"Tarantula" went out on 27 June 2005 paired with "Fasten Your Seatbelt", the fourth single from Australian drum and bass outfit Pendulum and their second for the independent label Breakbeat Kaos, and a month later both songs landed on the CD of Hold Your Colour. Gareth McGrillen, Daniel Stein and Rob Swire built the track and produced it, Swire mixed, and the words and voices belong to Spyda and Tenor Fly, the latter borrowed from the Freestylers.
The surprise is the brass: Pablo Mendelssohn on trumpet, James Morton on alto sax, Jon Shenoy on tenor sax and Tim Smart on trombone, a whole horn section bolted onto a drum and bass roller. The single reached No. 60 in the UK.
