Describing their sound as ‘doomsday foot-tappers for fellow hippies’, Brighton’s Snake Eyes release their long-awaited debut album ‘Cash Rich’ via Alcopop! Records on 6 March, 2026. This record is almost 6 years in the making and follows two incredible EPs and a whole host of shows supporting the likes of The Xcerts, You Me At Six and Dinosaur Pile-up.

The band are renowned for their socio-political activism and the songs here promise to live up to the talk, with the band saying: ‘We want to be a voice of positivity and share the love in what feels like a very negative time’. The album kicks off with ‘Jar Full of Wasps’, a song powered by Dinosaur Pile-up style hooks that will roar around your head for hours after. It’s also got some instantly relatable yet defiant lyrics: ‘Be my friend or be an enemy, it don’t bother me’. Previous single and live favourite ‘No Cars follows in sharp and short fashion, blending bouncy Britpop melody with gritty riffs. This continues through to ‘The Kicker’, a song that reminded us of ‘Advert’-era Blur with its thoughts on the world today and repeat of the word ‘helpless’.

‘HDTV’ has lyrics about love and hate running through your brain while you try to find comfort in familiar places, before ‘I’m a Daydream’ heads into a looser place with more pensive sounds behind the vocals. ‘Slugs’ has a more gentle guitar tone to start as the duo sing about ‘Slugs and stuff surrounding us’ before heading into a Kraftwerk-esque sound with electric drums at the fore. ‘Hug Me’ does what it says in the title – but amidst a slew of danceable riffs and punk-rock attitude: ‘H-U-G M-E!’

The band also sing about soup, headaches and shooting for the stars across the record, before finishing with the slower ‘Robot Boy’. A song that took us back to the Britrock greats of the turn of the millennium and when they turned things down (think Reuben’s ‘Boy’), it finds Snake Eyes focusing on broken hearts, how ‘I don’t feel nothing at all’ and how ‘I guess I’m just a little robot’.

‘Cash Rich’ is an album that has plenty to say about the world we live in today and all its faults and horrors, while also acknowledging how important it is to feel alive – whether you have money to spare or not.
