NOFX is an American punk rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in
1983.
Vocalist/bassist Fat Mike, guitarist Eric Melvin and drummer Erik Sandin are
original founding and longest-serving members of the band, who have appeared on
every release of the band, although Sandin departed briefly in 1985, only to
rejoin the following year. El Hefe joined the band in 1991 to play lead guitar
and trumpet, rounding out the current line-up.
The band's sound is diverse, utilizing elements of punk rock, skate punk,
melodic hardcore, ska punk, and other music genres. Some of their songs focus
on, or reference, topics such as left-wing politics and anarchy, society,
racism, xenophobia, sexism, sexuality, misogyny, homophobia and homosexuality,
class inequalities, the use of drugs and alcohol, the media and popular culture,
religion and schadenfreude, often represented in a humorous manner.

In 1988, NOFX recorded their debut studio album Liberal Animation with Brett
Gurewitz of Bad Religion.
Although the title and some of the album's lyrics mocked vegetarianism and
animal rights, Fat Mike says that he became a vegetarian after writing the
Liberal Animation album. The album was re-released in 1991 on Gurewitz's
label Epitaph Records. Casillas left the band shortly after the recording of
Liberal Animation and was replaced by Steve Kidwiler. The band released its
second studio album, S&M Airlines, through Epitaph in 1989.
NOFX's mainstream success coincided with increased interest in punk rock
during the 1990s, though, unlike many of their contemporaries (including
Bad Religion,
Green Day and
The Offspring), they
have never been signed to a major label. NOFX has released fourteen
studio albums, sixteen extended plays and a number of seven-inch singles.
The
band rose to popularity with their fifth studio album, Punk in Drublic (1994),
which is their only release to receive gold certification by the RIAA.
In a January 2011 interview with The Daily Times, Fat Mike revealed that a new
NOFX album was in production, saying "There are some really good songs on
Coaster, but after having written 300 songs, I feel lucky I came up with them.
That's why there are songs on there about
Iron Maiden and
Tegan and Sara. I'm reaching, man. Sometimes I grab stuff just to grab
stuff, and I'm going in a lot of different directions."
In March 2018, NOFX released a new single "There's No 'Too Soon' if Time Is
Relative", in tribute to physicist Stephen Hawking, who had died days earlier.
The track had been recorded a month prior to its release. Several days later,
they announced the first annual Camp Punk in Drublic Festival
in Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio. The three-day event was to feature NOFX
alongside Rancid,
Pennywise, the
Mighty
Mighty Bosstones and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
On February 26, 2021, their studio album, Single Album, was released.
The group
has sold more than eight million records worldwide, making them one of the most
successful independent bands of all time.
The band cites its influences as
Bad Religion, Rich
Kids on LSD, D.I., SNFU, Operation Ivy, The Dickies,
Descendents, Circle
Jerks, Dead Milkmen, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Adrenalin O.D., Minor Threat, Germs,
Suicidal
Tendencies, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, The Adolescents, Misfits, and
Subhumans.
Their discography includes 14 studio full lengths, 17 EPs, and many 7" singles.
