"Spending some time in hibernation whilst writing this album has made for some great progressions… 'Snakeskin' is a great representation of our head space and expresses a lot of the emotions and directions we have taken in the creation of our 3rd record. Like a snake shedding its well worn skin, these are the days of our lives." Daniel Sanders

The "Snakeskin" video was shot in Wiltshire, near Stonehenge, south of London. The video sees the band playing in the middle of a 200 metre crop circle that was made specifically for the video, in the same farm where the Led Zeppelin crop circle was made that featured on the cover of the Remasters compilation album.^[1]

"Snakeskin" was featured in all Network 10 promotions for the 2008 AFL season.^[2] The song also won two WAMi Awards for 'Best Single' and 'Best Video'.
