“Look, we’ve never done anything the ‘right’ way and making this film was no different. We went in DIY, the same way we’ve done everything for 40-plus years. No suits, no committee, just us figuring it out. We put everything into it. Blood, sweat, tears, probably some other stuff we won’t mention. We wanted to make something for the diehards who’ve been with us since day one, but also for the people who maybe never got to experience what this whole thing was. A proper send-off. A final stamp. And honestly, the response has floored me. I had no idea how deep our music ran with people all over the world. Seeing all that love come back to us as we close this chapter, it’s been incredible. Really humbling. And I don’t say that lightly.” (guitarist El Hefe)

The release features two distinct musical experiences: an 11 song original score and a 15 song soundtrack. The original score was newly composed by Fat Mike and performed alongside a full orchestra, marking a bold evolution of his writing and composition. The soundtrack portion includes two brand new NOFX songs, 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up and We Did It Our Way, the latter written as the final NOFX song ever intended to be performed live. In addition to the new material, the collection includes six rare and unreleased recordings, including demos of Secret Society and On The Road, a cover of La Bamba, and live versions of Linoleum and NOFX. The 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up soundtrack also includes a 24-page retrospective photo book documenting the band’s 40-year history through rare and previously unseen images, the release also features original cover art by Tokyo Hiro.

“When NOFX started to put together this documentary, we decided to release it to the world in the same way we’ve done everything in our career. Our way. We want our fans to congregate in cool movie theaters that have bars and not a lot of rules. We want showings of this film to be a celebration. We want it to feel like you’re going to a NOFX show. We want our fans to have a really good time together like they did when they would see us play live!” (guitarist & vocalist Fat Mike)
