Bio

Formed while at least one member was under the influence of a number of substances, Troy the Snail is a 4 piece pop-punk superstar group waiting to happen. With Shane on vocals/guitar, James on guitar, Nick on bass and the lovely new Paul on drums, how could they go wrong?? Moviestar good looks! Unbelievable talent! A great big piece of cardboard with "Troy the Snail" spraypainted on it! What more could you ask for in a band?

Based in Auckland, Troy the Snail was formed in 2003. With influences such as New Found Glory, Blink 182, Yellowcard, NOFX, The Matches and Something Corporate, these energetic boys have played with bands such as New Ending, The Rabble, Full Nelson, Quarter 2 and 48 May.

With a name sure to be remembered (and confuse people) this outstandingly talented pop-punk band with a dedicated fan base and great onstage energy is definitely going places (not necessarily good places - but they are going somewhere).

Troy The Snail have just finished doing a proper recording in studio. 'We're On Our Own' is fast-paced, catchy punk-pop. You can find this on RTT Records Unearned Income compilation.

Troy the Snail are experiencing a big change lately - with their new drummer Paul and a new singer in the works, Troy the Snail are morphing into *drum roll please* a mighty piano band. Look out for a name change too.

Check out their new song 'Astronaut' on their Myspace page.
