Snailmate is the Phoenix-based musical duo composed of lyricist, singer and synth-wizard Kalen Lander and drummer and backup vocalist Bentley Monet. Together, the two create music that fuses synthpunk, grindcore pop, and nerd rap for an unpredictable and explosive sound. The band is known for their frenetic and impressive live shows. Performing over a thousand shows, Snailmate has cultivated a fervent fanbase that aims to be inclusive with the band priding their shows as a safe space for all genders and people of all sexualities. Snailmate has released a full length album Love in the Microwave as well as a myriad of EPs and singles covering a wide range of genres and topics. From songs about anxiety, isolation and queer identity, to bangers about hot sauce, nostalgia, or wearing a robe. Nothing is off limits, and the two often use humor and wit to tackle dark topics, confiding, “We want you to know that you're not alone. Life is short and weird and sometimes crappy, so let's have some fun.”
