The Pink Spiders stormed the Nashville music scene in late 2003, and by January of 2004, the band released their first EP, called The Pink Spiders are Taking Over!. They signed with CI Records in the summer of 2004. A mere three months after their EP was released, several major-label offers were on the table, and, in April of 2005, the band signed with Geffen Records. The Pink Spiders have since been named as one of Alternative Press’ “100 Bands you need to know in 2006.” The Pink Spiders released their major label debut on August 1st, 2006, entitled Teenage Graffiti. The first single, Little Razorblade, debuted on MTV’s Total Request Live as a premiere. Their third studio album, Sweat It Out, was released on September 23, 2008, after a long wait since the announcement of the CD. The CD hit with it’s single “Gimme Chemicals” and soon followed up with a music video shortly after it’s release. The band has announced it’s fourth album and has dropped names of songs that will possibly be on the CD. Currently the band is recording and the CD is expected to be out in the end of 2009/early 2010. On August 31, 2009, Matt Friction posted a blog on his MySpace stating that the band was taking an extended hiatus and that his primary focus on his new band, called Matt Friction & The Cheap Shots.| |
