Snapped Ankles are an English, London-based post-punk band, incorporating elements of performance art and art rock. They signed to The Leaf Label in 2017 and have released three albums to date. The band members' identities are unknown, due to the fact that the group performs in ghillie suits, but they claim to be "forest folk...descended from the trees" The band perform in "shamanistic costumes" and their live performances include elements of performance art and art-rock. Their unique live show is known for "whipping audiences into a manic, frenzied, ecstatic state." The band also cites the diverse influences of Morris dancing, Old Norse texts, Jean-Luc Godard, Lightning Bolt, Fela Kuti and London warehouse parties.

The band's third studio album, Forest Of Your Problems, was released on Leaf Label in July 2021, and was Rough Trade's Album of the Month. The LP automatically became the band’s most successful in both sales and coverage, and capitalised on the band’s previous five years of touring and releases where they have evolved from cult act with a strong live following to a notable outfit capable of drawing large crowds including their headline show at London's Roundhouse.
