NOFX

NOFX is a punk band from California, sometimes referred to in the underground music press as "the funniest band in rock and roll." They were formed in 1983 by high school-aged "Fat Mike" (real name Mike Burkett), Erik Sandin and Eric Melvin in Los Angeles. While the band insists there is no meaning behind their name, it is commonly attributed to either being based on the Boston punk band Negative FX, or standing for "No Fucking Straight Edge".
