Todo empezó cuando Fat Mike quiso fundar un grupo punk que tuviese buenas letras y buenas canciones, que grabase discos y saliese a tocar, para esto buscó a su amigo Erik.
Grabaron Liberal Animation en 1988 con Brett de Bad Religion, y fue relanzado en 1991 en la firma de Brett, Epitaph Records. NOFX firmó con Epitaph en 1989, sacando a la luz el LP S&M Airlines. En el mismo año nació, de la mano de Fat Mike, el sello Fat Wreck Chords, que pronunciado correctamente suena como "Fat Records".

GCG When they tightly strapped me in, gave me lethal injection BmEmCD just a few more minutes to live, no remorse for what i did GCG its for the betterment of man, i gave the utmost sacrifice BmCG before more damage could be done i took his life GDEmC theres a split second of silence as the dart punctured his skin GD beady eyes rolled back in head, body dropped from the poison GDEmC they could incapacitate me but could not erase my sneer GD i heard a thousand people screaming while three billion others cheered EmCD he was gone, and I would soon be GCG Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain BmEmCD i was not criminally insane, in fact, i was found to be GCG an otherwise caring and respectable member of society BmCG a minor threat except for that one man i killed GDEmC As the sedetives take affect, i just smile and close my eyes GD theres a priest kneeling next to me, he asked me if i realized GDEmC i was going straight to hell and he thought that i should know GD that the man i killed's replacement planned this whole scenario EmCD (outro)GCGBmCEmAmG and what i did had no significance at all
