Snõõper (the Project) began as a collaboration between local Nashville punk mainstay Connor Cummins and Blair Tramel, an early education teacher with a sideline in wickedly funny animation and art. As their cassette tapes and homemade videos began to find scattered fans around the world, the duo brought the Project to the live stage in late 2021 and Snõõper (the Band) was born.

Featuring one of the wildest live shows out there, as well a maelstrom of puppets, 8 bit animation, papier-mâché, whistles, flashing lights and a whirling dervish of bodies, Snõõper commits the live act to a studio setting and sets the stage for one of the most promising punk debut albums in decades.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Bristling post-punk guitars, intricate percussive blasts and rhythmic vocal lines make for one of the most refreshing and incendiary acts to have emerged in a good few years. Wonderfully inventive while still retaining all of the innate uncomplicated drive of a good punk record. Absolutely essential listen.
