A forest of post-punk sounds
These Londoners got the inspiration for their band name from the film 'Misery' by Rob Reiner, based on the book by Stephen King. A dramatic thriller in which one of the characters has a small accident with his ankles. Elements of the grim atmosphere of this film can sometimes be found in the music of Snapped Ankles, but it is mainly the rousing and rhythmic elements that linger and provide a visual dance spectacle live.
