Worldwide extends directly from the festering punk the band first made their name on, but documents Snooper becoming bolder, catchier, and more confident.

 

Following the release of their beloved 2023 debut Super Snõõper, the band — rounded out by bassist Happy Haugen, drummer Brad Barteau, and guitarist Conner Sullivan — maintained a sporadic-yet-frantic touring schedule, darting around Australia, North America, and Europe whenever they had a tiny window between day jobs. Fueled by a hunger for fresh material and the random acquisition of a drum machine, Cummins and Tramel used whatever time they could find to write new songs. With Super Snõõper being a re-recorded collection of pre-existing material long since road-tested and fan-approved, the band views Worldwide as their true debut album. 

The title track serves as a mission statement for the record not just thematically, but also aesthetically, showcasing Snooper’s stylistic exploration with dance music. “Push pull/ Side to side/ This way/ That way/ Can’t decide/ Pressure! Pushing in/ Flattened me out from end to end,” Tramel sings. The song captures the dizzying headspace of the band’s rapid ascent. But though the band was feeling the pressure — the song is partially inspired by hydraulic press YouTube videos — all the challenges presented opportunity for transformation.
