AUSTIN SNELL

Austin Snell – Home Sweet Hell EP

Let’s just be real … sometimes country dresses up the past. But for Warner Records Nashville/River House Artists rising star Austin Snell, rose-colored glasses have never been part of the wardrobe.

Known for pushing the country envelope with a ferocious injection of sonic fury, Snell is no stranger to raw honesty, and his new EP Home Sweet Hell reveals another harsh reality. Far from romanticizing the good-old days, he shares an upbringing steeped in hard lessons, hard living, and hard rock; a familiar truth which nevertheless came with plenty to be proud of. It’s the follow-up to his 2024 album debut Still Bleeding – more powerful (and more brutal) than before. But as the singer-songwriter matures, the intensity is now in his introspection.

“The whole essence of Home Sweet Hell is the idea that things aren’t always what they seem,” Snell explains. “My career is a constant search for what makes me feel the way I felt when I first started writing music – and the edginess is not going anywhere, but I’m definitely doing some experimenting. I’m invested in my songwriting, and I want that to shine through.”

Born in Georgia and a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Snell was raised on everything from Alan Jackson to Nirvana and Nickelback, a contrast which constantly shows in his original “grunge country” style. Fusing hard-hitting aggression with the deep-feeling confessions of a country troubadour, he’s spent the last two years turning social-media stardom into brash-and-broken hits like “Excuse the Mess” and “Pray All the Way Home,” racking up 383 million global career streams and a fanatical fanbase, which will put him on the road for more than 120 dates in 2025 – Home Sweet Hell headline tour included.
