Album Review: Vital punk rock on new Subpar Snatch EP Get In Here

Mike Cosmic Cota

The Austin music scene is undeniably alive and thriving, and Subpar Snatch is a vital artery pumping punk rock through its veins. The group is releasing their latest EP Get In Here on June 20. This combustible trio, led by Jess Scott on vocals, Nate Ribner on bass, and CeeCee Email on drums is renowned for their high energy, raw, and unapologetic take on garage punk. Established in 2022, they quickly built a reputation for their raucous live performances, provocative lyrics, and a powerful sound that proves no guitars are needed.
