NOFX

NOFX

One of the most prolific names in punk rock today, NOFX is one of the most successful independently-managed bands in the business. Over six million of NOFX’s records were sold by the band themselves, showing true DIY spirit. They’ve told MTV along with other major media outlets to leave them “the fuck alone”. When Green Day, Rancid, and the Offspring began their rapid ascent into the mainstream in the mid-90s, NOFX was right behind them. Unlike the other bands, however, NOFX has resisted the mainstream. They turned down most offers to do an interview, and released only a handful of music videos, claiming that people were just trying to take advantage of the band for their own gain.

Also, keeping with punk’s political origins, NOFX has been at the cutting edge of left-wing rage since before Bush was president. But once the Republican party retook the White House in 2000 NOFX had made their hatred of the Bush Administration part of their public image. With other top-selling rock artists NOFX spearheaded the “Rock Against Bush” campaign in which artists from across the rock spectrum compiled politically-driven songs into several volumes of CDs.

More than 25 years and still going, NOFX recently released a new album, “Coaster”, and will be playing the 2009 Vans Warped Tour.
