NOFX
Formed in Berkeley, CA, in 1983 and relocating to
Los Angeles not long afterwards, NOFX steered clear of major labels
and commercial exposure over the course of their career, recording
an impressive number of full-lengths albums plus an assortment of
EPs and singles. The band started out as a trio comprising
vocalist/bassist
Fat Mike (Mike
Burkett), guitarist
Eric Melvin, and drummer
Erik Sandin (aka
Erik Ghint/Erik
Shun).
Sandin quit in 1985, and his place was taken by
Scott Sellers; that same year, NOFX also recorded two 7" EPs for
the Mystic label,
No F-X and
So What If We're on Mystic?
Sellers quit shortly thereafter and was replaced by
Scott Aldahl for only two weeks, upon which point
Sandin re-joined the band; vocalist
Dave Allen also joined in 1986, but his tenure was tragically
cut short by a fatal car accident.
Dave Casillas joined as a second guitarist later in the year, by
which point NOFX's touring schedule had become far-ranging and
rigorous. The EP
The P.M.R.C. Can Suck on This was released on
Fat Mike's own Fat Wreck Chords label in 1987.
Casillas departed the group in 1989 and was replaced by
Steve Kidwiller for NOFX's first full-length album,
S&M Airlines, which was released on the legendary punk label
Epitaph; the band remained there ever since, despite the release of
several albums -- such as 1995's
I Heard They Suck Live -- and EPs on Fat Wreck Chords,
which gradually grew into a premier stable of punk revival artists.
