Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
SNFU is a Canadian hardcore punk band formed in Edmonton in 1981 and later relocated to Vancouver. They have released nine full-length albums and are cited as a formative influence on the skate punk sub-genre.
The band came to fruition amid the inchoate Canadian hardcore punk scene of the early 1980s. Coupling horrific and occasionally humorous lyrical imagery with a dynamic punk sound, their 1985 debut album ...And No One Else Wanted to Play has remained influential. The group expanded its audience and style through two further studio albums, but disbanded in 1989 due to internal tensions.
They reformed two years later, however, playing new material that was comparatively refined while still iconoclastic. The reconstituted group garnered a recording contract with the prominent indie label Epitaph Records, which was followed by six-digit record sales and high-profile touring in support of numerous larger groups. They became independent in 1997 after a split with Epitaph and endured a second breakup in 2005 before again reforming two years later.
The group is fronted by the sardonic singer, lyricist and artist Ken Chinn (known as Mr. Chi Pig), their only original member. Founding members and twin brothers Brent and Marc Belke helped construct the band's melodic hardcore punk sound with dual guitar work before their departures in 1998 and 2005, respectively. The group is presently completed by guitarists Ken Fleming and Sean Colig, drummer Jon Card and bassist Kerry Cyr.
