Vintage Edmonton Music: SNFU In Edmonton (1983, 1986)

Their incendiary live performances were legend around the city in community halls, house parties, dive bars, anywhere they could set up and rip it up, at the loudest possible volume.

The White Pages On Air featured the band in it's relative infancy, with interviews and songs:
