First album review on www.americana-uk.com The Snakes "Songs From the Satellites" (Holiday Disaster, released 20 March 2006) Shuffle the pack and deal the cards – what genre will come out next ? Bit of an unknown quantity The Snakes are; a bit of a mystery. All info about them is hidden away in the bowels of the internet. Even Google has trouble finding them. But their debut album should change all that. 'Songs from the Satellites' follows on from their eponymous six track CD released a couple of years ago. And a right variety pack it is too. Richard Davies is the guitar afficionado who obviously rates Keef and Mick (the guitar player, not the singer), as shades of Stones riffs emanate from a number of tracks, especially 'Eight Ball' and 'Satellite Town'. There's also a hint of John Mellencamp adding to the mix on 'Don't Fade Away'. In fact many of these tracks are reminiscent of other tracks, but they're also unique. Is that the sign of a good song, when it reminds you of summat else, but upon closer listen its impossible to recognise what the alternative song actually is ? Like a roll of the dice, you don't know what's going to come next on this album. 'Turn Back The Clock' has an instantly memorable chorus – in a REM kind of way, 'Eight Ball' is bluesy whilst 'I'll Be Around' flicks over to desert rock. Simon Moor's voice is obviously capable of delivering a variety of genres. He seems comfortable on all these songs, and can be unique whilst also being strangely reminiscent. I think this is a good thing. But if Google can't find info about The Snakes, then Indiscreet PR aren't living up to their name. They need to shout far more loudly about this band. They're well worth the effort. Date review added: Monday, March 13, 2006 Reviewer: Phil Edwards Reviewers Rating: Related web link: Indiscreet Website

.. "really joyous guitar pop with infectious choruses"-Shindig Magazine - "New heroes of British country-rock emerge"-Americana uk - "phenomenal"-Mark Lamarr - "a fantastic album"-Bob Harris - "remembrance day for dopers, that would make the Rod Stewart of talent weep for the swagger"-Sandman Magazine ..Try the ..BEST ..MySpace Editor at ..MySpace.. Toolbox! The Snakes commence their slither up the greasy pole to Alt Country Nirvana by way of their debut album, Songs From The Satellites, to be released on the Holiday Disaster label on Monday, March 20th 2006. With Songs From The Satellites, they cook up an appealingly diverse album that incisively shuffles a deck of Ace cards. From the opening Turn Back The Clock, with its instantly memorable chorus and appealing minor key melody, through the tough but tender Lil B, and the bruised, bluesy balladry of Eight Ball (the latter of which has the kind of restrained elegance that such illustrious forebears as The Rolling Stones exhibited on Wild Horses or Coming Down Again), Songs From The Satellites is a confident opening salvo from a ludicrously talented combo. Other gems include the delicate shuffle of Old Country, a brilliant change of mood, as well as illustrating their instinctive grasp of country styles. The band also know the value of a winning chorus, and Songs From The Satellites is not short on the kind of choral hooks that insinuate in your consciousness check out Drag You Down, for example and its immediate successor, Satellite Town, an unreconstituted slab of slashing Keef-chords and gutsy Country Rock action. Ill Be Around evokes the spirit of Lee Hazelwood and Desert Rock of yore, with its bass string guitar figure and purposeful swagger. Songs From The Satellites sounds great right now, as well as promising a richly rewarding future. The Snakes have built up a dedicated audience base in the UK in the last couple of years, honing the distinctive, highly individualised approach to their craft - The Snakes comprise Simon Moor, guitar, keyboards and lead vocals, bassist / vocalist Alex Culpin, Richard Davies on guitar, slide guitar and vocals, Pete Smart on acoustic guitar and vocals, and drummer Dan Tilbury, who collectively conspire to enthral and entertain. Songs From The Satellites sounds like one of the best debut albums of 2006 to paraphrase one of literatures most infamous reptiles, Kaa the constrictor from The Jungle Book, trust in me! Track Listing: Turn Back The Clock / Lil B / Homecoming Day / Eight Ball / Old Country / Drag You Down / Satellite Town / Ill Be Around / Dont Fade Away / Happiness
