NOFX share new song ‘Linewleum,’ announce new record

Buckle up, NOFX fans! The band’s latest full-length, ‘Single Album,’ drops on Feb. 26th, and you can pre-order it today. NOFXalso shared the lead single ‘Linewleum,’ along with the video featuring Avenged Sevenfold.

Fat Mike himself shared about the single: I have no idea why ‘Linoleum’ is THE NOFX song that is covered by so many bands, while other NOFX songs get hardly any attention. ‘Linoleum’ wasn’t a single; it had no video; it got no radio play, and most importantly, it didn’t even have a chorus!!! All popular songs have choruses! WTF!

So, one night I stayed up till 4:00 am checking out all the different versions on YouTube. Watching hundreds of bands from over 28 countries (mostly Indonesia) doing ‘Linoleum’ was a humbling experience for me. So I decided to write a song that was a shout-out to all those people that learned those four chords and remembered the non-rhyming lyrics. Then I asked the biggest of all the bands (Avenged Sevenfold) to play some leads on the song. Then M Shadows suggested we do a video together. Then I figured I should put all of the bands in the video. Well, I couldn’t fit all the bands, but I picked a bunch of cool ones! 

A song about not playing a song that’s not a hit song with a video about other bands covering the song! This is why I love punk rock and writing punk songs. Rules out the door!”
