"A late 60s groove permeates the sound and SNAKE FLOWER 2 mixes it within minimal and raw, but not bleeding, production. The dance floor effect hits the red, taking in a heavy dose of handclapped-inspired ROLLING STONES thunder and a slight smell of The Strokes. “Running from the Night†gets all moody and menacing, more dirty and threatening with enough darkness to wipe the tiles clean of all the skinny pants hipsters drawn to the bright lights of the flip. I’ll be looking out for more."

"Snake Flower 2's first full-length, Renegade Daydream (Tic Tac Totally), is so utterly bitchin': it's overdriven, romping-in-the-red hot-rod rawk for kids whose minds were forever fractured by dog-eared, rifled copies of Nuggets LPs, Steppenwolf's gnarlsome guitar tone, Roger Corman cinematic cheapie sleazies, and the Standells' heightened snot levels. Renegade Daydreams' supercharged, fuzz-doused frenzies are the choicest tidbits plucked from, Melton says, "the first batch of songs I wrote after I escaped from the South."
