Over the past few years, Arachnia has been carving out their place in Kingston’s vast music scene. Originating as a three piece band consisting of Evan Kluwak on guitar, Zedan Grant-Cochrane on drums and Paige Vaughan on guitar and lead vocals, they formed as an a group of teenagers formed in the tailend of 2022, playing originals with a few covers. Starting off as an underground band in dingy studios, Arachnia spent years building connections and making friends with bands, artists, promoters and more from far and wide.
Over the years, the sound of Arachnia has evolved and taken form, and continues to with an ever growing catalog of music adopting influences from across the metal subgenres and music in general. From a fierce range of screams and growls, thunderous drums, thrashing guitars and pulverizing bass, to soothing percussion, soft cries, and gently whaling strings, there is something for everyone to enjoy, while never losing the Arachnia feel.
While having no release's yet, Arachnia does boust a very loyal and dedicated fanbase who have spread the word and helped the band grow, and even start getting out of Kingston. Each member has a deep passion and love for music that seems to relate to their fans. From Evan's tight guitar playing and amazing tones, Zedan's brutal assault of the drum kit, and Paige's raw energy and aggression, the Arachnia experience is NOT one to miss. With memories, painted setlists and a lifetime of stories to tell, you won't regret being tired the morning after.
