SNFU is a Canadian punk rock band formed in 1981 in Edmonton, Alberta and later relocated to Vancouver, British Columbia. 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 raw and horrific lyrical imagery with a dynamic punk sound, their 1985 debut album, ... And No One Else Wanted to Play, has remained influential.

- SNFU ist eine kanadische Punkband aus Edmonton, gegründet 1981. SNFU erspielten sich in den 80er Jahren einen legendären Ruf als Skatepunk-Band, in den 90er Jahren wechselten sie dann zum bekannten Punk-Label Epitaph Records, wo sie drei Alben veröffentlichten und sich danach auflösten. 2000 fanden sie in neuer Besetzung wieder zusammen um bei Alternative Tentacles eine neue EP zu veröffentlichen. Diese hatte jedoch nicht viel Erfolg in der Szene, die die Band größtenteils schon vergessen hatte. 2007 erschien auf ihrem eigenen Label Rake Records nach vielen Jahren wieder ein neues Studioalbum namens In The Meantime And In Between Time. Die aktuelle Besetzung besteht aus Mr. Chi Pig (Gesang), Ken Fleming (Gitarre), Denis Nowoselski (Bass) und Jon Card (Schlagzeug). Die Albentitel der Band bestehen grundsätzlich aus 7 Wörtern. Die Abkürzung "SNFU" steht ursprünglich für "Society's No Fucking Use".

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, and wrote new material that was comparatively refined, while still iconoclastic. The reconstituted group quickly garnered a recording contract with the prominent indie label Epitaph Records, which was followed by six-digit record sales and touring alongside of such successful punk rock acts as Green Day, Bad Religion and Iggy Pop. The band became independent in 1997 after a split with Epitaph and endured a second breakup in 2005 before again reforming two years later. They are fronted by the sardonic singer, lyricist and artist Ken Chinn (known as Mr. Chi Pig), currently their only original member. The band built its melodic hardcore punk sound around dual guitar work from twin brothers Brent and Marc Belke before their respective departures in 1998 and 2005. The group is presently completed by guitarists Ken Fleming and Sean Colig, drummer Jon Card and bassist Denis Nowoselski.
