Snapdragons + Band in St. Paul, MN

SEEKING

ABOUT

A solid all original band with the music that is both melodic, almost artsy as well as having a nice drive. Very good sound that makes people both take notice and get up and boogie!
We have tons of influences ranging from Radiohead and Depeche Mode to Rush, Chevelle, Tool, Live, Fair to Midland, System of a Down, Creed to Phantogram, Imogen Heap, Christal Castles, etc. See below.
Our sound is original so defies easy description. Some songs may remind one of U2 or REM. Others of Radiohead or Blur. We have a good drive but are not metalheads. Love electronica. Big focus of our music is melody. Everything else is secondary. Without a well constructed and executed melody, songs can quickly devolve into noisy tedium.
