Ep528: The Legacy of SNFU with Brent & Marc Belke

SNFU (  / snfu_ofishal  ) founders Marc and Brent Belke discuss band history, rare recordings, records, vinyl reissues on Trust Records (https://linktr.ee/trustrecords) , upcoming events at the Punk Rock Museum & more. Topics Include: • Marc and Brent Belke join from Vancouver and Victoria to discuss SNFU's December 5th Punk Rock Museum exhibit and album re-release. • The exhibit coincides with Trust Records' re-release of SNFU's debut album "...And No One Else Wanted to Play" with extensive extras. • The re-release includes a 53-page booklet with rare photos, interview excerpts, and a full record of early demos and alternate versions. • The exhibit features band paraphernalia, posters, t-shirts, and artwork, originally displayed at a Saskatchewan museum last summer before moving to Vegas. • Marc and Brent will provide guided tours at the Punk Rock Museum and participate in a roundtable discussion on December 5th. • The brothers describe Edmonton's early 1980s scene as intimate with only 50 people, mixing new wave, rockabilly, and emerging hardcore sounds. • Getting punk records in Alberta meant ordering from New York stores via mail, waiting two months, and receiving only 25% of selections. • Pivotal records included Bad Brains' ROIR cassette, Let Them Eat Jellybeans compilation, Sex Pistols' debut, and Minor Threat's Out of Step. • The LA hardcore scene heavily influenced SNFU, with bands like Circle Jerks, Social Distortion, and Youth Brigade making significant impressions. • SNFU formed when Marc and Brent's band lost members, recruiting bassist Curtis and drummer Evan Kaufmann based on personality over experience. • Singer Chi Pig brought irreverent humor and sarcastic lyrics that became central to SNFU's identity and separated them from serious hardcore bands. • The band recorded their debut album in two weeks with limited preparation, creating the raw energy that defined their sound. • Early SNFU combined hardcore speed with melodic elements, drawing from both aggressive punk and bands like The Damned and Buzzcocks. • The band signed with BYO Records for their second album, appreciating the DIY ethos and direct artist-to-label relationship. • SNFU toured extensively across North America, playing everywhere from established venues to DIY spaces and experiencing varied punk scenes nationwide. • The brothers discuss how the band's legacy feels incomplete, with the Trust re-release helping emphasize positive aspects of their history. • Brent left SNFU to attend music school, studying jazz and strings, and now works creating music for film projects. • Marc emphasizes Trust Records' meticulous approach, taking four years to perfect the release compared to SNFU's tendency to rush. • Both brothers have never visited the Punk Rock Museum and look forward to experiencing it while giving tours on December 5th.
