Hackney born and Colchester based he returns with a cheeky new single Here Come The Freaks. 

Written, recorded and self-produced by Johnno in the middle of recording a new Snippet album, this song just didn't seem comfortable being sat between two tracks on an album, so it busted out in its own right. 

Here Come The Freaks is in celebration of the picked upon, the bullied and the under-appreciated members of society.

Former caretaker, London Underground railman and relationship manager Johnno Casson aka Snippet started out writing songs at 15 in his bedroom on a Hackney council estate with a tennis racket for a guitar and a soap-on-a-rope microphone.

Johnno juggled being in a band with holding down a normal job (playing a packed Astoria at night and washing out s**t stained lifts in the morning).

Johnno played for Adrian Sherwood’s (On-U-Sound) 5-a-side football team (silky smooth striker), gloriously beating The Sun’s newspaper’s team at a championship for charity at Arsenal’s old Highbury stadium and for the last 12 years he has been perfecting his coleslaw making skills whilst getting M.E and becoming a well-respected figurehead on the British D.I.Y./Wonky Pop scene by making excellent songs that may come from the borders and margins, but kiss you in the sweet spot as good as more mainstream songs do. 

Oh and Johnno has recorded and toured extensively with all sorts of bands including as lead singer with Deep Joy who were born out of the early 90’s London acid house/club scene - via Shoom nightclub and being named as Danny
Rampling’s favourite band, working with David Harrow and Andrew Weatherall who produced and remixed their debut single on Brainiak Records - onto the early years of trip-hop on James Lavelle’s Mo ‘Wax label and being championed by Gilles Peterson on Kiss FM. 

They dented the charts in New York, Tokyo and London and also worked
with the aforementioned legendary On-U-Sound label founder and producer Adrian Sherwood on their Ray Hayden produced material.

For the last 12 years Johnno has been releasing independent music under his own name, as Snippet, Old Tramp and Walken400, creating a unique catalogue of recordings and performances and has been named by Tom Robinson as the most played BBC Introducing artist ever on his BBC 6 Music show. 

He also the founder/producer of the Warm and Toasty Club, an innovative  and award winning club that uses delightful live events to make older folk feel cherished and less lonely. Of late the club has kept people connected throughout lockdown with 70 online chat shows with fun features and live singing guests (called Online Memory Afternoons), a monthly Warm and Toasty Newsletter and a daily telephone befriending service to help keep loneliness and isolation at bay and keep people connected.

“I feel about Snippet much like John Peel felt about The Fall - Snippet: A National Indie treasure”

Here Come The Freaks

Dead men dancing in space
Hung amongst stars
Where have they come from?
Will they go very far?
Watch out the window
Watch as they spin
One two three, one two three, one

Clasped in embrace 
Tie upon tie 
Suit jacket straightened 
Glassy eye to glassy eye 
Take a breath in 
Hold it forever 
One two three, one two three, one 

Dead men
Dancing forever
Oh dead men
Do you see heaven?
Ah dead men
Teach me to dance like you
Dead men
Dance at your leisure 
For dead men
Time holds no pressure 
Ah dead men
Teach me to one two three, too

Tell me you love me
Tell me you’re tired
Tell me you like it
So close to the wire
Betrayed me in some way
Haven’t yet worked out how
One two three, one two three, one

What’s left of a waltz when the heartbeat is gone?
What’s left of a song when no one sings along?
How am I frozen so close to the sun?
Are we spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning?

Dead men dancing in space
Clinging to stars
I know where you’ve come from
Will you go very far?
Is a day on Venus 
Worth a life on Mars?
One two three, one two three, one 

Dead men
Dancing forever (Dancing forever)
Oh dead men
Do you see heaven?
Ah dead men
Teach me to dance like you
Dead men
You can dance at your leisure (Dance at your leisure)
For dead men
Time holds no pressure 
Ah dead men
Teach me to one two three, too
Teach me to one two three

Dead Men Dancing

Coupdekat combines hyper and indie pop in her ultra
catchy new single 'lost in translation’. Running with 
the theme of online dating, she explores the pitfalls of 
dating someone from a different country, and the inevitable 
cultural and language confusion that arises. A mouth piece of the 
phone generation, she speaks of using her phone as the third 
person in the relationship, the modern chaperone, providing the 
translation. Throwing COVID and Brexit into the mix, these star 
cross lovers seem destined to be kept apart. Once again, 
Coupdekat provides us with a glimps into the many fustrations of a
modern relationship.

Former caretaker, London Underground railman and local council relationship manager Johnno Casson aka Snippet started out writing songs at 15 in his bedroom on a Hackney council estate with a tennis racket for a guitar and a soap-on-a-rope microphone.

Johnno played for Adrian Sherwood’s (On-USound) 5-a-side football team (silky smooth striker), gloriously beating The Sun newspaper’s team at a championship for charity at Arsenal’s stadium, and for the last 12 years he has been perfecting his coleslaw making skills, whilst getting M.E and becoming a well respected figurehead on the British D.I.Y./Wonky Pop scene.
