    Artist History
    Snackbox all met at the Salesians when they were nice little boys, under the guidance of Paddy McGoverns magic stick, the magic force that has always guided Snackbox. They have headlined many gigs in Ireland, blowing the roof off such dumps as the Attic, Fusion and the Da Club, and completed a splendid tour of Italy last May. Snackbox recently triumphed again at the Temple Bar Music Centre in Dublin.For more exclusive audio and video, drop by to the homepage at the address below

    Press Reviews
    DEBBIE SKHOW from HOT PRESS on THE ULTIMATE LEISURE PACKAGE CD : "Kildare troublemakers with a wrestling fixation and a classic punk rock chord book. It's well worth two pounds of your valuable drinking money to bask in their escapades of sex, desire and a life well away from the farm.The three tracks on The Ultimate Leisure Package are irreverent, sometimes silly, with Iggy Pop's mouth and trousers and Fatima Mansions' sense of the ridiculous.Snackbox possess a sense of humour and inventiveness that used to belong exclusively to bands of the Cork persuasion like Microdisney, although this gang are based in Celbridge.No doubt Snackbox will be punished for these wild creative instincts, and their warm little hearts squashed by the evil industry of music. History shows they will then turn to all manner ot social disfunction, depravity and day jobs in advertising. Enjoy them while you can". JOHN BRERETON from the EVENT GUIDE on THE MIRACLE VIOLENCE COMBINATION CD : "Snackbox are a young Irish combo that have a great sense of humour and a raw, guitar driven sound that reminds me of The Cramps and early Adam & The Ants. The humour is evident on Leave The House, the first track from The Miracle Violence Combination CD single on Bosschief Records, a tale of splendid isolation, with all the pleasures that staying in entails. Wry lyrics pepper their songs, and while they are not the most original band around, their energy and their D.I.Y attitude is what the Irish music scene needs much more of". Wheeeeee!
