A member of Canadian punk legends SNFU has been denied an Australian visa, forcing the band to cancel their upcoming tour.

There is no word on which member, but an industry insider said "I'm not completely sure of his criminal history, but his record does span a couple of pages."

Fans who had tickets to their July shows can get a refund from the point of purchase.

The band have been together since 1981 and are almost single handedly responsible for the skate-punk phenomena that exploded in the late 80s and through the 90s.

In the meantime, you'll just have to enjoy this clip of the band from 1986:
