Spider Rockets love playing in Youngstown

Similar to a moth circling around a bright light in the middle of the night, affirmation-deficit up-and-coming rock bands sooner than later return to those venues where the band members felt their music actually reached an audience.

This is the case with New Jersey act Spider Rockets, which is returning to Youngstown on Friday for another Cedars Lounge gig.

“I just sensed that people love rock in Youngstown,” said singer Helena Cos, calling from Hazlet, N.J. “There was just a lot of support for rock, and it was a good vibe. If you give us a town where you can tell people like their music loud, that’s where we end up and that’s where we end up doing pretty well.”
