NOFX release "40 Years of Fuckin' Up" soundtrack and orchestral score

NOFX have put out the soundtrack and score to their documentary "40 Years of Fuckin' Up", which is currently playing in theatres. The double album is streaming now and available on CD and vinyl through the band's own Fat Wreck Chords.

The release is split into two separate listening experiences. The first is an 11-song original score newly composed by Fat Mike and performed with a full orchestra, a notable step forward in his writing. The second is a 15-song soundtrack that includes two brand new NOFX tracks, "40 Years of Fuckin' Up" and "We Did It Our Way", the latter written as the last NOFX song the band ever intends to play live.

Also in the collection are six rare and previously unreleased recordings: demos of "Secret Society" and "On The Road", a cover of "La Bamba", and live takes of "Linoleum" and "NOFX". Physical copies come with a 24-page retrospective photo book covering the band's four decades, with cover art by Tokyo Hiro.

Guitarist El Hefe said the film was made entirely DIY, with no outside involvement, the same approach the band has taken for more than 40 years. He framed the project as a proper send-off aimed both at longtime fans and at listeners who never got to see what the band was about, adding that the reaction to the documentary has been humbling.
