SOUTHBOUND SNAKE CHARMERS – Satisfy Your Soul (2026) *HQ*
320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1 /// HQ 2
-Dirty Blues?… Check! -Nasty Voodoo Grooves?… Check! -Raw rockin’ riffs with lashings of swamp vibes and psychedelic fuzz?… Check! – Welcome to the SOUTHBOUND SNAKE CHARMERS y’all.
This dynamic five piece have been conjuring up their own unique brand of rockin’ swampy blues since 2013. Led by the original Snake Charmer himself: vocalist and charismatic frontman Chris Denman, Brooke Maloney is on Drums, Nat Sutphin is on Bass and Gary Ritchie is on guitar and backing vocal duties.
With their home in Melbourne, Australia but their souls lurking in the Deep South, the Southbound Snake Charmers weave tales of hoodoo folklore, hard luck, harder liquor and the seedy underground. Drawing on influences like CREAM, ZZ TOP, JOHNNY WINTER, JIMI HENDRIX, and more, the band create a fresh approach to the genre. Capturing a distinctively familiar retro atmosphere, they craft their own sound characterised by sun drenched vintage guitar tones, raw emotive vocals and a driving rhythm section combined with a heavier edge.
We are just in love with their new album “Satisfy Your Soul” – this is so refreshing. And the 10-tracker gets better and better – while all tracks are good and varied, it’s becoming increasingly awesome towards the end: the crunch on “On My Trail” is dirtier than a roadhouse bathroom and guaranteed to make you want to get down and slither like a red bellied black snake, ”Hell on Wheels” would made a 1979 BILLY GIBBONS proud, while the RICHIE KOTZEN’s Mother Head’s Family Reunion sounding ”Echoes of Your Mind” is fantastic.
Please don’t miss this album…
