SNUFF

SNUFF - A folk band for the age. A punk band for the millenium. Making music for music's sake. Completely independent and self-sustaining. The Punk & Mod men of Harrow in a direct timeline from the sharply dressed Hoochie Coochie blues & soul men of Chicago and Detroit, Duncan Redmonds is a storyteller and observer following on from the British folk tradition of Richard Thompson and Martin Carthy set to a punk - motown beat that is revered in certain circles but misunderstood in polite society. Raucous songs of modern folk tales.

Each story unfolds as you listen to their punk soul blues on the new album, you can find songs such as "Green Glass Chippings" and a cover of Curtis Mayfield’s "Hard Times". Over two years in the making, the band started work on new material taking new song ideas back to the format of a three-piece line up - and then bringing the organ and trombone into the mix much later once the songs were up and running. The lockdowns of 2020 held up some rehearsals, but the ideas would keep coming and the songs kept developing. Sometimes even down at the local park where the boys entertained the local dog walkers.

The crowd’s reaction to the new stuff was superb! Finally un-caged in 2021 and fully able to rehearse at their local music venue The Trinity in Harrow whilst it was still closed for gigs, the band got back up running. Fast, angry and loud, ready to visit Perry Vale Studios with Pat Collier (The Vibrators) who manned the record buttons.

Huzzah, huzzah and thrice huzzah!! 10 brand new tracks have appeared. All played in that classic infectious SNUFF style of aggressive, harmonised melodic motown punk. Snuff are alive, well and in tip-top form!! "Crepuscolo Dorato Della Bruschetta Borsetta Calzetta Cacchetta Trombetta Lambretta Giallo Ossido, Ooooooh Così Magnifico!" - coming to you on April 22, 2022 from the band’s own 10 past 12 Records (U.K.) and SBÄM Records (worldwide).
