Smoking Snakes

Band Overview

Smoking Snakes is a Gothenburg-based sleaze metal band that's turning heads and making waves in the rock scene. Formed in 2022, they are the next generation of hard-hitting, guitar-driven rock 'n' roll.

Influenced by the big arena rock bands of the 80s like W.A.S.P, RATT, Dokken, and Kiss, their music is a fresh and modern take on classic sleaze metal. From catchy hooks to heavy riffs and powerful vocals, they've got a sound that's all their own.
