April 19 street date (CD)/May 24 street date (LP). Over the past few years, NOFX have unleashed their very first double album in the form of 2021's "Single Album", followed by "Double Album" a year later. What fans didn't know is that wasn't all there was to this masterpiece. That's right, NOFX's first and only double album has a 5th side! "Half Album" is the final chapter to NOFX's epic double album. The songs that comprise this EP - as well as its two predecessors - were all recorded at the same time. "Half Album" is not simply the leftover songs from this session, but rather an integral part that ties the entire project together. "Half Album" isn't the last record they will release, but it is the beginning of the end of NOFX as we know them. It's also proof, despite its title, that NOFX doesn't do things by halves. This might be called "Half Album", but it's part of a much bigger legacy and an even greater whole.
May 24 street date. Resolicitation at a higher price. All preorders have been cancelled.

Please note new street date: March 26 street date (LP) / February 26 street date (CD). After nearly 40 years, what is left to say about NOFX? Can a band continue to shake it up after almost four decades as a band? The answer to this question lies on "Single Album", the quartet's 14th full-length studio album. It is, as frontman and bassist Fat Mike describes, "a dark album". That wasn't the original intent. By early 2020, NOFX had written and recorded enough songs for a planned double album to be released that fall. Like so much about 2020, those plans changed. The band decided they had fell short of making the perfect double album, so they scrapped some tracks, and condensed it down to one solid single album. Hence the title. Recorded at Motor Studios in San Francisco with Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore (Rise Against, Alkaline Trio), "Single Album" gets more personal than NOFX ever has before. The result of these 10 tracks is a NOFX album that is both familiar and unpredictable traits that legions of adoring fans have grown to love about the band.

Please note new street date: October 30. It has been more than 20 years since NOFX released arguably one of the most important (and looooooongest) song in punk rock history. While the world was a very different place way back in 1999, "The Decline" is still just as relevant (if not more-so) today. After years of teasing to release a live version of this nearly 20 minutes opus in its entirety, the time has finally come. NOFX is ready to unleash "The Decline Live at Red Rocks". The song was played at the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater alongside a full orchestra (Baz and his Orchestra)! NOFX fans have longed for the day they would get to hear this elusive live track, and now they get it from the comfort of their living room. If that wasn't enough, also included is a brand new unreleased song on the b-side! Fans will be clamoring to get their hands on this one.
Aug. 3 street date. FAT's fan-favorite "Live in a Dive" is back!!! And who better to revive this classic live series than Fat Mike's very own NOFX? And yes, "Ribbed: Live in a Dive" is the classic 1991 NOFX "Ribbed" album from start to finish! This gives us what we expect from a NOFX show: equal parts punk rock and comedy hour, chock full of all the wit and hijinks you can handle. On NOFX’s previous live records they changed up the old classics a bit. Fast songs became slow songs, slow jams became fast-paced rippers; all the while sprinkling in their signature drunkenness and glaring mistakes. However, fans who love the original "Ribbed" studio LP, fear not! There was no messing around when they recorded this thing in 2012 at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles, CA. All 14 songs are played true to their original form. Vinyl edition includes download.
October 7 street date. What’s really left to say about NOFX? For over thirty years the reigning kings of punk rock have remained relevant by continuing to push the boundaries of their music and lyrics in a way that’s as endearing as it is infectious. For that reason it’s remarkably apt that the band’s latest LP First Ditch Effort is also their thirteenth, because ominous black clouds hang over this collection of songs that see frontman/bassist Fat Mike exploring self-loathing and mortality in a more raw and honest way than he ever has before. Mike credits much of this to the writing process behind NOFX: The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories, the band’s New York Times Bestselling memoir that forced him to confront his ghosts and revisit his past in ways that weren’t always comfortable. Additionally, having focused so much energy on writing songs for a Broadway musical over the past few years, Fat Mike’s songwriting on First Ditch Effort benefits from a similarly nuanced and varied approach, while simultaneously spitting out all the pent up angst and aggression that was necessarily reserved for NOFX songs. Guided by the collaborative influence of producer Cameron Webb (Motorhead, Alkaline Trio, Social Distortion, Pennywise), the album busts out of the gate with the amped up “Six Years on Dope” and never looks back. From the ultra-melodic word-play of “Oxy Moronic” to the charging desperation of “I Don’t Like Me Anymore”, First Ditch Effort flexes the broad spectrum of NOFX’s abilities and delivers on the musicianship, wit, and element of surprise that fans have come to expect. (LP includes a digital download of album)

January 13 street date. 25th anniversary edition of NOFX's "So Long And Thanks For All The Shoes", pressed on neopolitan striped coloured vinyl. "This was recorded in San Francisco with Ryan Greene at Motor Studios. A nice place to record a punk record. The title is not referring to Airwalk or Vans, it is from a Douglas Adams book called, "So Long And Thanks For All The Fish". We tend to get hit with a lot of shoes when we play so we thought it was a good title. It's not our last album. Nate from the Bosstones came by and played guitar on a couple songs. That was pretty cool. We kinda went for more of an old school sound on this record. More hardcore than the previous one. I like it. Favourite song - "Desperation's Gone". Too bad about ska getting mainstream, I don't think I wanna play it anymore" - NOFX.
Please note new street date: Dec 16 (CD) / April 21 (LP). 2021 saw the release of NOFX's highly acclaimed, 14th studio album "Single Album". What fans didn't know then, is that "Single Album" is only one half of what has ultimately become NOFX's very first double album; the second half of which is aptly titled "Double Album". Reuniting with punk-rock legends Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore for producer/ engineering/mixing duties; it's not hyperbolic to say NOFX are making their best music now. "Double Album" reminds both ardent fans and casual listeners that NOFX weren't born to follow trends. Indeed NOFX have carved their logo into the veneer of punk-rock culture for decades. With nearly 40 years in this circus, you're going to meet people and do/see/conspire to get all the wildest shit done. "Double Album" is filled with moods, tales and tempos slightly faster than an ice-road trucker backsliding down a hill. What's their secret? Quite simply, NOFX aren't half-assing anything.
