Someday Everything Will Be Fine

Five albums into their career, Spider Bags are sounding a little less punk and a bit more rock on 2018's Someday Everything Will Be Fine. On this new record the band do not hold onto the garage rock mentality but embrace country music instrumentation similar to that of their first two records. It has been noted on numerous occasions that a Tascam 388 recording set-up was used to record the album. Spider Bags continue to prove that punk, indie rock and country are malleable genres that be conjoined in holy matrimony.
