SNUB was great at airing the odd and obscure at the dawn of music videos. I recorded all the shows, and still enjoy them to this day!

I loved Snub TV. It's where I first heard Dinosaur Jr, Cranes, Ultra Vivid Scene and The Cramps. Thanks for putting this on youtube.

Some great indie bands on the scene during this time.

Just give me the fall I don't need anything else!

The Fall were amazing!

Used to love Snub TV. I was 16 when this episode was on and remember it well. Big fan of the Fall, Roses and Dinosaur Jr, but that UVS track is epic.
Thanks for uploading it.

I remember Snub being on channel 4. Obviously wrong. I also loved Buzz. I have a playlist of that on here......BBC2? Who knows? *shrugs*

Ciaran O Sullivan So you're now 50-odd and you start sentences with 'So'

Before UVS Kurt Ralske(?) was in a band called Crash, and my band did some gigs with them in Manchester, nice people. Apparently he died a,few years later, a shame!

Thanks for posting. We need a show like this now!

Loved Snubtv at the time. Great music. But have just found out that if you cup your hand and move it to n fro in front of your phone speaker, especially when Dinosaur Jr's on, it makes a cheap phasing effect. It's pretty effective too. Cheap 80's style effects. 😜

To fix the aspect ratio, paste this into the JS console:
force43 = () => { document.querySelector('video').style.transform = 'scaleX(calc(3/4))'; requestAnimationFrame(force43)}; force43();

Thanks for sharing knew the indie show on BBC4 would create some interest in SNUBTV clips ;-)
