Wolfspider is a four-piece, hard rock band from Washington, D.C. In June 1999, Wolfspider was created by original founding members Jim "Les" Swink, guitar player and original songwriter, After a few line up changes, we have now brought in singer Abby Rhoads and Marc Isreal on bass guitar. Mike Peck is now our full time drummer. The new sound is coinciding with today's music.
Wolfspider has gotten national recognition as the official rock band for the Tony Kornheiser Show on ESPN's Sports talk Radio. Since June 1998, the music has been played on the show between commercial breaks. The show is syndicated, and it is heard on over 200 radio stations across the country. In turn, they have been able to play high profile gigs, such as the Milwaukee Metal Fest. Wolfspider targets all-age audiences.
