NOFX

No one has ever suggested that NOFX lacks a sense of humour. Hell, if you don’t find the title of 1992’s White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean funnier than fuck, you probably don’t get South Park either. Over the course of its nearly a quarter-century together, the staunchly indie quartet has moved from defiantly stoopid punk rock (“You Put Your Chocolate in My Peanut Butter”) to something that approaches semi-intelligent social commentary (“You’re Wrong”). Over the past eight years, they’ve also proven to be among the most outspoken artists in punk rock. While most modern Mohawks are busy sending friend requests on the Internet, NOFX—at the sold-out Commodore on Friday (May 9)—has been waging a protracted musical war on George W. Bush. That it’s been about as successful as what’s going on in Iraq is no reason not to sing along to “Idiot Son of an Asshole”, because as sure as White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean was originally titled White Trash, Two Kikes and a Spic, that song is funnier than fuck.
