Luke Sneyd is a Toronto singer-songwriter. His debut album All of Us Cities was released online in 2007 and the CD is available through CD Baby and IndiePool, and in local Toronto stores.
Luke’s debut features smart, anthemic power pop. The album was made with Toronto producer and multi-instrumentalist Marc Koecher. The two musicians first combined forces when Marc composed a soundtrack for Where the Wild Things Go, a twenty-minute serial-killer-thriller Luke wrote and produced in 2005. Their collaboration was humming soon after, Marc weaving layers of sound through Luke’s carefully crafted songs. Chris Osti (Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir, The Action Mob) guested, playing bass on “The Prisoner”, “Starstruck” and “Dallas”. Luke laid down guitars and vocals, and Marc added keys, bass and drums throughout. The finished album is a bright, polished gem chockablock with epic alt-pop. Music blog TorontoIndie.com recently called the record “ready for the airwaves”.
Luke was originally the guitarist for the defunct electro-rock combo Mountain Mama (aka Rockstasy). That band’s sleazy chicken-fried synth-rock was a far cry from Luke’s current sound. Stepping out from under Mountain Mama’s heavy-metal disco bravado, Luke was free to discover his own voice and unearth a finely honed pop sensibility. Marc and Luke sought to create an organic feel for the record, incorporating a broad range of rock, pop and new wave elements. The goal was to make a diverse album, one that didn’t toe the homogenous line so prevalent in music today.

Well it's been awhile, I know. Things have been seeming quiet in Sneydville. But trust me there's work afoot, under the surface, out of view. Zack's back from his tour with the Kelly Girls, and Marc's cleared the decks…
