The group, originally known as The Apostles, got their break after meeting Ivor Spencer, who became their manager.[1] They were best noted for their gimmick of performing in 18th-century period costumes, complete with buckle shoes and powdered wigs.[2][1]

Their debut single, "Buckle Shoe Stomp", was co-written by Spencer and released on Decca Records in the UK in 1964.[2][1] The Snobs were hugely popular in Sweden and Denmark; Decca released a further Scandinavian single featuring covers of "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Giddy Up a Ding Dong".[1]

The group travelled to the United States in 1964, where they played several concerts, appeared on The Red Skelton Show, and recorded a never-released cover of "Love Potion No. 9" with producer Gary S. Paxton.[1]

The Snobs disbanded in 1965, having released only the two aforementioned singles.[1]
