First of all, go ahead and have fun with their name when announcing on the radio, because I now know it’s impossible to keep you from murdering band names… and this one is already impossible to pronounce. So is the band as fun as the name? you can bet your bottom dollar on it. Take the power pop of Apples in Stereo, the geek rock of They Might Be Giants, the singer of Wheatus and add an accordion, a trumpet and a tuba that plays bass lines and you have SNMNMNM. Hailing from Chapel Hill via a few other cities, they create annoyingly catchy songs whose hooks will jingle in your head for weeks. The music is actually a lot more refined than you would think thanks to have 3 of the 4 members classically trained musicians and the other one a “talented smart-ass.” The album is good, but I’m guessing the live show is better much due to an amplified tuba solo. Well there is nothing really else to say but enjoy and good luck announcing the name.
