Regarding how the band’s comeback happened, Mikey said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Well, let’s see. About a year ago, I was seeing the festivals that were coming in 2024, and I was noticing there were so many bands out there from our genre. You have the COAL CHAMBERs, the MUDVAYNEs and just so many bands out there killing it. And I’m sitting there thinking, ‘Man, SNOT, it’s time that we get on board with this.’ So I talked to the dudes. We didn’t even have a singer at that point. So anyway, so I reached out to the band and said, ‘Hey, man, I think we should find a singer and play some festivals and have some fun.’ And they were, like, ‘Yeah, well, we’re in if you can find us the right singer.’ So, I looked around for a while. I had no luck. But I kept looking. And then I reached out to Alex Gilbert over at TKO — it’s our booking agency — and I asked him, I said, ‘Hey, man, I’m currently looking for a vocalist. And if I put all this work into putting SNOT back together, would you be interested in booking some shows and festivals for us?’ And he said, ‘I’ll put the feelers out there and let’s see how it goes.’ So, a year went by. I didn’t hear anything back. I kind of thought, ‘All right. No interest.’ So about three months ago, Alex called me. So I’m looking at my phone, like, ‘Whoa, it’s Alex from TKO.’ I answered and I asked him how he’s doing. And he said, ‘Hey, man, I’m getting a lot of interest for SNOT. It’s a lot. Everybody I talk to wants the band.’ So I told him, ‘Look, man, we’re into it.’ I didn’t even let him know we didn’t have a singer yet at that point. And I said, ‘Let me get back to you. I’ll talk to the guys.’ So I instantly jumped on social media for a little something about looking for a vocalist for SNOT. And I got a lot of response. I got, like, eight videos and audio of dudes who just didn’t fit. What they did is they would sing with the album, ‘Get Some’, and it just didn’t fit. So I almost kind of gave up. And so right there at the end, before I threw the towel in on the whole thing, a friend of mine from Santa Barbara hit me up, texted me and said, ‘Hey, I found the guy for SNOT.’ And, I was, like, ‘Yeah, sure,’ in my mind thinking, ‘Yeah, yeah. Right. Right.’ So I jumped on the phone with him — let’s say it’s a girl, with her — and she said, ‘I saw a guy. He has a band. And he reminded me of Lynn [Strait, late SNOT singer]. It was goosebumps,’ she said. And I said, ‘Cool.’ And Lynn is one of his favorite all-time singers. So, she put me in contact with him. And, again, I asked him, I said, ‘Look, we’re looking for a singer. Do me a favor. Set up a camera, microphone and sing along to ‘Get Some’, our album. And so about three or four days go by and then I get some videos on my phone. So I’m watching the video, and immediately it just punched me in the face how good it was. I was, like, ‘Wow, this is the guy.’ What he did is he set up in front of his — he has a little rehearsal spot, drums and amps, and he put ‘Get Some’ through his P.A. system and he wrapped the cable from the microphone around his arm and laid into it as if he was doing a show. He did, like, five songs and he was absolutely incredible, nailing it. He looks right. He’s got the whole punk vibe that we’re looking for. And he just nailed it, man.”Singing like Lynn Strait is not easy, man. And he absolutely fucking rocked it, to the point where I had to sit down; I was so blown away. And so I immediately contacted Tumor, John Fahnestock, bass player for SNOT. And Tumor, [he is the] best guy in the world, but [he] hates everything. I sent it to him, and he called me right away. He was, like, ‘Dude, holy shit. You found our guy.’ That was the first thing he said. ‘Who is it? Is this real?’ I was, like, ‘It’s real.’ So then I sent it out to the rest of the guys, Jamie and Sonny, and, and yeah, boom, it’s there.”Doling added: “So, I talked to the [singer] guy, which I’m not gonna give up his name yet. I’m gonna keep that on the DL [down low] right now for a while until we start doing some shows. People can figure it out on their own. I don’t want them knowing too much yet. I wanna keep it tight for now. But anyway. So then I contacted Alex at TKO and he started talking to promoters and we’re just getting ‘yes’, ‘yes’, ‘yes’ all over the place right now. And we’re gonna start doing some shows, man.”According to the Los Angeles Times, Lynn died in died in a car accident in December 1998 as he attempted to drive across Highway 101 in Mussel Shoals, California. The 30-year-old singer died instantly after his 1992 Ford Tempo was broadsided by a southbound full-size pickup truck about noon. Also killed was Strait’s small bulldog, SNOT’s mascot Dobbs, who adorned the cover of the band’s debut album, the 1997 Geffen Records release “Get Some”. Strait, a Santa Barbara resident, was crossing the highway after visiting his girlfriend in the community. Lynn apparently pulled into the path of the truck, which was going about 65 mph. The impact sent Strait’s car spinning into the center divider where it stopped, a California Highway Patrol officer told the Los Angeles Times at the time.SNOT disbanded in 1998 following Strait’s death, putting an end to a career that generated considerable promise but only one studio album, the aforementioned “Get Some”. The band had been writing material for its sophomore CD and had completed 10 songs at the time of Strait’s tragic passing. As a memorial to Strait, SNOT eventually decided to release those tracks, with lyrics and guest vocals provided by a host of stars from the alt-metal community. The resulting album, “Strait Up”, was a fitting tribute from Strait’s peers and friends, featuring members of LIMP BIZKIT, KORN, SLIPKNOT, SEVENDUST, (HED) P.E., COAL CHAMBER, SUGAR RAY, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SOULFLY, and more.SNOT in 2014 recruited Carl Bensley (VITIATE, CONSUME THE FIRE) to sing for the band following the departure of Tommy “Vext” Cummings (ex-DIVINE HERESY, BAD WOLVES).SNOT’s U.S. tour, during which the band performed “Get Some” in its entirety, kicked off in late November 2014 in Palm Desert, California and wrapped in late December 2014 in Pomona, California.Cummings fronted SNOT in 2008-2009 before he and guitarist Sonny Mayo exited the group amid “strained relationships.”[embedded content]
