NOTE: SNFU had to cancel their NZ tour dates due to legal reasons - Strike Anywhere are continuing on with the tour as planned.
As one of the longest running, most popular Canadian punk acts of all time, SNFU barely need an introduction. They continue to live up to their reputation of impressive live shows under the leadership and creative direction of founding member Mr. Chi Pig (vocals).
Since 1985, SNFU (originally an acronym for Society's No Fucking Use) have released a steady stream of albums (9 in total) for some of Punk Rock’s most prestigious record labels. Cargo, Alternative Tentacles and the mighty Epitaph Records are all part of SNFU’s recording résumé. Not to mention they once beat Fugazi, Jane's Addiction and Red Hot Chilli Peppers for a Best Live Band award!
Strike Anywhere is more than just a band; they are a movement, a sound and a force. The band’s incredibly solid career has spanned ten years across the globe, releasing four critically acclaimed albums while remaining a staple in the underground music scene since their inception.
Undoubtedly one of the most influential melodic hardcore bands of our time, Strike Anywhere formed in 1999 in Richmond, VA and continue to break down the walls of what it is to be punk. With release of their Bridge Nine Records debut, Iron Front, and the anthemic single ‘I’m your opposite number’ the momentum in Strike Anywhere’s career continues to grow from strength to strength.
Two such great bands as Strike Anywhere and SNFU on stage together can only mean one thing…a hell of a great night!
