Imagine if members of the Queers had two brothers and a sister who formed a band in grade school. Harmless but speedy, juvenile, lo-fidelity punk rock.
They’re still postcard-quality punkers after 15 years, still unintentionally silly. Fast and loud as fuck, with a cretinous approach to leftist politics.
Their obnoxious moments, highlighted by songs like “Smash the Discos” and “Drinkin’ n’ Drivin’,” always shone brighter than their preachy working class anthems.
Stuntman (ex-Treepeople, minus Built to Spill’s Doug Martsch) do a catchy number called “Inspiration Please!,” but I’m not sure exactly what it is I’m catching.
A Best Of group with Mark Spybey of Dead Voices on Air, Eric Pounder of Lab Report, Martin Atkins of Pigface, Curse Mackey of Evil Mothers, and, uh, Satan.
SNFU gets down to skankin’ business from the first note and never stops, not even for comic relief of a more obvious sort on a tune like “Dean Martian.”
