Snapper

Mid-1990s fizzy Brit-pop. Catchy melodies you'll be singing on the bus - that's if you like them, and you're on a bus, and you feel like singing.

In the Summer of 1995, in York, Dave (bass) and Colin (lead guitar) formed a band with Nigel (drums) and H (rhythm guitar) and then decided to recruit Tim (vocals) but then Dave went to Egypt and Nigel wrote off his car and most of his body and was temporarily replaced by Roland (drum-machine) with whom Snapper recorded the three tracks featured here, with H on bass and Tim on rhythm guitar.

Then Nigel got better allowing Colin, H, Nigel and Tim to finally play some gigs. Then there was a BIG gap, during which Colin decided to leave and the mysterious Damian was invited to join. Damian made so much noise on his own that Tim was able to stop playing guitar and concentrate on learning to sing, which helped quite a lot.

Then, after a headlining gig at Fibbers in York in February 1996, they split up (although, if we're honest, all that really happened was that they changed the line-up slightly again and started calling themselves Bubblewrap...).
