The task: to explain to the uninitiated as well as those in the know what the Snipehunt CD sounds like. Mission impossible. A discourse on quantum physics would probably make more sense. Weird, obviously, is a given. Reading the lyrics and listening to the stunning vocals and indescribable slap-and-slash bass, one gets the sense that they are completely immersed in a strange world. Though the CD doesn't exclude the average listener (everyone is welcome!), those without an open mind will certainly feel as if they're missing the punch line of a particularly hilarious in-joke. Lovable and bizarre, 'We'll be right back' is a much fuller CD than the band's previously unreleased CD (the previous CD was banned after a Pat Robertson supporter witnessed the live version of 'Sonata No. 43 in E flat) There is definately a place in every collector's vault for one of these gems. This band rulz!

What a strange and enjoyable break from the norm! Really reminds me of Frank Zappa Really calmed down,with a sprinkle of Canned Heat,a dash of Muddy Waters,Ted Nuggent and a splash of Samba and Aferican Music into one hell've an album!!! Way to go guy's!! Where do we get tickets to see You all live??? Really excelent!!!

"We'll be right back!," by Snipe Hunt is a welcome change from the reincarnated "New Kids on the Block" bands that have inundated todays music scene. These guys obviously drink beer, eat red meat, and check out hot women, while the current "Boy Bands" sip bottled water, eat tofu, and check out each other's hair.
You get the feeling Snipe Hunt is having fun, but there are messages in their music. Politics, social structure are mixed in with an eclectic musical blend that will either move you to protest or just ... ... Either way, you cannot deny "We'll be right back!" had no effect on you.
Having heard the CD at the counterculture art festival known as "Burningman," I also camped with Walt Ehresman of Snipe Hunt. I bribed one of the local radio station DJ's with beer so we could hear Snipe Hunt on the air. Turns out she cut one of the songs short because "the guitar solo was too long." Anyway, the CD technically had some airplay and it fit in with Burningman tenet of "Radical Self Expression," while others believe it was "Leave No Trace."
Take it or leave it, "We'll be right back!" makes you think about stuff in general. Stuff like the government, the environment, and about how many beers you can drink while eating a blood-red steak.

Engaging blend of musical styles. Intelligent tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Anxiously awaiting live version of Snipe Hunt Sonata No. 43 in E flat.

"These boys are unwell, a fact made all the more disturbing by my certainty that they will soon be IN CONTROL around here. To avoid dire retribution during their evil reign, I now enthusiastically give them five stars. Children should only use under proper supervision. I have found this CD to be a great comfort to me while carp fishing and pondering the infinite."

This band rocks. They got a really good bass player! They play a lot of different styles, and they got a cool sense of humor. The CD is a full 70 minutes of pure Snipe Hunting.
