Biography
NOFX are the ultimate punk rock band. They kick arse.
They formed back in 1983 and since that have changed the face of music
forever. When the band first formed it did not include El Hefe or
Erik Ghint, so the band was not as good as it is now. They were pretty
raw and thrashy, especially on Liberal animation. They first signed
with mystic records and they was gonna release animation through this label,
but the asshole who runs it ripped them off. So they released it
independently. They made hardly anything out of it and it looked
like they could be in trouble.
But then a miracle happened, they were signed to Epitaph,
by Mr Brett. Then they started releasing their albums. S &
M airlines was the first album to be released in 1990. Ribbed then
followed in 91 and liberal animation was re-released that same year.
Then in 92, the band became the true NOFX. El Hefe and Erik Ghint
joined the band for the album White trash, two heebs and a bean.
This album rocks.
Their next release and their greatest was Punk in Drublic
in 94. This album was truly a masterpiece. In 95 they released
a live album. They did this because they were sick of wankers making
money of them by recording a concert and making them sound shit.
Then in 96 they released an album which has copped a
hell of a lot of critiscm from their fans. Most people think that
Heavy Petting Zoo is too slow. But I think that it is still a good album.
Some people thought that they could be selling out, but NO FUCKING WAY.
In 97 they released So long and thanks for all the shoes. This album
was more fast paced like their other releases and it made many forget about
heavy petting zoo.
NOFX are really not like most other bands. You
will not hear their songs on the radio and you won't see any film clips
on MTV. They gain support through touring and word of mouth.
They think MTV are fucked cause they wreck bands by making them one hit
wonders.
NOFX ARE THE KINGS O PUNK!!
