As the story goes, St Paddy drove the snakes out of Ireland - but just how quickly did it occur? What we need to know is, what was the Speed of the Snakes? (See what we did there?)

The wonderful Speed Of Snakes are about to release their self-titled debut album and it's a banger. Speed of Snakes is Vin McCreith from Adebisi Shank and Rupert Morris from Bats, two thoroughbreds of Irish music who between them have been involved in some of the best Irish music over the past ten years.

Speed Of Snakes has been in gestation for some time now. The single Arroway first emerged in 2013 and but the trail ran cold after that. They've now emerged from their hibernation with an album that stays true to their initial offering - bracing electro beats and some 8 bit-ish digitised vocals.
