Before NOFX became kings of pop-punk in the ’90s, the group was a second-rate, laughed-at leftover of the West Coast hardcore scene. But the seemingly silly band came into its own with clever, irreverent, and immaculately catchy albums like 1994’s Punk In Drublic. Time has once again been unkind to NOFX, although the band’s wit and knack for hyper-speed hooks sound better as pop-punk gets increasingly sterile. Aside from an ambitious EP, The Decline, the band's output over the past decade is basically interchangeable. The latest, Coaster, came out in the spring of 2009.
