(Don't Quit Before) The Miracle
Title: (Don't Quit Before) The Miracle
Artist: SNEERS.
Release Date: 2026-03-06
Genres: Experimental Music, Industrial Music, Noise Rock, Post-punk
Label: God Unknown Records
Description: SNEERS. release (Don't Quit Before) The Miracle on God Unknown Records May 1. Produced by Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu). New single out now.

The project consists of Italian singer and guitarist M. Greta Blaankart and drummer Leonardo O. Stefenelli. Originally formed in Berlin before relocating to Rome, SNEERS. have previously collaborated with Kristof Hahn of Swans, who provided lap-steel guitar for their 2018 album Heaven Will Rescue Us, We’re the Scum, We’re in the Sun. Their subsequent 2022 release, Tales For Violent Days, was produced by Freddie Murphy of Father Murphy.

The lyrical content of the new material continues Blaankart’s focus on spirituality, guilt, and the juxtaposition of religious imagery. The collaboration with Stewart follows the band’s established trajectory of working within the experimental and post-punk fringes. The Wire has previously categorized their sound through the lens of Southern Gothic and swamp-based aesthetics.

M. Greta Blaankart is a songwriter and guitarist who founded SNEERS. in Berlin during the early 2010s. Her work is characterized by non-linear narrative structures and a vocal style that fluctuates between spoken word and melodic tension. Leonardo O. Stefenelli joined as the permanent drummer, contributing to the band’s shift toward more percussive, industrial-influenced arrangements. Together, they have toured across Europe and the UK. Beyond SNEERS., Blaankart has been involved in visual arts and independent film scoring.
