If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish is the second full-length album by the Canadian hardcore punk band SNFU.[2] It was recorded in April 1986 at Power Zone Studio in Edmonton, Alberta[3]—although the album's liner notes claim the studio is located in Istanbul, Turkey—and was released on BYO Records in 1986. More diverse than their debut album, If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish helped solidify SNFU's status in the North American hardcore punk community and influenced the formation of the skate punk subgenre.
