“an incomparable live experience” – James Kilkenny, Backseat Mafia
Snapped Ankles’ music channels the sounds and aesthetics of Dance Punk but moves the genre from its metropolitan roots into the natural world. Hypnotic rhythms are set against synthesized melodies, chants and abstract sound design to create Snapped Ankle’s ‘Forest Rayve’ sound.
“Primal, cathartic, didactic, euphoric” – Joyzine
“They sound almost nothing like anyone else” – The Guardian
Their last release Forest Of Your Problems had the woodwose bring their ancient forest rhythms and high-wire, multi-media live act to ever bigger stages – including Camden’s iconic Roundhouse and SXSWand Desert Daze festivals – and 2025’s tour for Hard Times Furious Dancing will see their most extensive UK and European tour to date, including a London show at legendary nightclub Fabric. Hard Times Furious Dancing showcases the ‘Forest Rayve’ sound they’ve been road-testing at their club nights and select shows in 2024.
“Their message might be serious, but they don’t take themselves too seriously. And mostly, it’s just f**king cool” – Post Trash
They came from the trees and, although they are now settled in fertile east London, Snapped Ankles maintain the feral energy of the forest.
“Snapped Ankles make music to soundtrack the apocalypse, and you can’t help simply sitting and enjoying the ride” – Line of Best Fit
