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.

Her loves like bee stings, bruising my heart
It always takes my breath away, pulse off the chart
All the meetings and cheating, just tear us apart
Don’t play on those mood swings, sending bee stings to my heart

I’ve got a runny nose and itchy feet
She’s got an upwardly mobile reputation to keep
I’ve got a wing and a prayer and that’s all I need
Getting those goosebumps ,I guess that all I need
(Repeat chorus)
She has a most excellent way of attracting me
She knows I’ve always had a weak spot for delightful company
She’s used to getting what she wants and not being told
Don’t pull on my heart strings
I’m some weakling or fool

God knows not everybody’s perfect
God knows not everybody’s right
We put our heart and soul in black and white
Now it’s driving us up the wall and its taking a heavy toll on both of us

Bee stings

Cold days long gone
Summers here, game on
Party with friends, good feelings never end
Some day’s life just feels so incredible
Sweet days we wish would never end

We luv the sunshine
All day
We raise our glasses 
Held high
We live to party
All night
We live for love
All day

Long day in bad job
They pay me but hate boss
Just when my wits end
Here comes the weekend
Some people love to bathe in misery
We choose to lose ourselves in good

We luv the sunshine
All day
We raise our glasses 
Held high
We live to party
All night
We live for love
All day

We luv the sunshine
All day
We raise our glasses 
Held high
We live to party
All night
We live for love
All day

We luv the sunshine
All day

Held high
We live to party
All night
We live for love

This is music to lift your spirits & put a spring in your step. 

Snippet is the work of one man – Johnno Casson. Johnno cut his musical teeth as lead singer of trip hop pioneers Deep Joy, working with the likes of Andrew Weatherall (Primal Scream), James Lavelle (Mo’ Wax/UNKLE) and Adrian Sherwood (On-U-Sound) and touring extensively – including dates with The Farm. Staggeringly prolific, Johnno releases music under a variety of different names, including his own & Old Tramp in addition to Snippet.

London reared & Colchester based Snippet has been forging a wonderfully vibrant path for the past Six years & has released Two Albums & Four EP’s between 2008-2013 which have attracted a world wide following to this very unique brand of wonky pop music from the leftfield; Bouncy with a dash of folk & a splash of funk.

“Snippet: A National Indie Treasure” 
Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music

“Dry of humour and lo-fi of sound, the skewed pop of Colchester’s Snippet is reminiscent of early Beck.” 
Q Magazine

“Sound of the summer...Pop Genius-9.5/10” Louder Than War

“Touched a nerve, we love it.” 
Rob da Bank BBC Radio 1

We Luv The Sunshine

English Fables Vol.1 is the follow up to 2022’s Chippa.
Available now on Bandcamp https://snippetcuts.bandcamp.com/album/english-fables-vol-1

Recorded at home DIY style with a beaten up old tube mic, a nylon stringed guitar and a set of good intentions, this album is chock full of personality, characters and brimming with life.

On English Fables Vol.1 you’ll find an authentic voice delivering stories of the England he knows, of people and of life – all wrapped in musical grit, bounding knee beats, bouncing guitar refrains and beautiful strings, with some wonderfully oddball songs with hooks to die for (Michael, I Knocked You Off The Ladder, Billy With The Wonky Toe).

And in the tradition of the classic English songbook there are wonderful little original gems to be found like Funny Habits, Tip Of My Tongue, Resting Face and Stop And Enjoy it.
There’s even a guest spot for the velvety tones of Marina Florance.

Behind Johnno’s 'survive life by laughing at life' persona there is a real deeper craftmanship in action here, through his enchanting multi instrumentation and clever lyrical interplay.

There’s also a fearlessness from Johnno in covering his battles with chronic health conditions (The Little Things), toxic masculinity faced growing up on a council estate (Patriarchy Vs A Mothers Love), male violence (Punch), the pollution of our waterways (Pipe Dreams), and mental health challenges (Sometimes Life Is Really).

Track 2 Come On Down was apparently born out of listening sessions with Sleaford Mods, Donald Byrd's New Perspective and Dexy's Midnight Runners, with a splash of 7” inch Northern Soul thrown in for good measure, yet it comes out sounding totally upbeat Snippet, totally Johnno in a top mood.

English Fables – Vol.1 is an album of empathy, compassion and warmth - this is beautiful English outsider art from a thriving DIY cottage industry of really interesting recording artists like Johnno Snippet making special musical moments and new memories to bring joy to people.

Back story - Johnno recorded and toured with bands such as Deep Joy who were born out of the early 90’s London acid house/club scene - working with Andrew Weatherall, David Harrow and onto the early years of trip-hop on James Lavelle’s Mo ‘Wax label and being championed by Gilles Peterson. They dented the charts in New York, Tokyo and London and also worked with legendary On-U-Sound label founder and producer Adrian Sherwood.

Lyrics

Be it day or be it night, always chipper, always bright
As you wait, you wait for a man to come
You show ‘em in, show ‘em out
Meet the kids then chuck him out
As you wait, you wait for the right man to come
I’m free for a date, oh free for a life
Come elevate all these matters of stress and strife
It’s in front of you nose but you just can’t see
When every road you’re travelling leads you right to me

I’m a bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man 
But I do the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can

Made mistakes, paid my dues
the kindest souls can get the blues come on, give this bloke a chance
Patient man, callous hands but a heart that understands
Come on, I won’t be playing you
I can hail at the moon, I can scream at the light
Even tough men want someone to hold at night
I’ve got so much to give and I’m good for my years
Ain’t it just about time that someone dried your tears

I’m a bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man 
But I do the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can

Only hope these words of mine are getting to you
Only hope these words of mine are getting through
We’ll be fine, we’ll be cool, we’ll be right, we’ll be true
Girl it’s time we got together now
Girl it’s time we got together now

I’m a bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man 
But I do the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can

Lyrics

And the light goes dim and the good flows out
And it keeps me wondering, wondering what life’s about
I hit some lows and feel the spin
And it keeps me wondering, wondering how I can win

And when the darkness comes, I haven’t got a clue
I haven’t got protection, falling like a fool
My mind goes spinning round and I feel so bruised
It’ll strip my confidence, dignity, happiness before its through
And I feel the shame of it and I feel the strife
Oh God can you send me a plan for this life

So I reach for light to find my cure
Too tired of stumbling, stumbling, stumbling through the door

All I wanted, all I needed, all I got was nothing
All we hoped for, all we prayed for and all we got was nothing

I’ve had enough of my fickle foe
Too long been following, following everywhere I go
So I try to be kind and try to do good
No one warned me what I’d find in adulthood

So I reach for hope because it feels like home
Too long been stumbling, stumbling, stumbling on my own
So I turn to you to let me in, I’d rather just be poor and free than in a spin

And the good will out and a change will come and stop me worrying, worrying, worrying everyone
And I turn to you, my heart is flickering 
I’m wondering, wondering is this the end

The back story

For the last 16 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 having been named by Tom Robinson as the most played BBC Introducing artist ever on his BBC 6 Music show, Johnno has continued to release vibrant music with plenty of bounce to the ounce.

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.

Johnno also runs the award winning community group The Warm and Toasty Club, running special live events for the last 9 years www.facebook.com/thewarmandtoastyclub
