Our new favourite band today are Nashville art punks Snõõper. They just dropped ‘Powerball’ – a one minute splurge of beautifully chaotic guitars, Blair Tramel’s compelling vocals, and adrenalin. The video has major Banana Splits vibes.
“‘Powerball’ was written after a scratch-off winning streak. My mom called me to let us know that the Powerball jackpot was the highest it had been in years and we bought tickets. It’s a funny thing to feel like you are going to win something so arbitrary – to feel like you are going to be the one in a billion winner. When our numbers were not announced, we decided to buy some scratch-offs and, to my surprise, I won $50 on a $2 scratch off. I kept buying scratch-offs from different gas stations around town and kept winning. It was a comical sort of high I hadn’t felt before and even when I started losing money I wanted to keep going.”
