YEARS ACTIVE: 2001 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Snake Bite" appears to be a song about finding someone in life that allows you to open up and be yourself. The vocalist struggled with keeping his pain and his emotions and feelings inside. But now he understands that the love from this person in his life has allowed him to free himself from bottling everything up inside and to open his heart and his emotions. It's allowed him to finally breathe in his own skin.

MY THOUGHTS ON SENSES FAIL:
Senses Fail formed as a band back in 2001, hailing from Ridgewood, New Jersey. Lead vocalist Buddy Nielsen recruited members by posting an advertisement and eventually getting enough people together to form the band. Their first release would be an EP in 2002 titled "From The Depths Of Dreams". The band caught the ear of Vagrant Records who formed a 6 year relationship with the band. The band's debut full length came in 2004, entitled "Let It Enfold You". Early on the band caught some buzz, touring with the likes of The Used, My Chemical Romance and Finch to name a few, as well as jumping on the Warped Tour. In 2006, the band dropped their sophomore effort, "Still Searching". This would prove to be their highest charting album. 2008's "Life Is Not A Waiting Room" and 2010's "The Fire" would finish up the band's work on Vagrant Records. 2013's "Renacer" is probably the band's heaviest release, incorporating lots of screaming vocals. In 2015, the band signed a deal with Pure Noise Records and released "Pull The Thorns From Your Heart". The band's most recent release was 2018's "If There Is Light, It Will Find You". Word has it that the band has another new album in the works tentatively titled "What The Thunder Said, Hell Is In Your Head". This album is supposedly set for release in late 2021. Senses Fail is a post-hardcore band that has elements of screamo and pop punk as well. These guys have been pretty consistent with their releases and relentless with their touring. At it's core, this is lead vocalist Buddy Nielsen's baby. There have been many line-up changes but Nielsen has been the constant as singer and songwriter. Senses Fail is one of those bands that incorporates screaming and clean vocals. Some albums are split down the middle that way, others favor one or the other more. I first heard of Senses Fail back in 2004 when I heard the song "Buried A Lie". I'm pretty sure it was "Calling All Cars" from their second album "Still Searching" that cemented me as a fan.
