Get ready to rock out with NOFX, the punk rock band hailing from Los Angeles, CA! These guys have been tearing up the music scene since 1983, and they’ve released a whopping thirteen full length albums, with seven of them dropping on Epitaph.
But here’s a fun fact: did you know that Greg Graffin, the lead singer of Bad Religion, actually lent his vocals to NOFX’s “S&M Airlines” album back in 1989? He can be heard belting it out on the title track’s chorus and the song “Go Your Own Way”. Talk about an unexpected collaboration!
Now, here’s where things get interesting. When Greg was first invited to the studio to sing for NOFX, he wasn’t exactly impressed. In fact, he thought they were the worst band on the planet!

Brett, the mastermind behind Epitaph, also produced a couple of other NOFX albums, namely “Liberal Animation” (1988) and “Ribbed” (1990). These guys have been making music together for quite some time, and they’ve even thrown in some clever references along the way.
For example, they have a song called “Stranger Than Fishin’” on their album “Fuck The Kids” (1996). And get this, their song “Louise” (1999) features different lyrics set to the music of The Answer. Talk about a creative twist!
In 2001, NOFX released an EP called “Surfer”, and the title and artwork were a hilarious parody of their previous album “Suffer”. Even the NOFX logo and title logo used the same font as Bad Religion’s “BR” and “Suffer”. These guys sure know how to have fun with their music!
And speaking of fun, they’ve even written a song called “I Am A Huge Fan Of Bad Religion” (2005), where they express their love for their fellow punk rockers. They’ve got some pretty catchy lyrics in there, too!
Now, let’s dive into some trivia. When asked about the greatest punk band of all time, Fat Mike, the frontman of NOFX, didn’t hesitate to declare Bad Religion as the hands-down winner. And at some Warped shows in 2000, he didn’t hold back his opinion on
