Snarls

Columbus-based Snarls are refining a specific brand of midwestern romanticism, trading the basement-show grit of their debut for a polished, widescreen alt-rock sound. It’s too heavy for bedroom pop and too melodic for the emo revival, landing instead in a lush space that recalls the best of nineties college radio. We’re seeing a focused uptick in high-tier editorial placement on Spotify, suggesting a shift from regional favorites to a broader priority. Watch for their upcoming LP to confirm if they can anchor this new sonic scale.
