NOFX’s brand new five-track EP, ‘Half Album’, is dropping today. The songs on ‘Half Album’ were born in the same studio sessions that spawned their bangers, ‘Single Album’ (2021) and ‘Double Album’ (2022).
Leading the charge is ‘I’m A Rat,’ a pure shot of NOFX’s signature skate punk energy. Initially recorded by Japan’s Hi-Standard, the song gets the full NOFX treatment here, complete with a riotous puppet-themed music video. There’s a fresh take on The Smiths’ classic ‘The Queen Is Dead,’ previously explored in a stripped-down rendition of Fat Mike’s 2019 solo album ‘Cokie The Clown.’ The EP closes with ‘The Last Drag,’ a powerful companion piece to ‘The Big Drag’ from ‘Single Album.’
Fat Mike shares: “‘The Last Drag’ is one of my favorite NOFX songs ever, and it makes a perfect bookend with ‘The Big Drag.’” Catch them on their farewell tour, which culminates with a grand finale in LA on October 4th, 5th, and 6th.
