Making waves comes as second nature to Snapped Ankles, who since emerging in 2011 have bewitched fans with their stunning visual appearance and swirling, post-punk sound. To describe this band is to describe a sight one might previously think could only exist in a wild dream; forest creatures, doused in ghillie suits, playing hand-made instruments, strapped to logs – if there was ever a band who knows how to make a memorable show, it’s Snapped Ankles.

Having spread frenzied havoc across continents, the band is set to hit the stage at Stockton’s Georgian Theatre on Sunday 22^nd May in support of their latest album, Forest Of Your Problems. Filled with ancient forest rhythms, electronica, electric guitars and maniacal beats, this music crackles with energy – it’s too hard to resist a dance along to their ecstatic post-punk colours. As a band, their immersive live performances have also become sites of promoting awareness for the destruction of our planet’s ecosystems and the importance of building a world that looks after and values all people and creatures. These messages are pulled together in a free and unconventional musical experience which will have audiences on their feet all night long.
