SNAKE VALLEY RELEASE HARD-HITTING, GARAGE PUNK FILLED DEBUT ALBUM: GIDDY UP!
Melbourne’s new favorite noisy garage-punk band Snake Valley have announced their debut album ‘Giddy Up!’. Out now, this fun look into Snake Valley is unlike anything we’ve seen before. Infused with punk, garage rock and post-rock influences akin to the likes of Oh Sees, The Uranium Club and Tropical Fuck Storm, ‘Giddy Up!’ is a developed and dirty dedication to the disdained.
“This album has a contrast of songs on there. You can find some real angular punk, post rock to even a smidge of Dad Rock. It’s a real fun one!”
Officially forming in Ballarat in 2018 after jamming and end of their old high-school bands, Snake Valley are now known for their high energy, offering a crazy intense live performance that has gracefully earned them a name as key players in Melbourne’s local music scene.
‘Giddy Up!’ follows after a successful string of single releases from the five-piece, with their singles ‘Bush Pig’ and ‘New Age Slavery’ seeing them play alongside the likes of Good Morning and Straight Arrows as well as some of the top spots on Sanitise Live Stream Fest and the 2019 Ballarat Fringe Festival.
Punky and unforgiving— Snake Valley’s new album pays homage to the intensity of their live performance, with huge production elements that serves as a subtle nod towards their creative journey.
“Theme’s on this album are really hard hitting tackling issues that have effected everyone once in their life. Some would say we sound a little angry or unhinged with the things going on in the world.” continues front-man Matt Martin. “We were growing huge momentum before COVID hit and thought that finally releasing this album would help keep it going even though we had massive plans to release and tour it. Overall I feel like everyone’s going to love this. I find it has something for everyone on there.”
“Snake Valley is a new Melbourne group that harks back to the early days of the likes of The Living Eyes and The Murlocs. Most of all they’re an incredible live act, with real swagger and dirty riffing.” - Record Turnover.
“Some dusty, rattling sounds from this band that'll hit the spot for fans of southern fried rock.” - Dave Ruby Howe Triple J.
“The soundtrack to a weird garage rock science fiction film about overcoming some sort of oppressive regime, Snake Valley are as biting as any other local favourites” - Magnetic Visions
