By 1991, the band's lineup had undergone numerous changes; however, the original three members had reunited, and Aaron Abeyta (a.k.a. El Hefe) joined to round out the group.

It would be their final album on Epitaph, as the band decided to move on to Fat Mike's own label Fat Wreck Chords.
2002 saw the band record BYO Split Series, Vol. 3, a split album with Rancid in which Rancid covered NOFX songs and NOFX covered Rancid songs. In 2003, NOFX released War on Errorism, an album of political songs. It became the start of their anti-George W. Bush campaign, and a rallying point for l
eftist punks. Fat Mike organized the website punkvoter.com, compiled two chart-topping Rock Against Bush CDs, and kicked off a Rock Against Bush U. S. tour. In February 2005, the band launched the NOFX 7" of the Month Club, a subscription-based service which saw the release of one new EP almost mont

, drunkest, funnest, best sounding recording ever ... and they even made sure not to play any songs off their 1995 live album I Heard They Suck Live."[8] NOFX launched a world tour in September 2007, which included concerts in Israel (Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Haifa). During their final concert in I
srael (7 September in Haifa), vocalist Fat Mike inadvertently struck guitarist Eric Melvin with his bass guitar during their performance of "Bottles to the Ground," breaking the guitar's neck and leaving a bloody gash on Eric Melvin's forehead. (The band completed their scheduled set amidst the audi
ence's cheers to Eric Melvin's good humor and perseverance.) Music style and influences The band's sound is diverse, utilizing elements of melodic hardcore, skate punk, ska, and other music genres. Their lyrics generally satirize issues such as politics, society, various subcultures, racism, the mus
ic industry, and religion. They cite their influences as Adrenalin O.D., Rich Kids on LSD, The Sex Pistols, and The Subhumans.[9] [edit] Relationship with the media For years the band has consented to very few interviews and have only made a few music videos, citing the fact that they do not need
any more exposure and that people were exploiting them.[10] In recent years Fat Mike has consented to more interviews, including four different interviews with Nardwuar between 2002 and 2006.[11] The band has also refused permission for their music videos to be played on MTV, VH1, and similar music
channels, although they made a live appearance on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 2004.[12] The credits on the album Heavy Petting Zoo call on MTV, along with major labels, to "leave them the fuck alone." In the movie Airheads, there is a scene showing Steve Buscemi holding a CD of their al
bum White Trash, 2 Heebs, and a Bean.
