Fat Mike talks about the new NOFX album and their new book


Fat Mike, bassist and singer of the US punk rock classics NOFX have revealed on a recent interview with Media Mikes some details of their new album.

Q: Did you notice any similarities between writing a book and writing an album?

FM: "Our new album is I think our most personable album yet. For me it was like peeling off my skin. The new album which will come out in June is the first album that I wrote and recorded a lot of while I was using drugs. In the past I have always gone into the studio and recorded sober. What I found while working on this album was that I cared more. After I would do a line I became extremely focused on making whatever song I was working on the best it could be. A lot of this came from not only writing the book but also from when I was working on the “Home Street Home” musical. With a musical you can’t put in one word that’s not needed as you have 2 hours to tell an entire story. You can’t waste a word. You will definitely be able to tell the influences of the book and the musical on this new album."
