Snuff (acoustic)

July 2022 and legendary punk band Snuff ventured into the studio for the first time since lockdown. It was expected that the new album would take 2 weeks to record but thanks to the focus of isolation and pent up frustration the whole thing was completed in little more than a week!

The studio time had been paid for so what to do

Perhaps there could be a punk version of Monkey Jungle

However fate intervened. As The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel came on his headphones Duncan Redmonds, perched at the front of the top deck of the no 185 bus, had a birds eyes view of a typical South London bout of fisticuffs in the street. Divine inspiration

As the bus dropped him off outside Pat Collier's studio an alternative idea was forming. The band were instructed to unplug and pick up their acoustics.

Initially covers were followed by selected cuts from the Snuff canon of classic songs. Musicians were then pulled in to add to the stripped down arrangements which slowly grew into a thing of beauty

Ladies and Gentlemen, 10 Past 12 Records proudly present the first Snuff acoustic record; "Come On If You Think Youre Rachmaninov", come down, here it live for probably one of the few times you will be able too
