Back when they were teens in their hometown of Birmingham, Alabama, they formed a band called The Ackleys and then another called P.S. Eliot. As Snocaps, they bring Southern-countrified rock \u2018n\u2019 roll to the masses, with a healthy dose of power-pop oomph balancing each sister\u2019s personal tastes.<\/p>\n On tracks like \u201cAvalanche,\u201d you can hear how they blend magically, right down to their harmonizing voices. And with MJ Lenderman and Brad Cook in tow, it all sounds fully realized in a way that\u2019s just super satisfying.<\/p>\n Get that satisfaction by catching \u201cAvalance\u201d from Snocaps in the playlist of this episode, which is available for your listening enjoyment via the player at the top of the page.
