Snake Flower 2

Snake Flower 2's debut album, Renegade Daydream, preaches the way of dusty highways, dialing up the volume, and flooring it to ninety just as well as The Stones or Steppenwolf. These lo-fi San Fransisco rockers could give any teenager the motivation to liberate themselves from the confides of society as well as any playing in the sixties. Matthew Melton, the lead singer and guitarist of the trio, says that Renegade Daydream is basically ""the first batch of songs I wrote after I escaped from the South (Memphis)."

Back in his formidable years Matthew Melton, grew up playing in various garage punk bands alongside others of the scene like Jay Reatard, who Mathew Melton later came to photograph with blood dripping down his chin for the album cover of Blood Visions. On making his way towards his "illusive California dream" Matthew left everything and moved west. Surrounded on every side by the sense of "new", Matthew forged Snake Flower (1) and with it his first romance on the west coast with fellow band member "bunny". This later fell through and after their first tour the band split. But the group was able to converge back together again (Snake Flower 2), minus "bunny", and Matthew set to writing about "the world-weary stature gained throughout the course of a firey succession of trials and errors."
