Quick chat with Brev Sullivan of Snakebite

February 5, 2015

We had the pleasure of running into one of our favorite musicians, Brev Sullivan at NAMM 2015. We were so excited to see him and couldn’t wait to get an update from him as to what he is working on. Check out our quick chat with Brev here:   In addition, we got to listen to the new Snakebite album, Feel The Bite. It was great to listen to it on the ride home with several other musicians. The concensus was in, we all LOVED it and it completely rocks. First, there is something about having the actual CD in your and hold that tangible piece of music history. We actually played it several times on our 8 hour drive. It was great to hear it several times and you really get to find new favorites each time. It was old school rock n roll but in way dated. You had passionate vocals, sweet sexy guitars and songs that were soon to become part of my regular playlist. With songs like Rock n Roll Will [Read More]
