Violations (Blk)

Violations follows Snapped Ankles debut album Come Play The Trees - a blistering covers EP of popular hits of the forest. Famed in mediaeval folklore, it has been suggested that the woodwose represent the opposite of civilisation. Outcasts at the fringes of society that place inhabited by hunters, criminals, religious hermits, herdsmen and others who operate on the margins. That place where rock and roll found it's voice, long before it's inevitable commodification. On Violations, Snapped Ankles dare to show their hand. Here are the records and artists that shaped them. Outsider music. Recreated on logs and drums and rusty wire. Shot through with tetanus, electricity and bile. Society is on the verge of collapse. Get out while you still can.
