Today, Fat Mike of NOFX has shared the first single from the score of the band’s new documentary film, 40 Years Of Fuckin’ Up, that will be released on August 28th via Fat Wreck Chords. The score was composed by Fat Mike entirely himself, and Kids Of The K-Hole is available to stream now. NOFX recently announced the release of the score and soundtrack from 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up that accompany the band’s acclaimed documentary film 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up. The expansive double album release accompanies the documentary currently screening in theaters and celebrates four decades of NOFX’s groundbreaking career, influence, and enduring legacy in punk rock. The film premiered at the SXSW Festival in March to critical acclaim and has since been officially accepted into both the San Francisco International Film Festival and the Cannes Market. Upcoming screenings have already sold out more than three months in advance.
The release features two distinct musical experiences: an 11-song original score and a 15-song soundtrack. The original score was newly composed by Fat Mike, marking a bold evolution of his writing and composition. The soundtrack portion includes two brand new unreleased NOFX singles, 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up and We Did It Our Way, the latter written as the final NOFX song ever intended to be performed live. In addition to the new material, the collection includes six rare and unreleased recordings, including Secret Society (demo), On The Road (demo), and a cover of La Bamba. Fans will also find live versions of fan-favorite classics Linoleum and NOFX. Packaged as a deluxe double album, 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up also includes a 24-page retrospective photo book documenting the band’s 40-year history through rare and previously unseen images.
“Look, we’ve never done anything the ‘right’ way and making this film was no different. We went in DIY, the same way we’ve done everything for 40-plus years. No suits, no committee, just us figuring it out. We put everything into it. Blood, sweat, tears, probably some other stuff we won’t mention. We wanted to make something for the diehards who’ve been with us since day one, but also for the people who maybe never got to experience what this whole thing was. A proper send-off. A final stamp. And honestly, the response has floored me. I had no idea how deep our music ran with people all over the world. Seeing all that love come back to us as we close this chapter, it’s been incredible. Really humbling. And I don’t say that lightly.” (guitarist El Hefe)
