SNFU began in 1981 in Edmonton, Alberta with the core members of Mr. Chi Pig (Ken Chinn) on vocals and the brothers Muc (Marc Belke) and Bunt (Brent Belke) on guitar, bonding over the love of skateboarding and punk. Originally naming the band Society’s NFU (shorthand for No F*cking Use), SNFU recorded their debut LP across two hectic days at Track Record Studios in Hollywood, CA in December 1984 with BYO Records honchos Mark and Shawn Stern as producers. Bassist Jimmy Schmitz and drummer Evan C. "Tadpole" Jones filled out the rhythm section, and left soon after the sessions. “It wasn’t the first time [in a recording studio] but it may as well have been,” recalls Marc Belke. Upon its release, SNFU hit the road for a tour in support of ...And No One Else Wanted to Play, spreading those then-new classics live and gaining cult success from coast to coast at 48 North American dates. With the record’s release and SNFU corresponding live dates, those cities, and the world of punk, would never be the same.
