his week’s song comes from a brit-rock band originating from Chisinau, in the neighbor country the Republic of Moldova, named Snails. Even though the band is
Moldovan, most of its gigs are played on Romanian stages and in Romanian clubs.
The song we chose is called “Lullabies” and is performed entirely in English.“

"I have never been a Snails fan and don't think I will be, but I'll certainly go to their next show. I love the guys’ sense of humor and their newly released "Blue Passports" album.
I encourage you to support them, because it's worth it and you won't regret it.“

"I listened to their last album, "Blue Passports",
which I must say was a pleasant surprise for
me. It's true, it was recorded in Sweden with
some heavy professionals, so the sound is
exceptional. Because of this very good studio
sound, I was a bit skeptic about their live performance.
I expected that it would be hard for
them to be as good live. Not at all. The guys
sound very good live. From now on, I'm their
follower." - Chinezu / www.chinezu.eu (Top Romanian blogge

"It is not a mistake or a misunderstanding. The idea for change came to us when we first listened to the final version of our new album
recorded in Sweden. The name of this change was FurioSnails.“
