SNAYX release new songs ‘Boys In Blue’ and ‘H.A.N.G’
SNAYX have released two brand new songs!
The new songs, titled Boys In Blue and H.A.N.G, is the brand new double A side single from the Brighton-based punk band and comes on the back of their latest EP, Weaponized Youth: Part 1, which was released back in March.
“The double A-side is a social commentary of recent times,” says vocalist Charlie Herridge about the new songs. “It’s a criticism of the power structures that control and govern us and the hypocrisy they can be steeped in. It’s our expression of anger and dissidence. We encourage the listener to ask themselves ‘If I’m willing to turn a blind eye to these things, what does that say about me?’. Systematic corruption is rife and governing bodies should be constantly evaluated and held accountable. H.A.N.G (Hold Accountable Nefarious Governments) is a play on the language and rhetoric used by the right-wing Government and media.”

Alongside the release of the new songs, the band have announced that drummer Lainey Loops has joined as a full-time member of the band. “We first saw Lainey play in a basement in Sheffield while supporting our mate’s band. We were totally blown away by her star power and immense raw talent so we immediately asked her if she’d like to session with us. We always had the ambition to become a three-piece and were holding out for the right person to join the band. We couldn’t have found a better fit than Lainey Loops. The energy she brings is unmatched and she is an absolute rockstar, but you’ll know that already if you’ve seen us live over the last 12 months.”
Lainey adds, “this past year has been tons of fun and I have been lucky enough to play so many great gigs and festivals thanks to Ollie and Charlie. I have built relationships with everyone on the SNAYX team over the year and have made best friends for life. It made perfect sense for me to join when they asked me and I couldn’t be happier.”
