The Sneetches were an American indie pop/power pop band formed in San Francisco, California, United States, in 1985, who released several albums before splitting up in the mid-1990s. The band was described by Trouser Press as "one of the most tasteful, consistently tuneful pop bands on the American scene". In 2017, All Music described The Sneetches as "one of the best classic guitar pop bands in the late '80s/early '90s."
The Sneetches stood out amongst the grunge, industrial and hardcore scenes, but kept on chugging away. Yet, when Brit Pop broke in the mid ‘’90s, the Sneetches were unable to hitch onto that scene’s success, and thus, remain a somewhat under-appreciated cult band.
