Snapped Ankles - "Raoul"


It's been almost three years since I saw Snapped Ankles at Crystal Ballroom, so we're thrilled to have new music from them. The London based band is hard to describe, and so is their new single. "Raoul" isn't even remotely close to the hardcore sound I would expect based on the band's name. Instead, it's an electronic based version of post-punk. It's a synth heavy track that is filled with controlled chaos. At the Crystal Ballroom show, the music was perfect for awkward dancing, and this is reflected in "Raoul." According to the press release for the song, it's "...m a feverish conversation about geopolitics between unreliable narrators over buzzing synths and howling dogs". Y
ou'll know from that if you're going to want to listen. And if you do, prepare to be blown away by Snapped Ankles.

You can watch the video for "Raoul" below. Hard Times Furious Dancing is set for release on March 28 on The Leaf Label, and is available for pre-order here. For more on Snapped Ankles, check out the band's website. Upcoming European tour dates are below the video.

  1. BOOST YOUR CREDIT SCORE FOR A BRIGHTER FINANCIAL FUTURE
    My wife and I were trying to purchase a house after we gave birth to twins. But due to our bad credit score it was not approved. My score was 501, her's was 545. They use the higher of the two scores, so we decided to work on her FICO score. Thanks to Janine who referred me to Synack Hack and their contact details are synackhack{@}tech{-}center{.}com
    They helped remove debt from both credit report, they now appear as paid, the most amazing part is that my FICO score has been raised from 545 to 817 across the three credit bureaus. We were able to buy the house in Sydney and now raising our beautiful children there. Thank you Synack you made all this possible.
