  • SNFU is a Canadian hardcore punk band formed in 1981 in Edmonton, and later relocated in Vancouver. They have released ten full-length albums and are cited as a formative influence on the skate punk subgenre.The band began amid the inchoate Canadian hardcore punk scene of the early 1980s and built an audience throughout North America with their energetic live performances and dynamic punk sound. Their 1985 debut album ...And No One Else Wanted to Play has remained influential in underground circuits. 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, in a second incarnation which found greater success. The band garnered a recording contract with the prominent indie label Epitaph Records, which resulted in 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 eccentric singer, lyricist, and artist Ken Chinn, credited as Mr. Chi Pig. Founding members and twin brothers Brent and Marc Belke helped form the band's melodic hardcore punk sound with dual guitar work before their departures in 1998 and 2005, respectively. Nearly 30 musicians have played in the group since its inception, with only Chinn remaining constant.
