The Unfinished Spanish Galleon of Finley Lake, Spiderbait's second studio album, came out in 1995 and takes its name from a real half-built galleon back in the band's hometown of Finley, New South Wales, a bid to beautify the town that never got finished. That's Spiderbait in a nutshell: small-town, deadpan and a little bit cracked.
Janet English on bass and vocals, Kram on drums and vocals and Damian Whitty on guitar bash out alternative rock that swerves between sugar-rush hooks and full-tilt racket, and "Monty" is the one that got onto the countdowns. It did the job, too: a No. 14 peak on the ARIA albums chart, two ARIA nominations and a lot more industry ears turned toward Finley. Ivy and the Big Apples came next.
