The Snake Corps, an English gothic rock band from London, was formed in 1984 by Tristan Garel-Funk and Nigel Pollard. Their debut album, Flesh on Flesh, was released in 1985 under Midnight Music. The band's unique fusion of post-punk and indie rock garnered them significant attention in Europe, leading to extensive touring abroad. Notable singles from this period include "Science Kills" (1985) and "Victory Parade" (1986). The Snake Corps released 3rd Cup in 1995. The band reformed in 2010 with a new lineup that included Marc Lewis on vocals. They continued to perform live and released the EP The Ocean Calls in 2016.
