“Fat Mike Gets Strung Out” Classical Album Announced

Today, Fat Wreck Chords have announced that Fat Mike has joined forces with his friend Bastien “Bad” Brisson to create an extraordinary project: Fat Mike Gets Strung Out. This album takes NOFX‘s beloved tunes and transforms them into classical masterpieces. The album officially drops on September 15th, and you can now hear the first song, Fuck Day Six.

“Why make a strings album? It’s not because I always like to push my limits. It’s because I wanted to hear what my songs sound like without guitar chords and those pesky vocals and backup vocals. I wanted to hear every note in its purest form. I wanted a sad song to sound sad even though there are no words. I wanted to make something I thought my parents would play at a dinner party….well, if they were alive. I wanted to make something that would be liked by more than just punk fans. But mostly, I just wanted to have fun making an album I had never made before… And guess what? Baz and I are almost done with the next album. Fun!” (Fat Mike)
