About Overhand Sam

“From the sweeping pop-psychedelia of Maybird to the jagged garage pop of Anamon, Sam Snyder, aka Overhand Sam, never tries to set boundaries with his music. The well-rounded Rochester-based musician is always doing something new with one of his musical projects, mostly now with his power trio Bad Weapon, which also comprises of drummer Dennis Mariano and bassist Benton Sillick. The trio's soundscapes are best described as fuzzy psych-pop with a painterly lo-fi touch that's layered with dreamy hooks and punchy, freeform rhythms.” - J Massaro (Floated/Paperface Zine) "On “Pebbles,” Snyder lets a slight undercurrent of fuzz lead the way and it helps propel the track to some far-out, stratospheric heights. Early on, the interaction between the guitars and bass is quite unique, as the riffs sound straight up Byrdsian, while the muscular bass exudes more of a soulful bravado. While invoking a clever metaphor that compares having pebbles in your shoes to feelings of self-doubt, he also lets his guitar get in some words edgewise, especially around the choruses, where they slowly start to sound a little more menacing - thus establishing a nice contrast with the sedative quality of his voice. Snyder also incorporates a lot of different experimental sonic flourishes without compromising the song’s pleasing melody. The song is quite the trip!" - T Gallo (Look At My Records!)
