Early years (1983–1987)

[edit]

In 1983, guitarist Eric Melvin met bassist/vocalist Mike Burkett (Fat Mike) and started the band under the name NO-FX, after aBostonhardcore punk band calledNegative FX.[7]At this time, they were joined by drummer Erik "Smelly" Sandin. NOFX's first recording was a demo[8]from 1984, entitledThalidomide Child,produced byGermsdrummerDon Bolles,which did not sell many copies,[citation needed]andFat Mikeonce claimed that no copies existed.[citation needed]The demo would be re-released in 2012.[9][10]The group released its self-titled debut extended playNOFXonMystic Recordsin 1985; it was later re-released in 1992 as part of theMaximum RocknrollCD.

The band's line-up underwent numerous changes prior to 1991. For a year, Erik "Smelly" Sandin left the band and was replaced by Scott Sellers, and later by Scott Aldahl. Dave Allen was in the band for about four months, until he died in a car accident.[11]In 1986, the band released the extended playSo What If We're on Mystic!.Dave Casillas joined the band on second guitar in 1987 and was featured on the extended playThe P.M.R.C. Can Suck on This,attacking thePMRC's campaign for music censorship. The original cover was an editedS&Mphoto; the cover for the re-released version was changed to a photo ofEric Melvin.Prior to the release ofLiberal Animation,a compilation of 14 early NOFX songs was released onMystic Records.The album was self-titled, and featured the songs from theNOFXandSo What If We're on Mystic!extended plays, and only around 1,000 copies were pressed. The album's cover was a redesigned version of the cover from theNOFXextended play.

First four albums and signing to Epitaph (1988–1993)

[edit]

NOFX recorded their debut studio albumLiberal Animationin 1988 withBrett GurewitzofBad 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 theLiberal Animationalbum.[12]The album was reissued in 1991 on Gurewitz's labelEpitaph Records.Casillas left the band shortly after the recording ofLiberal Animationand was replaced by Steve Kidwiler. The band released its second studio album,S&M Airlines,through Epitaph in 1989.

In 1991, NOFX released its third studio album,Ribbed.Shortly after the album was released, Steve Kidwiler left the band, andAaron Abeyta(a.k.a. "El Hefe" ) joined the group. With Abeyta, the band recorded the extended playThe Longest Line,followed by the studio albumWhite Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean,released in May and November 1992 respectively. Also in 1992, NOFX's former labelMystic RecordsreleasedMaximum Rocknroll,which compiles early singles and demo songs and is a reissue of their 1989 long-out-of-print compilation tapeE Is for Everything.Despite being referred to as an "official" release,Fat Mikehas been quoted as saying that he did not know that the album existed until he saw a copy of it "in a store."[13]

Rise to popularity (1994–1999)

[edit]
Founding memberEric Melvin

In the wake of the 1990spunk rock revivalrevolution (dominated byGreen Day,The Offspring,Bad ReligionandRancid), NOFX released their fifth studio albumPunk in Drublicin July 1994. It is one of the band's most successful albums, peaking at number twelve onBillboard'sHeatseekerschart,[14]and obtaininggold statussix years after its release.[3]Although one of the album's singles "Leave It Alone" got airplay onactive rockradio stations, the most notable beingKROQ,[15][16]its music video never received airplay on MTV. Fat Mike has been quoted saying, "We made the 'Leave It Alone' video, and we decided not to send it to MTV. We just didn't want to be a part of that machine, of that 'punk wave.'"[17]

Due to the success ofPunk in Drublic,NOFX received many offers to sign with major record labels, but the band declined the offers. In 1995, the band released its first live album,I Heard They Suck Live!!.In the liner notes the band explicitly rejected the advances of major record labels and radio airplay, stating "We've been doing fine all these years without you so leave us alone!"Punk in Drublicis now considered a classic punk album by fans and critics alike.

Punk in Drublicwas followed by 1996'sHeavy Petting Zoo,whose LP companion featured different cover art and the nameEating Lamb.The artwork for the CD featured a man holding a sheep, while the LP depicted the same man in a69position with the sheep. TheEating Lambversion was banned from sale in Germany due to its obscene cover art. The LP version did not achieve the success of its predecessor, although it was the first NOFX record to achieve a position on theBillboardcharts, reaching number 63. Fat Mike stated: "Weird record. I thought it was the coolest record when we finished it, but a few months later I wasn't so sure. Some of those songs are kinda weird. I like the cover a lot though. I think it sold well in Belgium."[18]

In 1997, the band releasedSo Long and Thanks for All the Shoes,a return to faster punk, as exemplified by the frenetic opening track, "It's My Job to Keep Punk Rock Elite."

NOFX releasedThe Decline,an 18-minute single-track extended play, which served as a fiery and cynical social commentary, in 1999.The Decline,clocking in at 18:23, is the second-longest punk song ever recorded (behindCrass' 20-minute song "Taking Sides").[19]

Move from Epitaph to Fat Wreck Chords (2000–2008)

[edit]

NOFX released its eighth studio album,Pump Up the Valuum,in 2000. It was the band's final album released through Epitaph, as the band decided to sign to Fat Mike's own label,Fat Wreck Chords.

In 2002, the band recordedBYO Split Series Volume III,a split album withRancid,in which Rancid covered NOFX songs and NOFX covered Rancid songs.

The song "Separation of Church and Skate" from the album was featured in the gameTony Hawk's Underground.[20]In 2004, a previously unreleased demo version of their song "Concerns of a GOP Neo-Phyte" was contributed to the compilation albumTake Action! Vol. 4.

That's why there are songs on there aboutIron MaidenandTegan and Sara.I'm reaching, man. Sometimes I grab stuff just to grab stuff, and I'm going in a lot of different directions. "[37]In December 2011, Fat Mike revealed toPhoenix New Timesthat he has begun work on a new NOFX album and a soundtrack to a "fetish film" calledRubber Bordello.[38]
