With an arsenal of emotions, The Snuts manage to invoke a lifetime of feeling in just thirteen bangers that are bursting with adrenaline and melancholy alike.

The album feels baggy in places, leaving you wondering if they’re trying too hard to tick every box. But most of the risks the band take pay off. A very promising debut.

On their debut record ‘W.L’, the Scottish band make the case for something a bit more inclusive and down the middle, but never abandon the call of progress.
One of the bright lights leading the explosion of new bands coming from Scotland, the Snuts have always defied expectation and this is no exception. Taking the basic guitar/bass/drum/vocal lineup, they have consistently shown the ability to mix tender songs with raw emotion together with straight ahead Libertines-type punk pop and this album shows their entire range extremely well.

Just listen to an average 2010s indie rock band for the same type of sound. There are 8000 bands that sound exactly like this. The Snuts need to find an identity that is as unique as their name.

W.L.'s main problem is it ticks every indie cliché trickery you may as have heard countless times.

Dude, this is borking as fuck. Hate doing this to Scots but it’s like advert music that 15 yo would make. Fuck, this is also so predictable musically. Just using every cliche used by every other arctic monkey copycats
The Scottish band presents an honest record full of catchy rhythms and amazing lyrics is one of those records I listen on repeat over and over again.
