Something Green and Leafy This Way Comes is the fourth studio album by Canadian punk rock band SNFU. The album was released in 1993 on Epitaph Records, the first of three SNFU releases on Epitaph. Despite being released during the height of the third wave of punk rock by the revival's best-selling independent label, the album did not yield a hit.
SNFU played the Wrong Way Down Memory Lane reunion tour late in 1991 to support their posthumous compilation album The Last of the Big Time Suspenders on Cargo Records. The band had originally planned to disband again after the tour; but the concerts were successful beyond their expectations, with greater attendance and merchandise sales than the band had experienced while active. SNFU met Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz at a show in Los Angeles, and Gurewitz expressed an interest in signing SNFU to his independent label Epitaph Records. The band reformed after the tour, retooled their lineup, and signed finally with Epitaph early in 1993.
With new bassist Rob Johnson and new drummer Dave Rees, the band spent late 1992 and 1993 writing the material that would appear on Something Green and Leafy This Way Comes. The songwriting process was influenced in part by the direction that guitarists Marc and Brent Belke had taken in their new melodic rock band the Wheat Chiefs. SNFU demoed the material at Desolation Sound Studio in British Columbia, and two tracks from this session later appeared on the "Beautiful, Unlike You and I" single. At Gurewitz's recommendation, they arranged to record the album with producer Donnell Cameron, known for his work with Rocket From the Crypt, NOFX, Rancid, Bad Religion, and Pennywise.
