Snail formed in 1992 consisting of singer Mark Johnson (The Crucified, Blessing the Hogs), bassist Matt Lynch (Plugusher) and drummer Marty Dodson; ex-members of the sludge/doom band P.A.S.T.E. and The Puppycats (at that time). After recording and shopping their first demo they were offered a 4-album deal by Big Deal Records in 1993. That year they recorded their self-titled album with help from producer Jonathan Burnside (Melvins, Nirvana, Steelpole Bathtub) at Razor's Edge Studio in San Francisco, CA. The album was well received by critics and garnered much praise from magazines such as Magnet, Alternative Press and BAM. Snail's second release was a 5-song EP called "All Channels Are Open." The EP was recorded on a lowly 4-track in the hopes of capturing Snail's dynamic low-fi presence. Subsequent to the release of the EP, Snail sadly succombed to the "sex, drugs, and Rock n Roll" lifestyle and eroded to the point of breaking up. The worst part was that they had a complete second album recorded on 4track and was ready to bring it into the studio. Fast forward to 2007 - Snail has been resurrected (the original lineup) and is in the studio recording the lost 2nd album. Stay tuned. Matt Lynch (Bass), Marty Dodson (Drums), Eric Clausen (Guitar), Mark Johnson (Guitar, Vocals). Eric Clausen (ex-Buzzwurd) has joined Snail!
