Spiderbait's songs in the key of J

It’s not overstating it to say that Spiderbait are one of Australia’s most loved bands.

For more than 30 years, this power trio have ripped it up on stages and albums alike, and held a tight bond of friendship the whole way through.

Their latest venture is a compilation album celebrating their bassist and singer Janet English. It’s called Sounds in the Key Of J, and off the back of it’s release I asked the main character and her bandmate Kram to Take 5.

This is one of the wildest collections of songs I’ve ever seen in a Take 5, and I’m here for it. It’s also a beautiful reflection of friendship, curiosity, the genre bending they’ve done, and the foundations of where Spiderbait have come from.

From The Go-Go’s to the War of the Worlds album, jump in and take a trip through the foundations of Spiderbait with Janet and Kram.
