NOFX Announce 2023 Breakup: “It’s Been an Amazing Run”

NOFX Announce 2023 Breakup: “It’s Been an Amazing Run”

NOFX—the Los Angeles skate punk band currently made up of Michael “Fat Mike” Burkett, Eric Melvin, Erik “Smelly” Sandin, and Aaron “El Hefe” Abeyta—are officially breaking up in 2023, Rolling Stone reports.

Burkett indirectly announced the news on Instagram, where he replied to a fan asking why they don’t tour Canada very often. “Actually, we love Canada, it’s just that next year will be our last year,” he wrote. “We will be announcing our final shows soon. It’s been an amazing run…” A rep for the band later spoke with Rolling Stone and confirmed the accuracy of the statement.

NOFX formed in 1983, when Burkett met Melvin and first adopted the band name. In 1984, they released their first demo recording, Thalidomide Child, which was reissued in 2012. They were later joined by Sandin on drums, self-releasing their debut album Liberal Animation in 1988. The LP has since followed by more than a dozen studio albums including 1994’s Punk in Drublic, 1997’s So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes, and most recently, 2021’s Single Album. The band is currently on tour as part of their Punk in Drublic festival.
