The Sneaks are a four-piece indie pop band from Boston that write short bursts of energetic indie/power pop with some subtle quirks. Upon the demise of his previous band, Johnny Arguedas (ex-Anushka Pop) jumped on the internet to find a like-minded crew to help materialize the sounds in his head. Soon John Coughlin, Ken Rothman and Remy Trahant joined and after a few months of spit-polishing their material they played their first show in October of 2007. They take as inspiration Merseybeat and 60’s garage rock along with some 90’s-style indie rock to forge a sound that is catchy but not mind-numbingly sweet. Bands that have helped shape their music include the Kinks, Sloan, Squeeze, Belle & Sebastian, Built to Spill, Beulah and the New Pornographers.
