The Hip Snacks are a Denver-based powerhouse six-piece of explosive soul music. Like a surprise hug from an old friend, this band is just what you didn’t know you were missing. The newlywed duo of vocalist Kara Durante and bassist Ben Suarez joined forces with drummer Dylan French, guitarists Ricky Feria and Felipe Cantuaria, and keyboardist Adam Schini in May 2023, making an immediate impact on the music world. The Hip Snacks quickly earned their reputation as a formidable live act, touring in support of their debut album, What Lies Ahead, OUT NOW!

The band recorded with legendary producer Steve Avedis at Colorado Sound Studios, authentically capturing The Snacks’ signature blend of piercing vocals, dominant rhythms, and blistering solos over songs that can’t help but make you dance.  See for yourself.
