The Snake Trap

is a really cool instrumental rock band. The name describes their long convoluting, extremely pumping songs perfectly! I can't help but smile at their whacky and maybe silly song titles like "Redheaded Manual Festival", "Four Sores And Seven Beers Ago" (parts I, II and III) and "Untitled". Though I'd rather not label them as this genre or that, I'd suggest this band to people who are into post-rock/stoner-rock, especially bands like Pelican and Isis and to anyone who likes long pointless jams. You'd do good to check them out. I can't find even one decent review of their 2006 album "At Home in a Hostile World". They don't even seem to have a homepage! How lazy can a band get? So listen to these guys and spread the word. Their songs also have a loaded bass sound which can crush you to pulp, so go get hold of the bloody album.

Thanks for the kind words about our record. Lee from the Snake Trap here.

As far as reviews go, our label sent out hundreds of review copies and we're really hoping that others will write some things that are at least half as complimentary as your assessment.

As far as a web site goes, we just decided that Myspace serves every purpose that a traditional website would and its so much easier and quicker to keep up to date. If you didn't find it it's www.myspace.com/thesnaketrap.

Again, thanks for all of the positive feedback and I'm super stoked that you like the record!
