Snowden started out in Jordan Jeffares' bedroom, where he recorded demos. Snowden self released The Snowden EP, which was received with immense local success. They landed spots opening for groups such as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Arcade Fire. In 2006, Jade Tree signed the band and released their debut album "Anti-Anti." The album gained immediate attention, as evidenced by its making the "most blogged" band on the internet Colour Revolt Starting with the obvious: theres a lot of guitars in Colour Revolt. But theyre not dumb guitars, thats what Im saying. Its pretty sometimes, sure, but it doesnt do to leave gorgeous alone, and sometimes you have to punch the blushing bride in the face, you the low-hearted puggish bridesmaid with nary a suitor.
