Snakedoctors – “Why Don’t”
In a world where alternative rock often embraces the gritty, the unpolished, and the emotional, there’s a band that effortlessly captures the essence of the genre while injecting their own brand of raw, live-performance energy. Enter Snakedoctors, a four-piece powerhouse hailing from the enchanting city of Gdansk, Poland. Formed in May of 2020, these four friends have been on a relentless journey, weaving their sonic tapestry with twenty-four singles, four albums, and a handful of surprises.

Snakedoctors have masterfully crafted “Why Don’t” to be an alternative rock anthem that packs a punch, evoking a blend of captivating melodies and electrifying instrumentals. Anchored by a driving mid-tempo drumbeat and an onslaught of crushing, overdriven guitars, the song creates a sonic forcefield that envelops listeners in its unyielding grip.
But it’s the hauntingly melodic vocals that truly elevate the narrative, casting a shadow of melancholy and introspection over the entire track. With every note, Snakedoctors skillfully embody the essence of their genre, staying true to their roots while crafting a sound that resonates with both authenticity and innovation.
For “Why Don’t,” Snakedoctors joined forces with the extraordinary Nik Hughes, the formidable drummer of the legendary band Bush.

Recorded at the esteemed Osso Studio, the track received the meticulous attention it deserved, ensuring that every instrument and vocal nuance was captured with pristine clarity.
Further mastering duties were entrusted to the illustrious Stephen Marcussen, the same sonic sorcerer who sprinkled his magic over Snakedoctors’ latest album. With Marcussen’s expert touch, “Why Don’t” shines brighter than ever, ready to captivate audiences with its sonic grandeur.
