River of Snakes is a heavy Alternative-Rock band that writhes with venomous noise, wild lead breaks and a pulsating full blooded beat. Their sound is essentially straight ahead primal rock’n’roll, but it is tempered with shards of darkness, feedback/noise, dynamics and melodic punk-pop.

Raul Sanchez best known for his role as guitarist in Magic Dirt and Midnight Woolf, Elissa Rose from the powerful and grungy The Loveless and Dante Gabriele drummer for Midnight Woolf and experimental noiseniks Silence Dead Silence, have joined forces to form this powerhouse trio that blends and sublimates the various elements of their respective bands into a coiling flow of electric mutant rock.

In November 2010 they released their debut 7” ‘Hole in the Night/ Wrecking ball’ and in March 2011 they returned to Birdland studios to record their ‘Bad Blood’ EP which will be out on the 15th of July.

They have played with; Jebediah, Kim salmon and the Surrealists, You Am I, Baptism of Uzi, Useless Children, Zeni Geva(Japan), The Stabs, Warped, The Nation Blue, Spencer P. Jones, Scull Hazzards and more.

“River of Snakes are, at their deepest and most significant level, a seriously good rock’n’roll band…big riffs, a shot of pop sensibility, epic big rock freak-outs and New York punk rock moments powerful enough to send you careering into the beer-stained walls” - Andy Roberts, Beat Magazine 4-5-11

“Fronted by Raúl Sánchez of Magic Dirt, these guys were out to make a huge sound and they did so nicely…with huge amounts of fuzz and feedback and an energetic performance which certainly made good use of the venue’s huge sound system.” - Stefan Edberg, ToneDeaf 07/09/2011
