NOFX have spoken publicly for the first time since being slammed for making a "disgusting and callous" joke about last year's Las Vegas shooting during a gig on Sunday.
Frontman Fat Mike commented on the shooting during the band's set at Vegas' Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival, saying, "at least [the victims] were country fans".
Since then, Stone Brewing, the company that manufactures NOFX's beer, has cut all ties with the US punk group, while they've also been dropped from their Punk In Drublic festival line-up taking place in Ohio this weekend.

Me First & The Gimme Gimmes, which also features Fat Mike, have also been cut from the bill.
A statement issued this morning, presumably by Fat Mike, was posted on NOFX's Facebook this morning.
"I can’t sleep, no one in my band can. What we said in Vegas was shitty and insensitive and we are all embarrassed by our remarks," the statement reads.
"So we decided we will all get together to discuss and write an in depth, sincere, and honest apology because that’s what the people we offended and hurt deserve."
