snake eyes – cash rich – album review
Chances are if you’re a live music aficionado then you’ll at the very least have clocked the snake eyes over the past five years. There’s also a high chance that you’ll have caught them at a festival or supporting one of your favourite bands (You Me At Six, Kid Kapichi, Dinosaur Pile-Up, The Xcerts… the list goes on).
If you’re really attuned, then you may even have caught them on a headline tour because the duo have consciously been honing their craft on stages across the country. If you have already connected with the band then you’ll be particularly excited that now is the time for the band to release their debut album, ‘cash rich’!
A steady stream of singles and EP’s have whetted the appetite of fans but ‘cash rich’ presents an honest and engaging statement of intent from a duo with clearly defined morals and an entrenched glimmer of positivity.
Yes, openly addressing the dumpster-fire of a world that we live in with honesty and integrity but delivering your message in a light-hearted and uplifting musical style is a tricky balance to achieve. Yet somehow snake eyes have absolutely nailed it.
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ‘HDTV’
The twelve tracks on this album represent a time-capsule of their career thus far with tracks written at various times over the past five years and even a couple of remnants from lockdown. Somehow the record doesn’t feel disconnected, it actually flows with precision and the duo’s knack of catchy choruses and raw intensity is at the heart of that feeling.
The likes of ‘jar full of wasps’, ‘no cars’ and ‘hdtv’ open the record with familiarity and lay the path for what follows. ‘i’m a daydream’ is a real gem and helps to settle the record in, before the duo really begin to stretch their legs.
The time taken to create this collection and the desire to include their best work ensures that there isn’t a bad track on the album. ‘swing away’ and ‘robot boy’ work incredibly well as the closing testimony of the album in a way which really demands your captivation.
For fans that have waited a while for this first album, ‘cash rich’ fully delivers on expectations. For those arriving late to the party – now’s the time to get behind a band who promise to become something really special.

snake eyes – norwich – live review
📸(c) Denis Gorbatov
The sun may be out and festival season may well be upon us, but there are still plenty of great gigs happening in venues across the country. Tonight, a group of clued in music fans file into the Waterfront Studio in Norwich for one such gig!
Grassroots venues such as this are a proving ground for young bands and tonight fans will get to witness three such groups looking to insert their names into the hearts and minds of attendees.
AMOURETTE
First up on the compact stage is the local opener Amourette who bring a refreshingly reckless abandon with them. The four-piece have a youthful exuberance which brings their punky rockers to life and gets the venue ready for what’s to come.

RAD PITT
Soon enough it’s time for our next act to hit the stage; or at least some of them! Rad Pitt have journeyed from Essex to make an enormous racket of hypnotic math rock marvel.
Spreading themselves off the stage and onto the dancefloor, the band conjure something of a joyous chaos to the delight and/or bemusement of those in the venue. Their set is tremendously entertaining and just pure riotous fun. Where else would you want to be on a Wednesday night?
SNAKE EYES
Finally, we arrive at our headliners snake eyes who have been making a name for themselves with their support and festival slots in recent times. A steady stream of infectious singles has momentum on their side and this headline tour is a big step for the duo.
They kickstart their set with the brilliant ‘lean’, and recent Full Pelt Single of the Week ‘jar full of wasps’, and already they have the crowd in the mood for a good night. The duo proceeds to deliver just that with a selection of rocky riffs and poppy hooks.
Having previously performed live as a three-piece, its noteworthy that the duo don’t miss a beat and are still highly captivating throughout their time on stage.
Fellow newer tracks ‘hdtv’ and ‘hug me’ are highlights in what is a superb performance before popular tracks ‘scuttlebug’ and ‘skeletons’ receive a highly appreciative response from the audience.
You can’t help but leave the venue excited about what the future holds for snake eyes, who have proven themselves tonight as one of the hottest young bands on the scene.
When looking at the evening as a whole, you can’t fault any of the bands, the venue is a great and life is good. Live music brings incredible joy to many music lovers, and you really should head to your local venue. And if any of these bands are playing? You’d better be there!
