I'm gonna do my best not to gush like a little school girl here but it won't be easy. I don't make a habit of keeping score but I'd be full of shit if I didn't acknowledge SNUFF as one of my favorite bands of all time. Few bands -- let alone punk ones -- are as multi-faceted and diverse as this one. Drawing just as much influence from punk luminaries No Means No and contemporaries Leatherface as they do from The Bangles, Marvin Gaye, Slayer, European folk music, British telly adverts, and nearly everything else under the sun.

It now seems only appropriate to kick off this little endeavor with the aforementioned Peter & The Test Tube Babies . Still gigging in 2026 and led by the same core pair that started the group back in Peacehaven, East Sussex circa 1978.
