Digital Release for SONGS FROM THE SATELLITES!
On 15th Nov 2024 the first album by The Snakes, Songs From The Satellites (from 2006!) is finally getting a digital release (Spotify and all the other suspects).
So get clicking and follow / like / subscribe, whatever the hell you're supposed to do with these things.
There should be a link to it on Spotify here :

Back in 2006, when the album was released on CD, the world of streaming and music on demand was merely a dream (or nightmare perhaps?) If you wanted to hear the album you had to buy the CD (vinyl being largely missing presumed dead, at the time. Although a self taped cassette copy would not have been too difficult to obtain).
But now, prepare to be amazed by the convenience of being able to listen to one of your favourite Snakes albums without actually having to buy it. (It's ok, we weren't planning on paying our gas bills anyway...)
As you may already know, the second and third albums, Sometime Soon... and The Last Days of Rock & Roll are already on Spotify and the usual digital / streaming places, so now it only remains for you to add Songs From The Satellites to your daily playlist routine. Go on, go on, go on...
RICHARD DAVIES NEW ALBUM!
Tommy Hale's new album was released on 12th April 2024. It's called ALL AT SEA and it's great. We are, as usual, all over it.
AND, yes, this is good...Tommy Hale has a Christmas single ready to destroy the universe this November! It's called "Let's Not Fight, It's Christmas". There will be a video too (which, from what we've been told, sounds great!)
You remember Tommy, our pal from Texas?
Well, the album was released late September 2016 and is titled Magnificent Bastard (see photo) and The Snakes are all over it!
Three *** Review in Q Magazine.
It's a bit old now, but there's a nice big feature on The Snakes in Bucketfull of Brains No.82 (the one with Danny & The Champs on the cover).
And not only but also, a great half page piece in R2 Magazine as well (the one with Robert Cray on cover).
The Snakes are back in Vive Le Rock, this time with a cracking album review. 8 out of 10 for The Last Days of Rock & Roll.
It's in the issue with Sisters Of Mercy on the cover.
Hope you also got your copy of the CBGBs issue of Vive le Rock Magazine. The Snakes had a song on the cover CD!
THE LAST DAYS OF ROCK & ROLL.
8/10 Highly Recommended - Vive Le Rock
3 * - Q Magazine
8/10 - Americana UK
Released on the legendary Bucketfull of Brains label, the eclectic new album sees the band expanding on their established Alt-country repertoire from Stonesesque country swagger through soulful Celtic folk to the dirty rock & roll of Mott the Hoople and Mink Deville, sharing a bottle of bourbon with Tom Petty and Bob Dylan along the way.
THE LAST DAYS OF ROCK & ROLL is also the first Snakes album to feature a cover version, with the enigmatic ‘The French Girl’, a long lost gem discovered via Gene Clark.
THE LAST DAYS OF ROCK & ROLL...out now!
Maybe Even Your Local Record Store?!
