Red Snapper

biog

“Key” is the seventh and arguably the best album from a genre-defying group that continue to break boundaries and create new sounds while staying true to their unique energy that fans have always loved.

And those fans are many; loyal since the moment Red Snapper formed in 1994.

Snapper have been drilling their way out of pigeonholes ever since, with four albums on Warp Records and two on Lo Recordings. Early releases were on Rich’s Flaw label and immediately established a hardcore fanbase for their instrumental fusions. First album, “Prince Blimey”, was produced by the band and Tim ‘Death In Vegas’ Holmes and released to critical acclaim. A killer Glastonbury set in 1994 attracted Warp Records and mainstream attention and the 90s ended with Radio 1 playlisting the “Making Bones” single “Image Of You”, and performances On Later with Jools Holland, MTV and many European TV shows. By now the band had played and worked with everyone from The Prodigy and Björk to Garbage and The Fugees – playing to audiences all over the world - while still pushing boundaries.
