Originating from the vibrant city of Newcastle upon Tyne, SDBIA embraces an experimental genre non-conforming Psych style, blending elements of Stoner, Kosmiche, Space Rock, Prog, and Post-Rock. This captivating fusion of sounds creates a transcendent musical experience that continues to captivate audiences far and wide.
Snakes Don’t Belong In Alaska has firmly established themselves as a prominent force in the underground Psych scene, sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in the current generation of psych rock. Notably, they collaborated on a mesmerizing album with the legendary Japanese Psych artist, Junzo Suzuki, and have had the privilege of performing alongside esteemed bands like Hawklords, 10000 Russos, and The Myrrors, among others.
Their journey has been adorned with fruitful collaborations with renowned labels such as Cardinal Fuzz, Little Cloud Records, and most recently, they’ve been devoting their efforts to Essex based label, Up In Her Room.
Their latest masterpiece, Sounds Of A Forming Planet, was unleashed to the world in June ’23.
The great Carl Sagan once said: “It might be a familiar progression, transpiring on many worlds—a planet, newly formed, placidly revolves around its star; life slowly forms; a kaleidoscopic procession of creatures evolves, intelligence emerges”.
Snakes Don’t Belong In Alaska imagined what it would sound like, listening to this universal progression and this is how Sounds Of A Forming Planet was created.
Recorded live, these improvised performances explore the thoughts of how we came to be, through the use of heavy psychedelia, stoner, doom and prog rock.
Consisting of 3 killer slabs of mind altering psychedelic sludge, this record sees SBDIA return to their best.

PRESS QUOTES
Fusing vintage American indie rock with shoegaze tapestries, the band’s blissed out style forever verges on the edge of raucous collapse.
Clash Music
An always intense Psychedelic journey from start to finish. A recommended listen for lovers of Psychedelic Rock music developed over long tracks with forays into different genres and styles. It will be interesting to hear this band live, given their great ability to develop instrumental textures with technique and quality.
Prog Rock Journal
It moves from dangerous to funny to epic in minutes, like the good sci-fi movies of yore used to. Best thing to do is light one up and let these intergalactic Englishmen take you to the next dimension.
