Edmonton, Canada (1982 – 2005, 2007 – present)
SNFU is one of the longest running, most popular Canadian punk acts, formed in Edmonton, Alberta in 1982.
The band packed it in 2005 not long after the release of In The Mean Time and In-Between Time. Muc went back to school, and the other band members went their own ways rather than try to replace him.
That is, until 2007 when Mr. Chi Pig appeared on stage again fronting a band he was calling “asSNFU” for a small number of shows to celebrate the band’s long history.
Allegedly an acronym for Society’s No Fucking Use, SNFU initially comprised Chi Pig, the Belkes, bassist Warren Bidlock and drummer Evan “Tadpole” Jones. However, over the next decade the group’s rhythm section changed from album to album and tour to tour. As you can see from the list to the left, there are currently 17 people on the SNFU roster that have played at one time or an other with the band.
SNFU’s first two releases, 1985’s …And No One Else Wanted to Play and If You Swear, You’ll Catch No Fish, were straight- ahead skate punk albums with strongly political lyrics, released on BYO Records. For 1988’s Better Than a Stick in the Eye the quintet moved to the larger indie label Cargo Records, for whom they also recorded 1992’s mostly live The Last of the Big Time Suspenders, intended to be their final album.
Just as SNFU appeared to be finished, Epitaph Records — the most commercially successful U.S. independent label of the 1990s — offered them a record contract.
