Bio
A ROCK N’ ROLL ADVENTURE FOR THE AGES
Snake Bite Whisky exploded onto the scene in 2014 and have quickly established themselves as one of Australia’s hardest hitting rock bands. Likened to early Guns N’ Roses with a healthy dose of Motörhead, the Snakes have built up a worldwide following thanks to their massive sound and heady mix of punk and heavy metal energy. Determined to bring the style and attitude of the eighties Sunset Strip kicking and screaming into the present, Snake Bite Whisky are a force to be reckoned with.
In July 2015, the band released their debut split single ‘Lost Saints / Cruel & Indiscreet’, which enjoyed widespread radio play in Australia, the US and the UK, with ‘Lost Saints’ charting at number 4 on the UK’s largest online rock radio station. The same year, frontman Jay R was nominated for best vocalist at the TBFM Awards in the UK.
2016 saw Snake Bite Whisky develop their sound further with the release of the garage EP ‘Two Steps To Oblivion’, which received extensive airplay around the world. At the same time, the band signed endorsement deals with Coldcock Whisky and Dirtbag Clothing. In July of that year, the band headlined a show in Tijuana, Mexico and blew up the stage at the 15th annual Crüe Fest at the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood. The band used their time in Hollywood to also record follow up EP ‘Dirty’, which was released on 31 October the same year.
In December 2016, singer Jay R survived a near fatal heart attack from a blood clot. After coming out of the ordeal fighting fit, the band signed a global record deal with Pavement Entertainment (USA) and entered the studio to record their debut album ‘This Side Of Hell’, which was released by Sony Red in 2019.
The album received critical acclaim, with the first single ‘Down In The Dirt’ getting picked up all around the world. The same year, the band performed at Hard Rock Hell in the UK, alongside Backyard Babies, LA Guns and Jetboy, and continued to tour the album across the UK, Belgium and New Zealand, as well as throughout their native Australia.
The following year, the Snakes signed a new record deal with European label Sliptrick Records and recorded and released follow up album ‘Black Candy’. Released in March 2021, ‘Black Candy’, led by full tilt first single ‘Thunderbird’, was spread all around the globe, with the album charting at Number 98 on the Italian iTunes all genre charts.
In 2023, the band performed at multiple shows and festivals around Australia and embarked on a tour of the USA that included headlining gigs in Hollywood, New Orleans, and Houston. The band also put on a monster show at the infamous Rocklahoma Festival in Pryor, Oklahoma, alongside heavyweights Pantera, Limp Bizkit and Rob Zombie.
Snake Bite Whisky are currently working on their third full length album as well as a covers album for release in late 2024. New shows are constantly being added and the band look forward to kicking your ass whenever they come to town.
