No strangers to the fine art of taking a song and making it their own, Snapped Ankles follow up their 2018 Violations EP with their take on Blurt’s cult classic ‘The Fish Needs A Bike’. This is the sound of the woodwose letting loose on their post-punk standards songbook, after the ‘serious business’ of last year’s Forest Of Your Problems album.
“We focused our logs on a band that we’ve always admired for their dedication to the simplicity of groove, whilst maintaining a fierce outsider stance,” the woodwose explain. “Blurting out primal rhythms and absurd poetry for over forty years, Ted Milton’s Blurt has been consistently singular in their output.”
The release coincides with Snapped Ankles’ return to the USA. They start in San Francisco tonight for a handful of West Coast dates, which includes Desert Daze festival in California. They return for a late-night celebration at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London on October 15th, and an appearance at the SWN festival in Cardiff. See our live page for full details.
