The show is hosted by the members of the punk rock band, NOFX, including Fat Mike, Eric Melvin, El Hefe, and Erik Sandin.

As the band travels to each location, they explore the city and immerse themselves in the local scene. They try the local cuisine, learn about the history and culture of the area, and even participate in some of the local traditions, such as Russian sauna or Japanese tea ceremony.

Throughout the series, there are a number of comedic moments as the band encounters language barriers, cultural differences, and technical difficulties during their performances.

One aspect of the show that stands out is the intimate look at the behind-the-scenes aspects of touring. We see the logistics of what it takes to transport a band from one country to another, and the physical and emotional toll that touring can take on the members. There are moments where the band members express frustration with each other or with the tour, but they ultimately come together to make the most of the experience.

In addition to the band members, there are a number of other personalities that appear throughout the series. This includes local promoters, venue owners, and other musicians. Some of these individuals provide an insight into the local music scene, while others serve as comedic relief.
