The band were signed to Polydor Records in 2006 and changed their name to SpiderSimpson, after a character from a cult film.^{[clarification needed]} They recorded their debut album at Studio 606 in Los Angeles with record producer Nick Raskulinecz, but the record was rejected by Polydor.^{[citation needed]}

In the autumn 2006 they completed the Kerrang! Radio Breakthrough Tour with other newly signed bands, followed by a UK tour in December. In May 2011, Zindani announced on Kerrang! Radio that Casino had signed a record deal and were going to release an album. This turned out to be 2009's The Spider Simpson Incident and was a re-recording of the rejected album, with added new songs, funded by Zindani's work with Stereophonics. In late 2012, the band released the singles "Runaway" and "Rise and Fall", followed by the release of the album Heavy Fever.^{[citation needed]}

Zindani joined Stereophonics for their appearance at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Preston on 20 May 2007. He continued to perform with the band for the remainder of the Pull the Pin Tour, playing lead guitar and backing vocals. He is credited for writing and performing on two of the band's tracks, "You're My Star" and "My Own Worst Enemy". In 2008 he was made a permanent member of the band.^{[citation needed]}
