LIVING IN SIN With SNAKE BITE WHISKY

Interview by Kris Peters
Brisbane sleaze rock outfit Snake Bite Whisky have been terrorizing
the airwaves since 2014, along the way releasing two albums in This
Side Of Hell and Black Candy.
Their crossover appeal, coupled with an energetic live performance
and precision playing, has seen the band make inroads overseas,
particularly the seedier side of LA where their particular brand of
rock was nurtured and grown.
With the recent arrival of two new guitarists and an opportunity to
join the roster of growing Australian label XMusic, Snake Bite
Whisky have embarked on the next stage of their musical journey
which has already promised so much and seems set to reach new
elevated heights with the release of some new material, spearheaded
by the mellower love song of sorts called Living To Die which is
out now.
Coming together from the ashes of a song started over 30 years ago,
Living To Die showcases a softer side to Snake Bite Whisky while
maintaining their trademark sound and loud guitars. It is not a new
direction for the band per se, rather a revealing of another string
to their musical bow that will appeal to fans both old and
new.
HEAVY sat down recently with the band from rehearsal to find out
more.
"It's been a long journey," guitarist Scuba Steve sighed when we
asked how they are feeling about having Living To Die unleashed on
the world. "It's been a long time in the making, and a lot of work
and effort has gone into it, and it's come out the other side
exactly how we wanted it. Actually, better than we thought."
In the full interview, the boys run us through Living To Die
musically and what they were going for, the personal nature of the
song, the extended intro and the thought process behind it, whether
it is a stand-alone single or part of a bigger picture, the new
members and what they bring to the band, signing with XMusic and
more.
