During a recent interview with SWOMP, Snot guitarist Mikey Doling and bassist John “Tumor” Fahnestock discussed their upcoming album. Notably, the band are currently “eight songs” in.

Doling said the following:

“We are working a brand new album right now. It’s our first album since [1997’s] ‘Get Some’. It’s literally gonna be 30 years later, and we’re really pumped on it. We’re working with Chris Collier. [He’s] a great producer. He’s done a couple of KORN records, some PRONG and a lot of bands we love. We’re eight songs into the album right now, so we’re real close to completing it. And it’s gonna come out, and we’re fucking stoked on it.”

Fahnestock continued:

“I never thought it could be done until we met [vocalist] Andy [Knapp], to be honest. We’ve tried for the last several decades to put something together. But it feels so real now. And with the new music being written and hearing what Andy’s bringing to the table, we’re definitely confident we’re gonna come out swinging.”

Doling also revealed that they initially didn’t have plans for new music:

“No, it wasn’t always the plan. We started touring and we realized how great he is. So we tried a couple of songs and it went so well, we just kept writing.”

Fahnestock also chimed in:

“Mikey and I had been tracking music for eight years. And then we just had it in our back pocket. And we always knew if somebody could bring something to what we’ve written… Otherwise we’re, like, ‘Well, I guess we’ve got a bunch of instrumentals until we find somebody.’”

Doling added:

“We knew once we did the first song with Andy, we could do a record. So we’ve been chipping away at it.”
