“My new favourite band out of the UK. With Snub they explore new sounds and sonics that are sure to please your ears!” - Matt Sorum,  Guns N’Roses, The Cult, Velvet Revolver

It all started from playing grubby pubs in rural Lincolnshire (Preen)  and Macclesfield (Burke), since they were 14, thinking they were rock stars. The buzz of playing live was exhilarating but they knew they needed to learn more. Both lucky to get a place at the Royal Northern College in Manchester where the duo went from Course mates, to house mates, to band mates both met likeminded people with so much talent to offer. Both Preen and Burke band did pretty well in their university band Cosmo Calling, but as relationships moved on and graduation dawned, the band split. Soon after the pair then decided to create their own band and own sound based around their love for storytelling and rich guitar sounds.  .

They say adversity focusses the mind, the pandemic did. The band worked tirelessly whenever they could to bring the dream to life.
