Artist History
1997 saw the birth of Snuff Pop Inc. The concept itself was concocted a few years earlier by Ant, founder of the band, and forms the basis of the major part of what the band expresses regarding instrumentation, composition, lyrics and staging.
In addition to the analogue instrumentation (bass, guitar, drums and vocal) the final and no less significant part consists in an expanse of sampled melody structures, conducted by Ant, embracing all from industrial sounds to organized instruments, orchestral as well as synthetic. These structures form an equally dominating part and are just as important to the whole as the analogue instruments. The overall result is a wide and well-developed musical panorama, creating a style which the band, inspired by a review, calls Warped Industrial.
Ant (vocal) became acquainted with Jaev in 1996 and Kristoffer was implicated in the project same year. In 1997 Max became the drummer of the band. In year 2000 Kristoffer was replaced with Steff, who in the end of year 2002 together with Jaev decided to leave the band to continue with their own projects. Steff was replaced with Sonic (guitar) who has remained in the band ever since.
It wouldn't be correct to place Snuff Pop Inc. in one particular musical category. Still, one is not mistaken, once introduced, about their consistent style. One distinctive mark, especially, is the theatrical approach, by which the musical elements at times illustrate and exemplify the contents of the lyrics, characteristic of musicals and film-music. The compositions, in terms of harmony and form, don't allow of any marked definition of genre. But they're frequently placed in alternative genres such as Industrial and so-called Alternative Rock - an educated, but far from adequate reference. The independent genre and characteristic stage show have brought about various comparisons with bands from Marilyn Manson to T. Rex, from Foetus to Mr. Bungle. These comparisons can be slightly useful.

Press Reviews
Listen.com wrote: Warped Industrial from Denmark. Anything goes in this audio freak show of psychological deformity. Snuff Pop Inc. make some of the most deranged music since Jim Thirlwell's wacky, wicked glory days in Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel......................................
About.com wrote: Twisted Denmark band with intelligent lyrics and heavy guitars. At times reminiscent of Foetus, at other times closer to NIN. Site features lyrics, MP3s, pictures, biography. They also have an MP3.com Site. Recommended Band! |
