intro
Enjoyable and catchy, but ultimately mildly uninspiring ska punk from the long serving Snuff
Snuff have a reputation as being one of Britain’s best live bands, if you’re out for a jovial rather than intense evening. I’ve seen them once, supporting NOFX at the 2000 Deconstruction festival, and they were quite good. That day was all about the headliners, however, so I’d like to see them again at some point. Snuff play catchy, ska tinged punk, fast and straight. This record is good, play it loud at a party and you’ll have a great time, ditto in your car or on a hot summer’s day. Like many punk records, however, it’s hard to see it ever being someone’s favourite. Snuff have been around for ages, and the experience shows, but if I’m going to be honest, I don’t rate them as highly as a lot of the younger punk bands on Golf’s roster, like 4ft Fingers and Jesse James, and they’re certainly not up there with Capdown. I’m in the minority, though, as they’re really popular. In fact, if you read the sleeve notes to NOFX’s recent album, you’ll find Fat Mike describing them as “the greatest punk band of all time”.
