Today, FAT Wreck Chords and iconic West Coast punks NOFX release their new album Double Album. Produced by Bill Stevenson (Descendents) and Jason Livermore (Blasting Room), Double Album brims with unbridled creativity, cheeky lyrics, and easily stands as one of NOFX’s best albums to date.
What better way to celebrate an album release than a tour. NOFX are here in Australia as part of Good Things Festival kicking off today.
At this point in your career, why do a double album?
“I wish I knew,” the fat one offers, almost confounded why anyone would ever ask him that question in the first place. “OK. I mean, we have a lot of records. I’m not sure how many, let’s call it 15 with 10 more EPs and 65 7″s. I wanted to do a double album cuz there are no good ones out there. Pink Floyd’s The Wall is about it. Quadrophenia is OK, I guess, if you’re a Who fan. Definitely not [The Beatles’] White Album. I don’t think anybody else has made good double albums. Certainly not Husker Du, Minutemen, or Smashing Pumpkins.“
