S.N.F.U. take over the Punk Rock Museum

On Friday, December 5, 2025 (and the following day) Canadian hardcore punk band S.N.F.U. took over the Punk Rock Museum in the heart of Las Vegas. This takeover featured a special tour of pieces in the building, as well as a performance in the Pennywise Garage and a Q&A setup where the band talked about their history. 

Traffic was a nightmare this day, so I unfortunately missed the performance in the Pennywise Garage- but I did get the pleasure of seeing Brent and Mark Belke talk to an intimate crowd about the display set up on the upper floor, as well as the Q&A, which I also found very interesting. S.N.F.U. are before my time, so I admittedly don’t know too much of their background, but I very much enjoyed listening to the guys talk to the fans who are- some of whom traveled internationally for this special event! Pretty fucking cool. A story that stuck out to me was about New York photographer Diane Arbus, who the band had tried relentlessly to get a photo of hers licensed to no avail. Her estate doesn’t allow that type of usage so they’d have to go a different route with design and imagery. 

At this event, SNFU were promoting the special vinyl re-release of the 1985 record, “…And No One Else Wanted to Play.” This release features a bunch of live and remastered tracks. The deluxe versions are sold out, but they also include a cool coffee table photo book with unreleased photos, interviews, and more. Fans can head on over to https://trustrecords.com/ to check out the goodies that are still available! There’s still standard vinyls and other S.N.F.U. merch!
