Following the traditional punk beginnings they formed from, NOFX’s inspiring career has spanned many generations and is far from over today. Steering clear of mainstream labels, and making decisions true to the ethics of punk rock has always been a feature of NOFX’s attitude as a band, and they are continuing to be a massive influence on the punk scene even today.

The first hint of the formation of NOFX began back in 1983, when Eric Melvin and friend Dillon sat around discussing the dismal state of their current bands. They decided at that time to begin a proper band, that has songs, goes on tour, and a band that they could work on. The pair discussed who else they should have in their band. From going to gigs around their native LA area Dillon had come across a guy named Mike who played bass in a band called False Alarm, and they both knew a bloke named Steve who hailed from Orange County, and they both agreed he would be a perfect front man. A first practised was arranged.

When Melvin first met Mike, he was the biggest Misfits fan of all time, describing him as having the biggest Devilock of all time. Mike rolled up to the first practise with a song they could play, with it apparently having more than a passing resemblance to Minor Threat’s cover of the Monkee’s Stepping stone. Steve never made it to the first practise, after failing to get a ride up from Orange County. Dillon quit afterwards also, and was immediately replaced by Mike’s friend Erik on drums. Erik, Melvin and Mike continued to practise as a three piece as Steve had not managed to get to any practises yet.

The next thing was to come up with a name. Melvin explains that he came up with the name after a band named Negative FX, whom they would listen to when hanging out at Mike’s house. To them, it represented being against all the gimmick bands that appeared to be around at that time.

NOFX played their first gig at a place named Cathay de Grande. The various members of NOFX had seen many popular punk bands there over the years, including DRI, Minor Threat, Reagan Youth and Social Distortion. On Tuesday nights new bands were allowed to play there for the fee of $1. Asking if they could borrow equipment, NOFX played a four song set (the only 4 songs they knew) as a three piece. Finding out that they had played without him, Steve quit the band at this point, a band he was never really a part of. Nonetheless, the show went down really well with many claiming that this was their best performance for many years. The original plan was for Melvin and Mike to take turns in singing the songs, but seeing as Melvin (by his own admission) could barely even play guitar back then, Mike became the official vocalist for NOFX.

NOFX’s first demo was, by a huge slice of luck, produced by Don Bolles (of Germs fame) in return for filling up his car with gas. NOFX spread the word about their debut release, and placed an advert in Flipside. The feedback the band got from the demo enabled them to go on their first tour in 1985. A guy named Brad from Boise said he’d pay $200 for the band to play in his basement. After a lot of phone calls they secured more gigs in Reno, Portland, and Ashland, Oregon, touring around in Melvin’s parents Country Squire.

In 1985 Erik moved away to Santa Barbara, and so was replaced for the band’s LA tour by a drummer named Scott. Scott was not too smart, and the band discovered he had left for the tour with only $6 in his pocket!

Mike has sold his car to buy a Dodge van for this tour, and unfortunately he didn’t buy a very good one. It continually broke down and was also a ‘cop magnet’, who were possibly eager to find out who drove the van with a massive graffiti style NOFX logo spray painted on the side. The tour consisted almost entirely of playing garages or naïve people’s homes for whatever money they could get.

After this tour Scott was replaced on drums by another Scott, and Dave Allen was tried and taken on as singer. The winter of 1985 was spent touring the mid west with the band Enthropy, with 12 people packed into the little Dodge van, including girlfriends and roadies.

After this tour, more changes followed. Mike moved to San Francisco to go to college, and Dave tragically was killed in a car accident. Scott also quit on drums, prompting Mike and Melvin to talk Erik into rejoining the band. However they still wanted to add a second guitar player. This was to be Dave Casillas, who joined and played on a couple of tours and on the Liberal Animation record.

NOFX went on their first European tour due to another stroke of good fortune. The Adolescents had pulled out of a German tour, and a promoter who had met Mike at a show a few weeks before decided to book the band despite them being no where near as popular as the Adolescents.

Dave quit after a little while, as the band felt he was not as dedicated to playing in a punk band, as they would’ve liked. He was replaced by Steve Kidwiller a month before they recorded S & M Airlines. Before that record was even out they embarked on a three-month tour of the US and Canada, and then a month and a half tour of Europe after about a months’ break. Then after about another month’s rehearsal the record Ribbed was recorded. Then they went back out on tour, across the US and back to Europe with bands of the stature of Bad Religion.

Soon after they returned from touring the record Steve quit the band, after apparently becoming un-able to cope with the amount of drug use within the band. El Hefe was the result of the auditions that the band held in San Francisco named El Hefe after his musical abilities.

Over the years NOFX continued to make a conscious effort to steer clear of the mainstream they despised. Mainstream success for Epitaph label mates Bad Religion and the Offspring, as well as the huge publicity surrounding Rancid led to a number of offers from major labels. However the band stayed true to their punk rock roots, releasing records that were clearly anti-mainstream for example 1992’s White Trash, Two Heebs and A Bean, which contained the terrific and sarcastic Please Play this Song On The Radio. The band followed this masterpiece with another, 1994’s Punk In Drublic regarded by many as the bands best. El Hefe’s guitar playing seemed to be the final cog in the NOFX bandwagon, and good albums became a given.

Heavy Petting Zoo was a grungier and slightly strange album. Released in 1996 it has a much rockier feel to it, despite containing classics such as Philthy Phil Philanthropist and What’s The Matter With Kids Today?

Custom brilliance returned again with 1997’s So Long And Thanks For All The Shoes (the first punk record I bought), which featured a fair amount of ska based tracks. The next release was one that would take the punk world by storm. Inspired by legendary UK punks the Subhumans, NOFX recorded an 18-minute marathon of political rage, entitled the Decline. Released on Fat Wreck chords, this song is possibly the defining moment of the band’s musical career. This was followed by 2000’s Pump Up The Valuum, complete with misspelled title in order to avoid a law suit.

Sifting through hours of unused material resulted in 2002’s B-side release 45 or 46 Songs That Weren’t Good Enough To Get On Our Other Records. Un-suprisingly this still contains some blinders, including an excellent cover of The Misfit’s Last Caress and the superbly random Bath Of Least Resistance. Disc 2 of the release contains a live recording of the band playing through a set of songs written in 10 minutes or under, and songs such as Party Enema and Three On Speed show what a great song writer Mike really is.

This was followed by 2003’s War On Errorism and 2004’s The Greatest Songs Ever Written By Us. They are currently in the middle of a unique 7-inch of the month club, where they are recording and sending out to subscribers a swiftly written and recorded set of songs, to be kept on vinyl.

Other Issues:

Over the years, NOFX has developed into more than just another band in the punk rock scene, they have instigated a number of other huge influences on it. Fat Mike’s record label Fat Wreck Chords now contains many of the greatest bands around spanning many different genres. Big names such as Mad Caddies, Good Riddance, Sick Of It All, Descendents, and the Subhumans are just a few of the names that have released material on this label over the years.

Also, he formed and run the PunkVoter initiative. Chastised by many, this has proved to be a chance for many young people to get involved in politics and receive, an albeit biased, view on how the world is being run. Tours were organised, t-shirts were sold and interviews were given in an attempt to help the cause, and the site continues today.

I wouldn't call them pop-punk either. Although they did have a more melodic sound starting with Pump Up The Valuum. But IMO it sounds better than Heavy Petting Zoo or Ribbed. That's just me though.

i could listen to "we threw gasoline on the fire........", "Bob" and "pump up the Valuum" aaaalll day. Nofx - yes great pop-punk, but i recommend only in small doses, cos as other ppl have already stated, Fat Mikes voice can get rather irritating.

I think NOFX is great. What I like about there music how broad their style can be. I just don't see why Fatty's voice pisses so many people of. In addition to the people on this forum I know a lot of people personally who hate his voice too. I don't mind it, maybe I just have wierd taste?
And The Decline is a great song, probably NOFX's best

really? Hot Dog In A Hallway is a good song, i like it. It doesn't score to highly in my list of overall nofx songs due to it's simplicity and it doesn't compare to other stuff they've written because nofx have some real classics.

august 8 and drop the world are both fairly good, especially for what was essentially a disappointing album

And the story about Mike being called Fat was not due to him necesserily being fat, it was that after he spent his first year at coleege in SF he'd gone from a skinny guy to a more rounded guy, which looked like a massive difference.

45 or 46 Songs that Weren't Good Enough for any of Our Other Records is probably my favorite album.

That album is indeed rather humurous, but they muck around so much it's just not fun to listen to.

NOFX are awesome!! I have Punk in Drublic, White trash, their split with Rancid, War On Errorism, and Liberal Animation... Believe it or not, Liberal Animation is probably my favourite one out of them because the songs are more raw and old-school sounding.. my favourite songs are probably Here comes the neighborhood from Liberal animation, Perfect government from Punk in Drublic, and B0B from White Trash..

It's the best song off the war on errorism, the rest is really weak.
Actually I would say the opposite. I admit that War On Errorism was a weak album, but there are several songs on the album that are better than Franco Un-American. Medio-core is by far the best on the album IMO.

PUTV and WOE were a lot more poppier, so I liked them quite a bit. I suppose it's just an opinion of taste really

Great. But really, I've been thinking about it and it's true. It always changes throughout the song, all parts have a special feeling (I mean, on one part the bass is awesome, on another the guitar, then the backup vocals, and all the song like that), the lyrics are awesome, even when I don't get them at a 100% and basically it's a masterpiece.

They are pop-punk, but you say it like it's a bad thing.

Most of Screeching Weasel's stuff is pop-punk but they are still an awesome band and they aren't on the radio, TRL and the singer isn't "whiny" that's just his voice.

i wouldnt consider them pop punk as I feel that label is for bands in the mainstream, but I wouldn't consider their later stuff to be as hard punk.

fave album: so long and thanks....
Decline is amazing but so is most of their stuff.

I think that their new stuff is just a gradual progression of their music. they are getting better and better at writing lyrics, music and their overall talent is improving constantly. I listen to new nofx, and in contrary to other bands that put out new stuff, i'm not disappointed and will put it along with their other stuff

Nahuatl or Nawatl (pronounced in two syllables, NA-watl ['na.watɬ]) is a term applied to some members of the Aztecan or Nahuan sub-branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family, indigenous to central Mexico. Under the "Law of Linguistic Rights" it is recognized as a "national language" along with 62 other indigenous languages and Spanish which have the same "validity" in Mexico [1]

However, it also serves to identify a number of modern Nahuatl varieties (some mutually unintelligible) of the Nahuatl dialect complex that are still spoken by at least 1.5 million people in what is now Mexico. All of these dialects show influence from the Spanish language to various degrees, some of them much more than others. No modern dialects are identical with that of Classical Nahuatl, but those spoken in and around the Valley of Mexico are generally more closely related to it than are peripheral ones.

so i take it "you're wrong" isn't on there. ****

I saw them in March, and they played it fast, with the whole band. On the Hippy EP it's acoustic... but the full version sounded so cool.... oh well.

Old NOFX, good they had some political stuff in their older songs, but it wasnt an overload..great music, good classic punk at its best. (white trash, punk in drublic, ribbed, just straight up good)


New NOFX (mainly war on errorism) - Though the sound doesnt bother me, the whole political thing kills me... appeals to 7th grade kids with anarchy patches on their bookbags and spiked hair that falls down cause they couldnt afford good wax, and pretend to know about george bush, the end.

The new album is awesome, I don't think it's their best but it's far from their worst, it is up there with the likes of So Long... White Trash and Punk In Drublic.

I also thought their most recent EP was really great too, I love the song You're Wrong

I saw it yesterday, and I'm quite tempted to pick it up seeing as it was half the price of the CD version.

The new album is very good and some of the best lyrics yet. US-AHoles has some amazing lyrics, a couple of the 7" songs are a tad weaker, I want to know why "I'm Going To Hell For This" isnt on the album, its a great song. The EP was very amazing, its a shame Golden Boys is a cover cos im sure that would have also gone on WIWC. All in all its a respectable album and the band havent gone and done anything stupid !!

my favorite nofx albums definetly has to be Liberal Animation... u put your chocolate in my peanut butter and truck stop blues are just such classics, but that was back when nofx is good...now there just another trendy punk rock band jumping on the band wagon...just out there using words like fuc|< to sound cool.

I think (ridiculous as it sounds because i love this album) it's my fifth favourite NOFX album release (not including the Decline or Great Hits).

SLATFATS>Ribbed>White Trash>Punk In Drublic>WIWC>PUTV>Heavy Petting Zoo>WOE>S&M>Liberal Animation


Ribbed, White Trash and Punk In Drublic are always subject to change in my pecking order

For me:

Ribbed > SLATFATS > PiD > HPZ > PUTV > S&M > White Trash > WoE > WIWC > MRnR > LA (not counting Beer Bong)

I don't think I forgot any. WIWC is a good album, but compared to older NOFX, it doesn't stand a chance.
