A NOFX Australian Tour 2014 has been announced, the punk icons’ first visit Down Under in half-a-decade.
Presented by Blue Muder touring, the LA veterans of the punk and hardcore scene will hit our shores this November, playing headline shows in captial cities and regional venues throughout November.
Originally formed in Los Angeles back in 1984, in the same fiery furnaces of the LA hardcore scene that gave us Bad Religion, Suicidal Tendencies, Germs and Descendents, NOFX have remained an influential staple ever since.
NOFX sharpened their teeth in that tumultuous talent pool until they joined forces with Epitaph in 1989 and went on to release a string of crucial punk records. Their first major breakthrough came in the form of 1990’s Ribbed, still a fan favorite, followed up by now-classics White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean and the million-selling Punk in Drublic.
That was a wildly successful decade for NOFX as the band popularized the Warped Tour and was the flagship band for the skate/surf/snow culture of the 1990s. Now on Fat Mike’s own label, Fat Wreck Chords, their third decade was even more fruitful.
The band’s decade-long ban on doing the mainstream press and media was lifted as they sought to actively share their dissent for the Bush Administration and speak out against the invasion of Iraq. And once the floodgates were open, NOFX and their “Rock Against Bush” movement was everywhere leading to the success of their 2003 record, The War on Errorism, which was the #1 independent record in the country at the time if its release and topped Billboard’s Indie chart.
The new NOFX full-length, Self Entitled, released last year, was their 12th studio record. A return to their aggressive roots, the 12 tracks embrace the hostile early LA punk sound while maintaining the trademark technical and melodic sound that NOFX is renowned for.
Don’t miss the NOFX Australian Tour 2014 and the chance to hear an iconic songbook filled with aggressive aural assaults on diverse topics of politics, religion, S&M, and of course, getting punk in drublic.
