The Snapdragons (sometimes referred to as The Snapdragons UK, to distinguish them from the later American band of the same name) were an indie rock band from Leeds, England.[1] They were led by their singer and main songwriter, James Taylor (not to be confused with The Prisoners mainman or the American singer-songwriter of the same name). They released two albums and four singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, while signed to the independent record label, Native Records.
