will face Virginia on Saturday, November 3 for this year's homecoming game. The game begins at 12:30PM, if you make it through your shotgun-ridden beer pong-playing pig-roasting tailgating, that is. Festivities have been going on all week, including last night's Pack Howl concert featuring Wale and the week-long "Wear Red Get Fed" campaign, where broke hungry college students are rewarded with free food from local businesses for donning the school's famous color. What we here at WKNC are most excited about though (we have a few hardcore sports fans, a sports show, etc. - but [...]
If you haven't been brought to your front door by the knocks of canvassers urging you to vote early yet... well, you may be the only one. But the efforts to encourage early voting here in the triangle have taken a more enjoyable turn, and a turn away from your front door. This Friday, October 26, Durham's Central park will host a midday early voting rally. The rally will kick off at 11am and will feature three amazing acts and delicious soup to warm your heart and soul. Mac McCaughan ( Superchunk , Portastatic ), the triangle's [...]
Garage punk outfit Spider Bags drops a new 73 single with the wonderfully fast and blunt "Papa Was A Shithead" as the a-side. Stream it via the widget above, and grab a copy here .
Slap-bracelet koozie // Photo by Jeremy D. Larson There's some vestiges of Magellan that still run through our blood, but the pioneering spirit in music has a habit of leading to dead ends, or sending us around in circles, or retreating toward the safety of civilization. Loathe as I am to say, there is a large circle of people who will never read this - people who don't possess that need for discovery at all, and who see music as a passive or incidental thing in their life like the hum of cicada or the refrigerator kicking in at intervals. I [...]
The opening track of the Spider Bags’ newest album, “Keys to the City,” powers and rollicks with an effervescent, childlike punk quality; it’s a Detroit garage band channeling a Saturday morning cartoon of years past. 2012’s Shake My Head is equal parts The Clash, The Specials, and Ted Leo and the Pharmacists minus the ska influence and any British accents. Instead, like their American counterpart, the aforementioned Ted Leo, Spider Bags hail from New Jersey (via North Carolina.) This, their third LP, is a collection of self effacing stories of love, relationships, and the hard scrabble [...]

'make-out, scoobidee bop bop badoo'
Spider Bags would be right at home in late-'70s NYC. "Friday Night," off Shake My Head (Odessa), sounds like it could be a New York Dolls b-side. It's glam-influenced power pop, and the "oh no"s could easily be mistaken for David Johansen. The message of being bored on a Friday night definitely matches that punk, [...]
For their third album, Spider Bags throw a massive party. But raucous sing-alongs and flowing beer doesn't mean there isn't tension underneath. One fascinating thing about dubstep is how quickly it's unified legions of fans under one flag. Faced with a lack of radio-play-ready proper guitar solos, kids promptly went elsewhere, doing what they do best: making things cool because they are young and doing drugs. The actual merits of dubstep are for another discussion entirely, because this is about the Spider Bags new album, Shake My Head, and how a band like Spider Bags became one...
