Snooper Unknown Caller EP Drops Ahead of EU/UK Tour

Snooper, Nashville’s hyper-wired punk outfit, have released a new EP, Unknown Caller, recorded at home in February in anticipation of their EU and UK summer tour.

Newest Snooper EP Unknown Caller 

The four-track project captures the group’s trademark blend of manic egg punk energy and deadpan delivery, compressed into just under nine minutes of jittery hooks and structured noise.

Caller ID, In The Dark & Incognito. 

The opener, “Caller ID”, clocks in at just over a minute and sets the tone with glitchy urgency. “In The Dark” and “Incognito” stretch things out with angular riffs and stop-start dynamics that echo early Devo with a DIY twist.

Crash Out by Snooper

The closer, “Crash Out”, locks into a groove just long enough to knock it off its axis again. A personal favourite here at Halftone Magazine and a track that drones and wails with class keys and electronic ramblings. This track was the last thing we were expecting from this band in all seriousness. 

The Unknown Caller EP follows a string of rapid-fire releases, including the band’s debut LP Super Snooper and various EPs and splits that have cemented them as one of the most unpredictable live acts coming out of the U.S. right now. Seriously, their releases have been on fire these past 9 months. The live performances are pretty close to the recorded version of their tracks but louder with more energy somehow. 

Snooper are currently on tour in Europe, with dates in Amsterdam (London Calling Festival), Brussels (Les Nuits Botanique), London (Wide Awake Festival), and Nottingham (Dot to Dot). They’ll continue touring through North America later this summer, including appearances at Sled Island and Nelsonville Music Festival.
