Spider was a rock band from New York active in the early 1980s. They played melodic hard rock and released two albums: Spider (1980) and Between the Lines (1981). Their most well-known songs include "New Romance (It's a Mystery)" and "Change," which was later made famous by John Waite. The band featured keyboardist Holly Knight, who later became a successful songwriter for artists like Pat Benatar, Tina Turner, and Heart. After Spider disbanded, they briefly reformed as Shanghai with a different lineup before splitting for good.
