NOFX
The loopy, multi-pseudonymed musicians in NOFX got together during the heyday of the SoCal hardcore scene. After the dissolution of the LA band False Alarm in 1984, singer/bassist/songwriter Mike Burkett -- then known as Misfit Mike -- formed NOFX. The quartet’s first singles and EPs appeared throughout the late ‘80s on the tiny California indie, Mystic Records. In 1987, Burkett, now re-christened Fat Mike, launched his own label, Fat Wreck Chords, with NOFX’s Tipper Gore-baiting single, “The P.M.R.C. Can Suck On This.” Soon Mike and his cohorts -- guitarist Eric Melvin, trumpeter/guitarist El Hefe (Aaron Abeyta), and drummer Erik Ghint (Erik Sandin) -- had signed with another musician-led label, Epitaph Records, and released the album S&M Airlines. Endless touring pounded NOFX’s sound into tight punk-pop that enthralled a growing cult of young fans. In the mid-‘90s, the success of fellow Epitaph bands Bad Religion and The Offspring drew attention to NOFX as well, yet the quartet spurned mainstream success, refusing to tame its outrageous, defiantly juvenile sense of humor. Its refusal to compromise on countless releases (eight albums and counting on Epitaph; assorted singles, EPs, and live recordings on FWC) has carved NOFX its own niche in the suburban punk hall of fame. |

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, this won’t change your mind -- “Lower” is NOFX doing their trademark sound yet again, though with some interesting post-punk touches this time out.
