The Silver Snails sophomore album Speed of Light seeks to embody the band’s slogan, “The world’s finest pop rock for a global audience.” Recorded painstakingly over a decade in Italy and Portland Oregon and co-produced by Dylan Magierek (Badman Records), Speed of Light is a string of ten musical pearls lovingly crafted to uplift and inspire. The new album is being released September 5 on digital download, CD and streaming services.



The Silver Snails are an independent pop rock music project based in the medieval wine country of Romagna, Italy, with strong ties to the West Coast (USA). Anchored by the husband-and-wife duo of Lucas Ward and Elisa Fantini, their mission is to open human hearts through song.

Describing themselves as a glam rock space pop family band, The Silver Snails draw from a diverse palette of musical influences including classic rock, pop, folk, electronica, Irish, jazz, Nigerian, Qawwali, Asian folk music, and more. More stylistically focused than their debut album, Speed of Light should appeal to lovers of classic rock such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd along with aficionados of gourmet contemporary indie pop such as The Shins, Band of Horses, The Flaming Lips, and Bon Iver.
