Today, Snooper release their highly anticipated new album, Worldwide, on Third Man Records. The band will celebrate with a hometown album release show tonight in Nashville at Eastside Bowl before reuniting with The Hives for their European tour kicking off later this month. A full list of dates is below and tickets are on sale now.

In conjunction with the release of Worldwide, Snooper unveil the wild video for album standout, “Star *69.” Vocalist Blair Tramel comments: “‘Star *69’ is about seeking reassurance. It’s about calling out to others only to hear your own voice echoing back. An experience that can be terrifying or empowering- depending on the way you’re talking about yourself! It’s a reminder that what you put out comes back to you. The video is inspired by our love of Halloween and campy horror. Trick or treat!”

Over the past few years, Snooper — founded by guitarist Connor Cummins and Tramel — have rocketed from DIY scene stalwarts to widespread adoration in the international underground music scene. The project evolved well beyond anything Tramel and Cummins had originally imagined and faster than they could track, resulting in disorientation as much as exhilaration. Worldwide extends directly from the festering punk the band first made their name on, but documents Snooper becoming bolder, catchier, and more confident.

Snooper — rounded out by bassist Happy Haugen, drummer Brad Barteau, and guitarist Conner Sullivan — recorded Worldwide with John Congleton (St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen, Explosions in the Sky). Though Snooper had never previously considered working with a producer, Congleton was a fan and the band reflects on the process as being integral to their growth as artists. “The whole idea behind this record was experimentation and change,” Cummins says.

Though no less furious or propulsive than Snooper’s more guitar-driven beginnings, Worldwide may surprise longtime fans. Given they began on a drum machine, Cummins’ initial compositions had a newfound focus on rhythm and repetition. Where their 2023 debut Super Snõõper was intended as a pure representation of Snooper’s feral live show, Worldwide blends intensity with Tramel’s earworm melodic sensibility. Showcasing their most adventurous and unshakeable music to date, Worldwide is a portrait of a band truly coming into their own.
