Sam Snyder

"Overhand Sam" from Mark Czelusniak on Vimeo.



"This "three-man band from No Man's Land" (Wayne County to you and me) gravitates to the most flashy aspects of progressive rock, nu jazz, and hippie jams. And why not? It's about time someone shook off the thick cobwebs of cliche that hang over all three of those genres. Where other bands who tear into their music with such shameless abandon might sound inexperienced and naive, Trio Fatale's youthful exuberance works in its favor. Guitarist Sam Snyder isn't shy with the distortion as he sprinkles a healthy dose of straight rock into the mix. He and his bandmates play with the attitude of a gang of cowboys, which makes for a spirited, refreshingly irreverent take on some musical styles that could sorely use some of their bad-boy swagger."
