NOFX

Zero major labels, zero MTV videos, zero corporate compromises: 220 BPM skate-punk gallops, horn-section ska breakdowns, and 18-minute punk rock operas.

Formed in Los Angeles in 1983 by bassist/vocalist Fat Mike, guitarist Eric Melvin, and drummer Erik 'Smelly' Sandin, reaching their definitive four-piece form in 1991 with virtuoso lead guitarist/trumpeter El Hefe. Selling over 8 million records independently and anchoring Fat Wreck Chords, NOFX defined 1990s skate-punk with 'Punk in Drublic' and 'The Decline'.
