SNOT

SNOT is an American punk band from Santa Barbara, California, originally formed in 1995. Known for blending punk rock, hardcore, and funk influences, featured Lynn Strait as the charismatic lead vocalist, along with the lead guitarist Mikey Doling, bassist John Fahnestock, drummer Jamie Miller, and later, Sonny Mayo on guitar. SNOT brought an edgy, high-energy sound to the late ’90s music scene. The first full-length album, Get Some, released in 1997, became iconic for its aggressive sound and Strait’s raw, confrontational lyrics. The album received praise for its energy and distinctive fusion of punk and metal elements, positioning SNOT as part of the emerging nu-metal scene, alongside bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit, with whom they often shared the stage. Unfortunately, the band’s career was cut short in 1998 when Lynn Strait tragically died in a car accident, along with his dog, Dobbs, who was featured on the cover of Get Some.

Following Strait’s death, the band dissolved, but SNOT’s impact continued, and SNOT developed a devoted cult following. In 2000, Mikey Doling produced Strait Up, a tribute album that featured guest vocalists from various bands performing unreleased SNOT tracks as a tribute to Strait’s memory. Over the years, SNOT’s music has maintained its influence within the punk and metal communities as the legendary punk band. In 2025, SNOT decided to return to the scene with the new singer. SNOT will appear the festivals and shows for the royal fans and the new generation. GET SOME, SNOT IS BACK!
