Biography
Snot was formed in Santa Barbara sometime in 1995 by singer Lynn Strait (who had formerly played bass in local punk act Lethal Dose) and guitarist Mike Doling (formerly of Kronix). In 1996, Snot signed with Geffen Records after building a strong following with their powerful L.A. area performances, and shortly the group began work on their first full-length recording. The resulting disc, Get Some, was released in 1997 and immediately began receiving favorable notices. Get Some is a dynamic, hardcore metal offering that exhibits the punk and metal roots of Snot members Strait, Doling, bassist John Fahnestock, drummer Jamie Miller, and guitarist Sonny Mayo. Snot began touring in support of their new record and partly due to the fact that they were so very well received within the community of rock musicians, they were given a slot on the 1998 Ozzfest tour where Strait (among other dubious accomplishments no doubt) was arrested in Mansfield, MA, for indecent exposure after an onstage encounter with a member of Limp Bizkit's touring entourage. While Snot was running amok all over America, their debut wasn't getting quite as warm a reception as the band and their label would have liked, and after the Universal-Polygram merger, their future with the new company seemed to be in jeopardy as many lesser and new artists were being cut free from their contracts. Undaunted, the group continued to work on new music while pursuing whatever business and recording opportunities they found available to them. It was during this tough time for the band that Strait was killed in a car accident. On December 11, 1998 a truck struck the singer's car on the 101 freeway near Santa Barbara. Strait was 30 years old. Also killed in the accident was Strait's dog Dobbs, a boxer that appeared on the cover of Get Some. Fahnestock and Doling took the tracks that they had been working on with Strait at the time of his death and had friends of the singer come by (Korn's Jonathan Davis, Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, and Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath, among others) and lay down their own vocals as a tribute to the deceased. The subsequent Immortal Records release was called Straight Up. This record is a symbol of the tremendous outpouring of grief and sympathy -- especially within the L.A. new metal and alternative music community -- that was indeed massive and sustained. The vigilance of fans and concerted effort to sustain his legacy by other artists affirmed what many close to Strait had known for a longtime: that the singer had incredible magnetism and spirit, and that while he wasn't always an angel, he managed to inspire and entertain people. These were certainly among the man's goals, which he obviously accomplished during his lifetime. After the release of Strait Up, Fahnestock joined Amen and Doling signed on with Soulfly. ~ Vincent Jeffries, All Music Guide| Discography: Snot |

Formed in 1995, their musical style is a fusion of punk, funk[1] and metal.[2] The band released the studio album Get Some with founding vocalist Lynn Strait in 1997 and disbanded after his death in 1998. In 2008, Snot reformed in the original lineup with new vocalist Tommy Vext, guitarists Mike Doling and Sonny Mayo, bassist John Fahnestock and drummer Jamie Miller.

History
Formation, Get Some and death of Lynn Strait (1995-1998)
The band was formed by bassist Ruben Gonzalez, the former bassist of local metal band First Strike/Indica, and guitarist Mike Doling, formerly of Kronix.[2] Internal differences changed out Ruben Gonzalez for John Fahnestock. After building a strong following with performances in Los Angeles, Snot signed with Geffen Records, and began work on their debut album, Get Some, released on May 27, 1997. Although the album received positive critical notice, sales were disappointing.[1][2]
The band performed on the 1998 Ozzfest tour. On July 9, 1998, Strait was arrested in Mansfield, Massachusetts, for indecent exposure after emerging nude from the oversized toilet prop used by Limp Bizkit in their performances.[4] The band began work on their second album. On December 11, 1998, Strait died in a car accident when a truck struck his car, killing him and his boxer, Dobbs.[1] [2] The band disbanded following Strait's death.
Post-Death (1999-2007)
Because Strait had not recorded vocals for the album, it was decided that the album's vocal tracks would be completed by friends of Strait as a tribute. Strait Up, released on November 7, 2000, featured appearances by the lead vocalists of Korn, Slipknot, Sevendust, Hed PE, Coal Chamber, Sugar Ray, System of a Down,Incubus and Soulfly, among others.[1] [5] It peaked at #56 on the Billboard 200.[6]
A live album, Alive!, was released on July 30, 2002. It peaked at #12 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.[7] On April 5, 2007, the band reunited for a performance in Anaheim, California, with vocals performed by Invitro singer Jeff Weber.[8]
Reunion (2008-present)
In 2008, the former Snot members discussed the possibilities of reuniting, an idea Mike Doling once called "bullshit."[9] Regardless, it was officially announced in July that the band had reformed, with former Divine Heresy singer Tommy "Vext" Cummings on vocals.[8] In August 2008, they posted a new track called "The Band Plays On", which marked their first recording in over a decade, on their MySpace page.[10]The band performed their first show since reuniting at Velvet Jones in Santa Barbara, California on August 20, 2008.
As of March 2009, Snot has been writing and recording their follow-up to Get Some for producer Dave Fortman. They are hoping to have it out sometime in October 2009.[3] Recording may be halted as Tommy Vext and Sonny Mayo have chosen to leave the band. On June 1st 2009, Snot announced they had been jamming with a new, unnamed vocalist.
