1 day agoSnooper: Worldwide
Snooper adopted a vintage Zoom MRT-3 drum machine and transformed their sound into a propulsive, rhythmically repetitive, and high-energy record on Worldwide.
Listening to Snooper, the American rock band that started up in 2020 and has since rocketed to indie rock stardom, you get the impression that the band is made up of pranksters. The genre is "egg-punk", which feels like a joke in of itself - characterised in the 2010s it's defined by a satirical tone, wry lyrics, cheapo sound and use of internet memes. But the unabashed fun of Snooper is what has garnered them such a dedicated fanbase.
