diego snail is unable to describe what we do, here are some comments people have made after a gig...

"Deliciously different"

- bassists mum

"Theatrical as f$%k, nobody dares do that anymore, but you guys did. SICK!"

- Mike, The Lost Rites

"Doing the sound for you guys is impossible, my head nearly exploded"

- The sound guy at The New Roscoe, Leeds

"So, I guess you like Pink Floyd then..."

- MC at The DNE, Wakefield

''On my list of must sees is a fabulous experimental prog-rock band from Leeds called Diego Snail, innovators of using the not so obvious rock instruments, their six member group hosts an electric viola which makes their music uniquely original. Diego Snail's songs go from one extreme to another, churning out big, heavy riffs alongside smooth mellow melodies, amazing stage presence and a delight to the ear – definitely worth seeing live! ''
