Snowdogs play ultra catchy, flamboyant rock with a visceral edge and obvious pop sensibility. They successfully avoid the goofiness and sappiness that is often associated with other accessible rock acts. The brothers Leppanen possess a master's knack for writing hyper-infectious hooks that serve as the backbone of their addictive, sing along tunes. Reflecting their classical training, various songs on the album also feature keyboards, horns and harmonica far outreaching the instrumentation used by other three- piece Artists. They are continually compared to Artists like THE OFFSPRING, SOUL ASYLUM, GREEN DAY, PLACEBO and THE REPLACEMENTS.
Ville and Mat were born in Finland to a globe trotting family. Frequently changing locations, the boys went to American schools and were trained as classical pianists. Their Grandfather's advice of "don't become a musician, it's a shit job" went completely unheeded as Ville and Mat bought one way tickets to London with the sole intention of making it in rock bands. Soon after arriving they met American drummer Benjy Reid, originally of Atlanta, Georgia. The three exiles in London became Snowdogs.
Explosive live shows quickly earned them a record deal with the UK's Track Records, once home to Jimi Hendrix and The Who. The band's debut "Animal Farm" received great reviews around the world, including BBC Radio 1 Rock Record Of The Week and Metal Hammer's "Hottest New Band Of The Month" in late 2001. "Deep Cuts, Fast Remedies" picks up where "Animal Farm" left off showing a great deal of maturity and spectacular songwriting development. Produced by Steve Brown (The Cult, Manic Street Preachers, Wham!), Snowdogs are back with 12 outstanding and diverse rock tracks. Brown's success and history with pivotal, hit records from the ‘801s shines through on every track reflected in each songs flow, structure and vibrancy.
To capture and showcase the band's energy, "Deep Cuts" was recorded live. The backing tracks were completed in four breathtaking days at Jacobs Studios just outside London. The album was finished in the band's studio in South London. Steve's view from the swivel chair: "Snowdogs....what a band. The secret of a great production is trust and understanding. They play great songs, are great players with fantastic energy both on stage and, more importantly for me, in the studio. A good, sound message backed up with a solid performance. Victory should be very proud of this acquisition and I wish everyone the best of luck with this release." Standout tracks include Drive, Average Kid, Popstars (Love this!) and Amazon.
Snowdogs have played with Artists ranging from Blink 182, MXPX, Alkaline Trio, At The Drive-In and Less Than Jake. The band are planning to tour the US and Europe in early 2003 to support "Deep Cuts, Fast Remedies".
All I Said
Snowdogs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And how many of them gone by
Counted them together up to ten at least
And that's counting only tonight
And all I said you never heard
But I was there
It's a crying shame it's a bad bad world
If it's gone forever sum it up for me
You talk as if the chance is long gone
You've given up already and that's just how it is
Looks like the night ahead's a long one
The lyrics to Snowdogs's song All I Said are reflective of a perspective that is both melancholic and persevering. The first verse poses the existential question of how many forevers there are in eternity, and how many of them have passed by already. The singer then reflects on how they have counted at least ten forevers, which is only a small fraction of eternity. The second half of the verse is where the tone turns sad, as the singer admits that they have been alone for the moment they are counting the forevers, implying that they have been alone for many of the "forevers" in their life.
The chorus of the song is where the theme of perseverance shines through. The singer admits that everything they've said has gone unheard, but they remain present regardless. They acknowledge the sadness and cruelty of the world, but they are still here, which is an affirmation of their inner strength and resilience.
The second verse interprets the singer's words as a response to someone who has given up on something, saying that if something is gone forever, then sum it up for them. The singer notes that the other person speaks as if all hope is lost, contributing to a pessimistic atmosphere. The line "looks like the night ahead's a long one" suggests that the singer expects this negative energy to continue, but they remain determined to weather the storm.

I thought you guys were quitting for a second. So glad I was wrong!
@greysfreak1992
Right?? I was worried. I wish YouTubers didn’t clickbait like this
@Ari04230
Same 😅
@jacobdubielak
That would've been crazy if they quit
@GoneToTheSnowDogs
It's not clickbait. We are literally saying goodbye to 2023. . . So this is not clickbait. What the title says, and clearly the thumbnail with all the New Years stuff says, is that this is an end of the year video.
I wish people supported the creators they loved and enjoyed their content instead of calling click bait. If you love a creator, support them!

I did too! I was really gonna miss them!
