SNFU
The Ping Pong EP (Alternative Tentacles)

Reviewed by John Sekerka



There's good reason why SNFU enjoys longevity in the ethereal punk world - and that reason is Mr. Chi Pig. Not only does the porky one own one of the most distinct and powerful voices on record, he also manages to scribble poetic like no other. This time around he chooses a comedic edge, never so sharp as the whimsical "I'm Your Carpet", in which Pig speaks from the rug's point of view. And for extra spray in his raspberry, Chi-Pig slaps on twelve minutes of pingpong sound bites from the recroom onto a twenty-five minute slab. You da king.
