“I named the record Still Bleeding because I want to focus on giving my best while still here. I’m so proud of every single one of these songs for different reasons,” says Snell. “I had to grow into this album and dig deep to find my sound. Sill Bleeding has allowed me to tell my story creatively and set the framework for my career as I continue to grow. I hope everyone can find something here they relate to.”
This full-length release, featuring 13 tracks produced by Andrew Baylis, seamlessly blends the narrative richness of country music with a gritty sensibility, giving birth to what Snell aptly terms ‘grunge-country.’ The release also includes Snell’s breakout hit, “Pray All The Way Home,” now impacting at country radio.
The release of Still Bleeding follows Snell’s acclaimed 2022 EP, Muddy Water Rockstar, which cemented his status as a rising country star to watch. His raw debut singles, “Excuse the Mess” and “Wasting All These Tears,” have helped to propel him to 260+ million global career streams and secured him a coveted Highway Find as well as as the first country artist in SiriusXM/Pandora’s artist accelerator program.
You can catch Snell opening for Jason Aldean on the 2024 Highway Desperado tour or on his recently announced Still Bleeding Tour headlining dates starting in October. For more information, visit austinsnell.com and follow him on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.

ABOUT AUSTIN SNELL
Keeping country’s tradition of exposed emotional nerve endings alive – with a raw new sound of his own design – River House Artists/Warner Music Nashville’s Austin Snell is a rising singer-songwriter whose work presents anguish and ecstasy in harrowing high definition. Now rising up the country radio charts with his dashboard-pounding “Pray All the Way Home,” the emerging “grunge country” hitmaker boasts 235+ million global career streams and an exponentially growing fanbase, with a series of digital hits and a debut album to his credit. Born in Georgia and a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, hard rock and country radio formed the bedrock of Snell’s musical education, with artists like Nickelback and Alan Jackson in heavy rotation. Breaking out through a series of deeply personal self-written songs posted online during COVID-19, Snell’s first hit, “Excuse the Mess,” featured heavily distorted dark-energy guitars, thundering drums, and a wounded vocal at the end of its rope – and after a series of attention-grabbing early EPs, his introspective songcraft has now reached the level of an emotional x-ray. Dropping his full-length album debut Still Bleeding in 2024, Snell matches his country foundation with hard-rocking guitars, hip-hop beats, and the warm metallic buzz of a rip-saw vocal, as songs filled with inner conflict reveal a cycle of blackouts, breakdowns, and redemption – classic themes wrapped in new school sonics. All but one was co-written by the cutting-edge country artist himself, and along with accolades as a SiriusXM Highway Find and inclusion on the network’s Artist Accelerator program, Snell will join Jason Aldean’s 2024 Highway Desperado tour this summer.
