Tobey Torres sang on their debut album Sonic Jihad. After the first tour, Torres and Slater had a falling out, resulting in Torres leaving the band. Martina Axen (formerly of Drain STH) was brought on to perform live when SRC played a tour opening for Queensrÿche. While she was set to be the new official vocalist (going so far as to record on demos for the new album), an announcement was made on May 4th, 2006 that Tobey and Jason had reconciled and were back recording together with the intentions of releasing a new album in the Summer of 2007. This sudden and unexpected turn of events was well received by fans.
On September 4th, 2006, four months after returning to Snake River Conspiracy, Tobey Torres posted on her myspace blog that "I have once again chosen to disassociate myself from Snake River Conspiracy" and thanked fans for their support. Two days later, band guitarist Mitch Doran posted a message on the SRC forums that he had decided to leave the band as well. No official reason has been given for the second falling out. Jason Slater, who typically keeps fans apprised of the ongoings of the band via myspace and the SRC forums, has remained quiet on the situation as well as the status of the material that had been recorded during the brief reconciliation.
Jason Slater started working on SRC2 again in 2012 and continued to work on the album throughout the rest of the 2010s. In 2012 Tobey Torres and Mitchell Doran formed a new band called Mojave Phone Booth, and in 2016 Slater reconnected with Torres again through Doran. Slater planned to release a new Snake River Conspiracy album sometime in 2014, as well as release a vinyl version of Sonic Jihad with alternate/original mixes and a B-sides compilation titled B-Sides and Bullshit, but due to Slater's health struggles work on these projects slowed. On December 9, 2020, Slater died of liver failure, effectively ending the band
In July 2022, Torres and Mitchell Doran launched a new Instagram account for Snake River Conspiracy, announcing that new music from the band will be released in 2023.
In November 2022, Mitchell Doran alleged that Jason Slater had stolen several compositions that were written by other Snake River Conspiracy members during the SRC2 recording sessions, and reused them with other bands he produced. This account was corroborated in interviews given by original SRC guitarist Geoff Tyson and also in Facebook posts made by Jason Slater himself.
More Than Love
Snake River Conspiracy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blind child couldn't if you had to
Get lost I don't really need you
One shot salvation never found you
I know it sounds to you as if I'm singin
I know it's hard to tell you what I'm thinkin
This means more than love to me
Na-ah-ah-ah
This means more than love to me
What you never did to me (?)
Na-ah-ah-ah
Blind child couldn't if you had to
It kills better than it ought to
I think that you don't really have to
What's worse the lying or the fuck you (?)
I know it sounds to you as if I'm singin
I know it's hard to tell you what I'm thinkin
More than you'll ever be
Na-ah-ah-ah
This means more than love to me
What you never did to me
Na-ah-ah-ah
This means more than love to me
More than you'll ever be
This means more than love to me
This means more than love
Na-ah-ah-ah
The lyrics of "More Than Love" by Snake River Conspiracy evoke a sense of frustration and disappointment in a failed relationship. The singer is addressing their former partner, telling them that they were never good enough and that they don't need them anymore. The line "blind child couldn't if you had to" could be interpreted as a way to say that even if the former partner were to try their best, they still wouldn't be able to live up to the singer's expectations. The singer also mentions the idea of salvation and how it never found their former partner, which could imply that they were unable to save the relationship or themselves from falling apart.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that this failed relationship means more to the singer than just love, and that their former partner could never truly understand the depth of their emotions. The repetition of "na-ah-ah-ah" in between the chorus and verses almost sounds like a dismissive or frustrated sigh, emphasizing the singer's attitude towards their former partner.
Overall, "More Than Love" is a somber reflection on a relationship that didn't work out, with the singer conveying a sense of disappointment and frustration towards their former partner.
