NOFX have released the soundtrack and score to their career spanning documentary ’40 Years of Fuckin’ Up’. The documentary, which covers the entire history of NOFX, is only able to be seen in theaters during a tour of the film as Fat Mike of the band has stated it won’t ever get a digital release.
Last Wednesday, the film expanded its theatrical run to 232 cities in the US and across the world (including international screenings in Australia, New Zealand, and across Europe). Tickets are available HERE.
To celebrate the album, the band will also be releasing the live video for the album focus track “We Did It Our Way” today. The performance was originally livestreamed as part of the NOFX Final Shows in San Pedro, CA on 10/6/24.
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 and performed alongside a full orchestra, marking a bold evolution of his writing and composition.
In addition to new material such as “40 Years of Fuckin’ Up” and “We Did It Our Way,” 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 LP, 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up: Soundtrack + Score also includes a 24-page retrospective photo book documenting the band’s 40-year history through rare and previously unseen images. The release features original cover art illustrated by Tokyo Hiro.
DIRECTOR JAMES BUDDY DAY SHARES:
“We made a documentary, but what’s happening in theatres feels bigger than that. Every city has turned into this celebration of NOFX, punk rock, and the people who grew up with the band.”
NOFX’S EL HEFE SHARES:
“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.”
FAT MIKE OF NOFX SHARES:
When NOFX started to put together this documentary, we decided to release it to the world in the same way we’ve done everything in our career. Our way. We want our fans to congregate in cool movie theaters that have bars and not a lot of rules. We want showings of this film to be a celebration. We want it to feel like you’re going to a NOFX show. We want our fans to have a really good time together like they did when they would see us play live!
