After newly being unveiled to the world as the latest frontman for returning nü-metal favs Snot during a pair of live shows last weekend, vocalist Andy Knapp has publicly commented on his new role. In a post shared yesterday via Instagram, Knapp stated:
“So I feel like I have finally been able to catch my breath and come down from this high from this weekend. 1/17/25 and 1/18/25 will be two dates that I will remember for the rest of my life. I don’t know how to put it into words this experience. It is very much a dream come true full circle kind of feeling. I am very blessed and honored to be in the situation that I am in.
I still don’t think I know all the right words to say right at this moment but I wanted to say thank you to my friends that have always had my back way before this was ever close to occurring. The ones that believed in me and dreamed the dream with me. Thank you people! You know who you are! And to my Angel of a wife. I love you Ariana. Thank you for everything you are. SNOT FOREVER! LYNN STRAIT FOREVER!!!! LETS GO!!”
Knapp landed the role after being spotted by a friend of the band after the group had previously exhausted a search for the latest individual to replace their beloved late frontman Lynn Strait. Knapp is also known for fronting fellow Santa Barbara-based band Stronger Than Machines.
