deep Snapper – Into the Ugly
I swear this string of material based around Texas is mostly coincidental. I keep getting hit with this stuff and it keeps turning out to be damn good, which then inspires me to write about it on here. The latest act from the lone star state to come across my desk and into my stereo is the trio of deep Snapper, whom have released three albums to date and I think are looking to put out a fourth sometime in the not so distant future. Don’t hold me to that though.
Into the Ugly is the bands most recent release, which was put out last year. While the music itself definitely gives the occasional nod to past post-punk greats Minutemen, the band clearly states on the back of the disc that they are indeed one of the trio’s main inspirations for making music. Although, I can definitely see these guys being pretty fans of Mission of Burma as well after hearing the disc a few times now, but that’s just my guess. Anyway, deep Snapper take that influence and steer it in a slightly more damaged direction that gives it a distinct edge rather than being content with merely churning out rehashed tunes of poppy post-punk. The band also clearly has a sharp wit about them as evidenced through some of the song titles. However, deep Snapper is pretty much all business when it comes to the actual music and pumping out completely solid rock tunes. Into the Ugly certainly brings it for its forty three minute duration, check out the tunes below for more.
