As the name suggests, the tracks that make up Snapped Ankles’ Hard Times Furious Dancing album were designed for live performance. Or more specifically to make people move as if their lives depend on it. Honed at the band’s Forest Rayve club nights throughout 2024 and released in 2025 - it marked a new era for the woodwose.
Battle cries echo through the forest - “People of principle rise up!” As you approach the clearing, you can feel the bass through your feet and in your chest. Green lasers cut through the mist as gabba breaks collide with rabid howls. It’s a heaving sweaty mess. There’s no time to think before you’re onto the next one. Hands in the air, woodwose in the crowd, head torches set to stun.
