SNUB is a British metal-core band. Between 1995 and 2004, SNUB produced some great metal/hardcore tunes ranging from harsh to harsher, touring the UK and abroad, with 2 albums and 2 EPs. Snub has been releasing pent-up aggression since its first tentative steps in March 1995, through its solidification as a 5-piece in September 1997, to its current 4-man lineup in 2003. Three well received demo releases secured the band a signing to fast-rising independent label Copro Records, followed by release of the MCD '360 Degree Conviction' line-up:James Iaciofano/Martin Jeffery/Ian Field Richards/Vinnie Edmonds/Simon Smith, in early 1998. The band then went on UK tours, including those with labelmates Earthtone9, Swedish metallers Misery Loves Co. and British noise merchants Tribute To Nothing, the latter two tours being Metal Hammer sponsored - and in promotion of Snub's debut full length album - 'Memories In Richter' line-up: James Iaciofano/Martin Jeffery/Ian Field Richards/Vinnie Edmonds/Simon Smith, (produced by Dave Chang and released in March 2000). Two lineup changes in 2000 temporarily saw the band writing and performing as a 4-piece, the lineup returning to its full strength towards the end of the year, only to find itself disintegrating into nothing at all at the end of March 2001 following the departure of three of its five members! However, in October 2001 the band re-grouped and ventured into the studio in December 2001 to record its latest offering - the ep 'The Harvest' line-up: James Iaciofano/Martin Jeffery/Vinnie Edmonds/Simon Smith/Martyn Aslett, - released through Copro Records in May 2002. Further lineup changes sees the band now permanently settled as a 4-piece, with members James Iaciofano (Choff) on vocals, Martin Jeffery on bass & backing vocals, Martyn Aslett on guitar and Luke Duffield on drums completing the new lineup (Luke was Snub's very first drummer back in 1996). Snub have since released their swansong album 'Why build bridges when you can burn them' through Manmade Records to critical acclaim from the British music press. Although officially disbanded, Snub have recently been gigging at the request of other UK bands and fans alike - with the line-up of Iaciofano/Jeffery/Smith/Aslett and Duffield.
