NOFX is a punk band from the Bay Area, California, United States. Formed in 1983, the current lineup includes Fat Mike (Mike Burkett), El Hefe (Aaron Abeyta), Eric Melvin and Erik Sandin. They operate under the record labels of Epitaph Records and Fat Wreck Chords.
Recent albums have included War on Errorism, Wolves in Wolves Clothing, Pump up the Valium/Valuum. They are still touring and producing records, and Fat Mike has produced many musical acts of varying types and qualities.
The themes of many of this band's songs have included drugs, anti-Republican and anti-American sentiments. Because of this, they are largely disliked in conservative American culture.
The band, which has a white lead singer, wrote two highly controversial songs, entitled "Don't call me White"(which referring to that people should not be judged by their skin color but by what they've done and who they are as a person) and "Kill all the White Man" (the latter was sung by El Hefe, a Mexican American).[1]
Fat Mike, the lead singer, is known as the founder of Fat Wreck Chords, one of the most credited punk music distributions.
