About
SNFU is a legendary Canadian hardcore punk band. They formed in 1981 in Edmonton, and relocated to Vancouver in 1992.
The band has released ten full-length albums and are cited as a formative influence on the skate punk subgenre. In their early years, SNFU built an audience across North America and Europe through energetic live performances and a dynamic punk sound. Their 1985 debut album “And No One Else Wanted to Play” has remained influential in underground circuits.
The band signed with the prominent indie label Epitaph Records, achieved six-digit record sales and toured in support of larger groups like Green Day, The Offspring and Rancid.
SNFU is fronted by the eccentric singer, lyricist, and artist Ken Chinn, credited as Mr. Chi Pig. Since 2014, the band has consisted of Chinn, original bassist Dave Bacon, guitarists Randy Steffes & Kurt Robertson, and drummer Jamie Oliver (UK Subs).
