INTRODUCTION:
What’s up everyone?
Welcome to the first issue of Snail Trail! We’re here to help spread the word on
underground music and art that seems to get lost in the digital era. It’s easy
to scroll past flyers and links to songs to when they’re readily available all
the time. Like, who the fuck are these people and why should I care anyway?
Well, if you’re reading this then you probably give some kind of fucks about
underground music and art and this is exactly where you’re going to find out
who the fuck some of these people are. Basically, Brain Fragment plays a shit
ton of gigs and we’ll be covering updates on ourselves as well as what’s going
on with other underground artists we play with!! But the only way to really
know is to check it all out for yourself. So go to shows, listen to music and
get involved!!

REVIEWS!!!
Downtown
Brown:
Funk, punk, rock and metal
all rolled into one hilarious package!! These guys are some seriously skilled
musicians with influences from multiple backgrounds. It’s very apparent that
they love what they do. Each member exerts so much energy on stage and yet they
don’t take themselves seriously. It’s a musical explosion of fun from beginning
to end. On the surface you get dick jokes and self deprecating humor
accompanied by skillful playing and well thought out song compositions with
attention to detail. Downtown Brown is a band truly loves what they do; it’s
music for the sake of music, art for the sake of art, humor for the sake of
humor, fun for the sake of fun.
Rock 'N' Roll Suicides:
Take it back to the late ‘70s with
this band!!! Heavily influenced by the origins of LA punk this band’s live
performance is like something you’ve only read about. It’s melodic and
energetic with a bounce. It’s like a controlled fury that makes you want to
jump up and down!! With catchy old school punk rock riffs accompanied by
heartfelt lyrics about their own lives and experiences you’ll want to dance and
sing along. They’re A fun band with an obvious passion for early punk rock that
is not to be missed. Get out to one of their shows and grab a beer with the
Rock ‘N’ Roll Suicides!!
Vivo Muerto:
Heavy, hard hitting and furious, these guys are a gnarly
combination of hardcore and grindcore!! If you find yourself in Coachella
Valley then you need to go check these dudes out. Their performance is like an
intense release of face shattering ferocity that’s just so satisfying. If
you’re a fan of circle pits and raw, aggressive music then these guys are a
must. They’re always playing in the Coachella Valley and are an extremely good
reason to visit the area. If you already
live in the area the get the fuck out to one of their shows and slam around to
Vivo Muerto!!
