Brighton alt-punk trio Snayx have announced their debut album, «Greed,» set for release on February 19 via Nettwerk Music Group. The 13-track record marks the first full-length from the band and arrives alongside a new single, «Gold Star,» which takes direct aim at performative wealth and the «manosphere» misogynists who preach it online.
«Gold Star» was co-written with Jordan Fish, known for his work with Bring Me The Horizon, Poppy and Architects. On the blistering track, Snayx call out self-appointed lifestyle gurus who treat money as a substitute for personality. «It's about that guy we've all seen flashing their cash at the bar and preaching about work ethic,» the band said. «He's that 'manosphere' misogynist screaming about lifestyle and the grind, buying his friends and followers because they're so inherently unlikable. Well done, you drive a nice car and got a round in, but that doesn't make you any less insufferable.»
Across «Greed,» the band explore the different ways people always want more — whether through money, power, status, attention, pleasure, possessions or love. The album also calls out social media addiction, self-destructive behaviour and extreme wealth. Musically, Snayx push beyond the punk-inspired sound that first earned them attention, folding in elements of electronica, psychedelia and industrial punk. They worked with Tigercub's Jamie Hall and Spencer Tobias-Williams of NOISY to hone the new direction.
The record features previously released singles «Lost Cause,» «Nice Day 4 It,» «Strut» and «Brain Cellz.» The full tracklist includes «Violence,» «Wasted Again,» «Go With You,» «Gold Star,» «Lost Cause,» «Everything (Interlude),» «Brain Cellz,» «Mouthfeel,» «Nice Day 4 It,» «Strut,» «Soul 2 Sell,» «Sunshine» and «Good Life.»
Frontman Charlie Herridge said the band found joy in the artists who inspired the album, ranging from Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode to The Chemical Brothers and Basement Jaxx. «We've all just found such joy in those artists, and we wanted to share that but also put our unique SNAYX spin on it,» he said. Drummer Elaina «Lainey» Loops added: «We figured it was better to experiment and see what we could get away with than try and play it safe.» Bassist Ollie Horner said he wanted to show real maturity as a songwriter. «There were so many ideas, so many great riffs,» he noted.
The album announcement comes as Snayx prepare to hit the road next year. Their UK and European headline tour kicks off in March 2027 in Newcastle and includes shows at London's Scala and Leeds' Brudenell Social Club. European dates begin in May and run through May 22 with a closing show in Oslo. Tickets go on sale October 16 at 10am BST.
Snayx were named to the NME 100 list of artists to watch in 2025, praised for «mixing stomping Brit-punk with harsh, blunt lyricism.» The entry noted the band's word-of-mouth following across the UK and their rampaging live show, adding that bassist Ollie Horner's tone can «shatter your eardrums on its own.» Whether hitting out against police abuse on «Boys In Blue» or political doom and gloom on «Sink Or Swim,» the trio make sure they shout the loudest — and have heaps of fun in the process.
