Snot

The Profile

Snot are an American nu-metal band from Santa Barbara, California. Fronted by Lynn Strait, they debuted with Get Some (1997), toured Ozzfest ’98, and after Strait’s fatal car accident (Dec 11, 1998) the surviving members assembled the tribute album Strait Up (2000).

Core lineup: Lynn Strait (vocals), Mike Doling (guitar), Sonny Mayo (guitar), John Fahnestock (bass), Jamie Miller (drums). Known for a high-energy fusion of punk, metal, funk, and hardcore; memorable Ozzfest 1998 sets; and the tribute track “Angel’s Son” on Strait Up featuring Sevendust alongside contributions from Jonathan Davis, Serj Tankian, Max Cavalera, Fred Durst, and Brandon Boyd.

Three reviews celebrate Snot’s explosive nu-metal blend and Lynn Strait’s ferocious presence. Get Some earns raves, including an Ozzfest 1998 shout-out. Strait Up is framed as a posthumous tribute featuring major scene voices. Alive! is remembered as a way to keep Lynn’s energy “alive,” with raw quotes and fan devotion.
