Tarantula is the fourth studio album by British rock band Ride, released in March 1996 shortly after the band split. The album was deleted from Creation Records' catalogue only one week after its release.
This is also the only Ride album on which Andy Bell's vocal duties outweigh those of regular frontman Mark Gardener, due to internal conflict and the prior of their breakup. By contrast to the band's earlier and post-reunion albums, Gardener sang on only two songs which made the original tracklist, alongside one bonus track.
