“A cult classic of the underground scene, The Snake Corps deserves a place in the post-punk pantheon.” — Post-Punk.com
“A shimmering, emotional wall of sound. This is post-punk with heart.” — Big Takeover Magazine
Emerging from the post-punk band Sad Lovers & Giants, The Snake Corps formed in 1984 and quickly developed a sound that married dark, melodic atmospheres with sharp guitar lines and emotionally resonant vocals. With a style often compared to bands like The Chameleons, Echo & the Bunnymen, and early U2, they became a fixture in the underground indie rock scene across Europe. Debut album Flesh on Flesh returns to CD for the first time in 35 years: remastered, with expanded packaging, and 7 bonus tracks including the highly-coveted original version of “Testament.”
