Snatch?!
Around the fall of 1985 I remember having a copy of Metal or Metal Maniacs that had a pin-up of a goofy looking band called Snatch. There was no article or any mentions just the pin-up and the band name. I never heard anything of them after that, but in recent years the memory of that pin-up came back to me and I wondered who these guys were. I couldn't find much even with the wonderful internet which we unfortunately didn't have back in the dark ages of 1985. However I did find the album cover which is the one above. This band apparently did release this one EP in 1985 called "If the party is in your mouth...we're coming!". No, I didn't make that up either, it is unfortunately the title. So I'll answer a few questions to a little more about what I know and think about this album.
Have I heard this album? No, I have not.
Do I think it would suck? Like a Hoover vacum cleaner.
Do I think they got their outfits at David Lee Roth's yard sale? Yes and they likely raided Paul Stanley's basement as well.
Is it the worst album title ever? Perhaps not, but it would have to be in the race.
Would I buy this? Possibly because I live for this crap.
***If you know any more about this band then feel free to share.
I'm waiting for a copy of this to show up on Steve's Ebay madness. I can't imagine it's any good, but I think I would buy it too if I saw it reasonably cheap. It's a novelty item.

Bob - I swear I will find this! I have this thing for cheesy, crap Metal from back in the day!
ReplyDeleteMark - Dude that looks horrible but it's one of those must haves now, LOL!
This looked bad even by 1985 standards which is saying something. It seems like the pin-up I saw was the same picture as this cover.
ReplyDeleteFor those of you wondering what happened to these
ReplyDeleteguys, I did a recent interview with bass player Marc Carmona for a SNATCH flashback on my Jan '09 podcast show.

I used to own this back when it came out it wasn't the worst but not at all memorable, I have no idea where it went. Anyway, someone has it on Ebay right now for $100.00 check it out at http://tinyurl.com/pn78je
ReplyDeleteIf you're insterested in this album let me know I can get it for you. It'd be 15 bucks + shipping. The vynil is not mine so it's sold as is

So, let me get this straight. You want $15 plus shipping for a record no one is interested in aside from as a novelty and the condition is a mystery? What a deal!
