There aren't many bands who can boast having
a career in excess of fifteen years and still be at the top of
their game, let alone still be willing to play. But Canadian
punkers "SNFU" can say that and more. They're not likely
to boast about it though. Being away from the commercial limelight
and remaining loyal to their local following built through the
early eighties punk and skateboard scene is clearly enough for
them. Having recently trimmed down to four members, led by vocalist
and instigator Chi Pig, and continuing on down the hard road
of inconsideration with fortitude, they've come up with "Let's
Get It Right The First Time," their Megaforce records debut.
With eight previous releases to their credit,
"Get it Right..." is something of a greatest hits package
live, containing much of their earlier material that hasn't been
heard in years. With violent aplomb, "SNFU's" full
nineteen track lineup of low-lifed highlights pack a wallop,
as much as they do a sardonic belly laugh, that is best described
as a hybrid of The Talking Heads and The Descendants. After enough
listens to stuff like "Better than Eddie Vedder," "Don't
Have the Cow" and "Drunk on a Bike," they'll have
you rolling around the back of your car while its doing donuts
in the middle of the freeway! |
