"SNOG are pioneering legends of Australian underground electro. They surface from their bunker to release their new album "Snog Vs. The Faecal Juggernaut Of Mass Culture". Is this record the most angry "electronic" and yet darkly humourous album ever recorded? Forget Alec Empire... forget T. Raumschmiere, SNOG is pure PUNK ethos over a groovey beat. All the spit and bile of Mr. Johnny Rotten delivered with the Cabaret style of a Dysfunctional Lee Hazlewood. Old-school Electro sequences, Glam-Rock guitars and one of the most truly subversive albums you are ever likely to hear.
A masterpiece."

"i was really nervous about getting this album when i saw it at my local (now defunct) tower records. although i really enjoyed "beyond the valley of the proles" from a lyrical standpoint, i found myself getting bored with the folk/acustic style music. i feared that this type of sound was what snog was going to go for from now on. luckily i was wrong. the Faecal Juggernaut is a brilliant punk/electronic album, that proves Snog can do it all. the lyrics are as subversive and punk as they come, and the music reminds me of some of the best tracks Snog has done since their earliest albums. amazing album in every sense, Snog isn't your typical band. they write songs with a very punk ethic- anti-establishment, anti-govt., anti-media, instead of the typical industrial self-loathing and hatred. get this album and soak in the sarcasm, fun, and anger of one of the greatest bands to come out of australia!"
Welcome to planet SNOG!

"Another political and anti-capitalsim work of musical art by the intellectual electro pop band SNOG. This album, like most SNOG albums, brings balls out humour to serious subjects in dark and yet pop beat style. The music of SNOG is verry hard to categorize,...spaghetti western/electro-pop/industrial/experimental/...???? Any of those will work depending on what song your playing. David Thrussel, the genuis and creator of SNOG, brings some of the boldest lyrics you've ever heard, and he does it in a verry entertaining fashion. Below are examples of the lyrics from each song.
1. "king of hate" -
some shelter in a monastery study dusty books
others wear a badge and pretend that they're not the crooks
2. "crash crash" -
suckin' black blood suckin' black blood under the hood
suckin' black blood under the hood never understood
3. "bourgeois" -
you really get up my nose your so fu***n' bourgeois
4. "turn on your brain baby" -
filthy faecal logs spewing through the pipe
spewing through the pipe they run your life
5. "planet of sh**" -
see the drones, see the proles
see the t.v. slaves down on their knees
ready to be saved by a machine that is nothing but lies and hate
they got their seats they just can't wait
6. "on the rise" -
abbadon is on the rise
moloch is on the rise
7. "neighbour of the beast" -
i shake hands with the beast i make plans with the beast
get tanned with the beast and i'm damned by the beast
8. "poison" -
took my craft for a spin the other day we cruised past the milky way
said to the creature 'oh, my friend...i fear this might be the end'
9. "the desease" -
one weeks it's bombs
another it's britney
10. "don't go down to the woods today" -
don't go down to the mail today it's all zombies anyway
glassy eyed they stare at the tube believe any carp that comes through
11. "destroyer" -
the postman brought some sad news today
the human race has raced away
12. "al qaeda is your best friend" -
when your down in the polls they'll drop a bomb
when your story's full of holes they'll drop a bomb
when there is an election or any kind of trouble
i'll place bets they'll arive at the double
13. "the de-evolutionaries" -
oh take me to your saviour
if i'm mad will i get good behaviour
if i'm bad will i taste failure
14. "a hymn for the fascist republic" -
the wells dry up the kill off begins
distraction and disinformation allow the elete to prevail
ghettos swell while gated communities become fortesses
SNOG VRS. THE FAECAL JUGGERNAUT OF MASS CULTURE
