NOFX's Punk Rock Empire to be Captured in Intense, Unflinching Documentary
Veteran punk outfit NOFX is about to take fans on a wild ride through four decades of chaos, excess, and survival with the release of their feature-length documentary "40 Years of F**kin' Up". The film, which is currently in post-production, promises to be an unapologetic and uncompromising look at one of punk's most influential bands.
"We're not going to shy away from the crazy stuff," said Fat Mike, NOFX's founding member and primary songwriter. "The documentary will show some pretty wild and uncomfortable stuff – like footage of us getting whipped in our dungeon or puking blood on an ambulance ride."
Directed by James Buddy Day, the film boasts extensive interviews with the band's core lineup, including guitarist Eric Melvin, lead guitarist El Hefe, and drummer Erik Sandin. The documentary also features additional executive producers Gary Ousdahl, Cisco Adler, and Jon Nadeau.
While the trailer has leaned heavily into the band's notorious reputation, Day insists that the film is meant to be a comprehensive portrait of the band's life, rather than just a collection of outrageous moments. "I've never experienced anything like working with NOFX," he said. "This is the punkest band ever – and their story is exactly as insane as you'd expect: hilarious, painful, reckless, and deeply human."
The documentary will also premiere new, unreleased music from the band, which won't be available through traditional channels. Fans can catch sneak-peek screenings of the film in Austin, Texas, before it rolls out to select theaters worldwide in April.
Tickets for screenings are set to go on sale in February, and given NOFX's reputation for pushing boundaries, fans can expect a truly unforgettable experience when "40 Years of F**kin' Up" hits screens.
