Snakehouse is the first album by the Canadian rock band The Cliks, released in 2007. [4] [5]
Exclaim! wrote that the group "wield a power behind their songwriting that is conveyed through barebones sincerity and skilfully delivered sonic explosions that hammer out fierce arrangements and defiant melodies." [6] The Chicago Tribune called the album a "collection of guitar-driven stomach-churners ... amplified by [Silveira's] fiery vocals and a sense that he's not willing to stay silent anymore." [7] The Cleveland Scene described it as "Joan Jett-size riffs dished out with a side of power-pop stomp." [8]
All songs by Lucas Silveira, except "Cry Me a River" by Tim Mosley, Scott Storch and Justin Timberlake.

Raspberries were an American pop rock band formed in 1970 from Cleveland, Ohio. They had a run of success in the early 1970s music scene with their pop rock sound, which Allmusic later described as featuring "exquisitely crafted melodies and achingly gorgeous harmonies." The members were known for their clean-cut public image, with short-hair and matching suits, which brought them teenybopper attention as well as scorn from some mainstream media outlets as "uncool". The group drew influence from the British Invasion era—especially The Beatles, The Who, The Hollies, and Small Faces—and its mod sensibility. In both the U.S. and the UK, the Raspberries helped pioneer the power pop music style that took off after the group disbanded. They also have had a following among professional musicians such as Jack Bruce, Ringo Starr, and Courtney Love.
