WNXP Nashville Artist of the Month: Snooper

Nashville indie crew Snooper went from the city’s underground DIY scene to international festival favorites and critical darlings thanks to their over-the-top live shows and their Third Man Records release Super Snooper, a compilation of re-recorded versions of their previously released material. While they emerged from the “egg punk” sub-genre, they’ve set themselves up to grow beyond that scene with their debut Worldwide. It was produced in Los Angeles with John Congelton the studio whiz who has worked on everyone from Phoebe Bridgers to Earl Sweatshirt, and explores the edges of the band’s sound while still retaining their furious pace and sharp, social commentary. In their discussion with WNXP they cover the choice of Congleton, why the egg punk label doesn’t bother them, how Devo’s art-first ethos inspired their approach and, when it comes to their aesthetic, why “fun doesn’t mean that it’s silly.”WNXP 91.ONE - Nashville's Music ExperienceSUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER: https://wnxp.org/weeklyrecord/FOLLOW US:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/wnxpnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/wnxpnashvilleTIKTOK: https://tiktok.com/@wnxpnashvilleFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/wnxpnashvilleBLUESKY: https://bsky.app/profile/wnxpnashville.bsky.social
