Snooper Announce Bold New Album ‘Worldwide’ And Share Genre-Blending Title Track

Nashville’s chaotic punk experimentalists Snooper have announced their second album Worldwide, due for release on 3rd October via Third Man Records. Alongside the announcement, the band have unveiled its lead single and title track — a dizzying, genre-warping evolution of their no-holds-barred sound that signals a bold new era.

Snooper (Blaire Beamer)

Since forming as a lo-fi duo of guitarist Connor Cummins and vocalist/visual artist Blair Tramel, Snooper have erupted from their DIY roots to become one of the most exciting underground acts to emerge from the American punk scene in recent years. Now rounded out by bassist Happy Haugen, drummer Brad Barteau, and guitarist Conner Sullivan, the group’s frantic live energy and fearless experimentation has earned them cult status across the globe.

Their 2023 debut Super Snõõper was a feral burst of adrenaline — a compilation of road-tested tracks recorded and reimagined in the studio. But Worldwide, written in fits and starts between international tours and day jobs, is a deliberate, dynamic step forward. The band describe it as their “true debut,” born from a hunger for growth and a curious new relationship with a drum machine.

The album’s lead single, Worldwide, sets the tone with pounding urgency and infectious, off-kilter rhythm. Built on Cummins’ newfound focus on repetition and groove, the track marks Snooper’s stylistic flirtation with dance music — but retains all the bite of their punk foundation. Tramel’s commanding vocals bounce across the beat: “Push pull / Side to side / This way / That way / Can’t decide / Pressure!” The line, she notes, is partly inspired by hydraulic press videos on YouTube — a fitting metaphor for the pressure the band has felt as their profile has surged.

The song’s release comes with a kinetic visual that captures the band’s DIY spirit and flair for hyperactive performance art — a fusion that continues to define Snooper’s unique identity.

Snooper’s musical transformation was accelerated by a surprise trip to Los Angeles earlier this year to work with producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen). Though the band had never worked with a producer before, Congleton’s involvement proved vital, pushing the group into new sonic territory without compromising their wild essence. “The whole idea behind this record was experimentation and change,” says Cummins.

And change is certainly at the core of Worldwide. While still furious and fast-paced, the album leans into melody and structure, guided by Tramel’s increasingly personal lyricism. Where Super Snõõper thrived on randomness and absurdist imagery, Worldwide channels angst, displacement, and empowerment — a reflection of the emotional chaos behind their rapid rise.

As the band continues to straddle scenes — playing with everyone from Machine Girl to Basement — Snooper are embracing their own fluidity, eschewing labels and leaning into what makes them distinct. Their restlessness has become their identity, and Worldwide is their boldest statement yet: a punk record with a pulse that spans genres, continents, and emotional extremes.

Snooper will bring their electrifying live show to North America this autumn as support for The Hives, further cementing their reputation as one of punk’s most unpredictable and unmissable acts.
