If you’re looking at our page, chances are that you know what we sound like already. Our history, if you’re interested is all on wikipedia (my favorite website). As of December 2010, we’ve been a band for 5 years. 5 years….5 years is a long time, but as I sit here and type this, it seems like no time at all. I suppose it’s because I never really stop to think about what we’ve accomplished in the past few years. I don’t stop to think, because I’m always looking forward to what comes next. What comes next is a new record. We’re currently right in the middle of the writing process, and I think the new songs are pretty dang good. Actually, some of these songs are in the running for my favorite BC songs ever. Seriously can’t wait for you guys to hear them.

For everyone that has been there since our first show on that cold night in Longview in early 2006, to the kid on his computer right now, learning about us for the first time, THANK YOU! It feels good to write songs, record albums, and play shows, but I don’t want to imagine all this without you guys singing along.

Driving down a highway listening to either metal, hip hop, or country. Getting to the venue. Eating. Drinking. Playing. More Drinking. Heading to our home for the night. Drinking some more. Sleeping. Starting all over again. We’re pretty simple folk.

We are a band that plays songs!

Pictures of a Floating World, Silver Snakes debut released in August of 2011, is a tribute to free thinking – focusing on societal themes and individuality. It showcases glimpses of rock experimentalists At the Drive In and Fugazi, both major influences on the Snakes’ sound. “Steve and Roger have been good friends of ours for a while. We had always planned to do the record with them since they understood what we were going for in making a 90s influenced, raw rock record,” says Alex on working with Steve Choi and Roger Camero. The album touches on several genres, while not overstaying its welcome in any particular one.

Typesetter formed out of love for Midwestern punk rock in 2008, When a few friends and veterans of the St.Louis, Missouri punk scene began trading songs. The project languished while we were separated throughout the region, often the topic of late night conversations; “someday we need to start this band…” In 2012, we reunited in Chicago and began polishing off the old songs and writing new ones as well. We’re stoked about em, hope you are too.
