Snag, DIY screamo warriors from Milwaukee, sound like the world collapsing all around you. Their music feels that way, too. It's all about the anxiety of living in the end times, expressed with vivid and visceral immediacy. After scrambling around in the underground for many years, Snag have hooked up with the Converge-affiliated label Deathwish, Inc. That basically means that they've hit the bigtime, at least as far as this kind of music goes. This summer, they'll release a new album with the evocative title All The Cages Holding Us Will One Day Turn To Dust.
Snag released Death Doula, their last proper album, back in 2021, and they dropped a split LP with Coma Regalia two years later. They band recorded All The Cages Holding Us Will One Day Turn To Dust live to tape with engineer Nick Elert in a three-day sprint last year, though they had to add the vocals later after a studio power outage. Lead single "Debilitated" starts out as fiery wreckage before melodies and dynamics emerge from the inferno. Below, check out that track and the album's tracklist.
