Like Punk? then help a fellow punk out.
 

I LOVE NoFX, i have most of their cds. Surfer, heavy petting zoo, white trash two heebs and a bean, pump up the valluum, punk in drublic, war on errorism, the list could go on and on. well, im looking for another band with a NoFX kind of sound, could anyone help me out?


-NuKE (ssjtwizta)

Cant say I've heard anyone quite like NOFX. I'll look through what I have though.

I would suggest Pennywise or the Vandals. Both of them are fucking great.

I've always been a Operation Ivy/Rancid kind of guy, if you haven't tried them, that's first on my list.
Then it goes

Bouncing Souls
Dropkick Murphys
there's a ton of punk bands out there that are good, those are off the top of my head, let me think about this and come back.

Shit,

I forgot the obvious one, Me First and The Gimme Gimmes, and Swingin Utters

yeah, of COARSE me first and the gimme gimmes, after all fat mike is in the band. yeah i got at least 1 cd from all the bands named so far.

Lagwagon is a departure of sorts, but they could be considered a RIYL band. Reset (the band) is also somewhat reminiscent to me of Punk in Drublic.

Bad Religion. Well, they are my favorite and I like NOFX too.

Propagandhi, it sounds like a more political Nofx

no use for a name, pretty much any band on fat wreck chords (fat mike's label), most mentioned so far are on that label. good riddance. hi standard (similar, except from japan with funny vocals.)

im 90% sure fat mike plays bass for propagandhi

I have to agree with the Pennywise recommendation. I also really like the Aquabats. My boy introduced me to them. They have a nice surfer/punk sound.

The Queers are great also. Some of my friends that really get into punk listen to Guttermouth a lot. I like it pretty well. =D

Reggie and the Full Effect, Sunny Day Real Estate - emo/punk...good stuff, IMO.

Fat Wreck Chords is a great label, check out some peeps on Lookout Records.

I haven't really spent a whole lot of time listening to NOFX, but these are some of the better punk bands I've heard.

...Oh yeah, on an afternote, try the Ziggens. :)

Everyone has said pretty much what I'd suggest. The only ones I can think to add would be 30footfall and the Vandals. They're both pretty Nofx-esque.

Avril Lavigne

*duck and run*;)

Someone recently suggested Against Me! I kind of like them, have some different sounding songs. Along the lines of Dropkick Murphys, I actually like Flogging Molly a bit better.

Guttermouth is pretty much a NoFX rip off. They don't have the full ballsy sound that NoFX does though. But silly lyrics and ball busting speed.

The thing about N0FX is there music is so over produced you're gonna have a hard time matching their sound.

Are you just looking for bands in the same spirit or bands with the same style?

The Ziggens are a staple at my University's radio station. They rock!

You might like Mest or Fall Out Boy. It's hard to name a punk band that has a similiar sound to NOFX, because they're quite original, mostly because they've been around forever.

I'm watchin' you Focker!!!!:D

I'm 100% sure he doesn't

Fat Mike isnt in Propagandhi. They are silly canucks.

Vandals are similar to NOFX. But I cant find someone that fits that mold. Could be that Fat Mike is a God.

G.G. Allin! not like NOFX, but it's pretty cool stuff!
