NOFX has tapped Codefendants for an angst-driven punk anthem that embodies the best parts of both artist projects. The song marks one of NOFX’s final new recordings, and was one of just several tracks that Fat Mike considered for the band’s (unfinished) final album.
Fat Mike’s other artist project – Codefendants – lent a helping hand to NOFX on this one – making for the ultimate collaborative moment, blending NOFX’s signature sound with the trio’s defiant genre-fluid sound that mixes punk, hip-hop, and hardcore.
“Hey y’all, Fat Mike here…. NOFX never finished our last album. Boo! But we did manage to record drums and guitars on several songs, and out of those, I finished vocals on four of them. This is one of those songs, also… I liked the lyrics on this song a lot, but it needs two singers to sing them. I tried it with Melvin, but it was kinda poopee. So I asked the singers of my other band The Codefendants to sing this song with me cuz they are experienced at singing songs that have way too many lyrics in them…. Some people call it rapping. I also got a Mexican that I used to be in a band with to play some guitar leads. These leads make my ears happy. Thanks Hefe. In conclusion, there’s not a lot of new NOFX songs. I think there’s five or six left that I need to finish…. but I don’t wanna…. so enjoy this one. It’s all there is for a while…. I’m smiling right now…”
