NOFX Streaming Full New Album 'First Ditch Effort'

(TeamRock) NOFX have made their album First Ditch Effort available to stream online in the run-up to its October 7 release. Frontman Fat Mike says Pennywise guitarist Fletcher Dragge reached out to him after listening to their "painful and personal" 13th album - which explores the singer's past issues, including alcohol and substance abuse.

Speaking to Consequence Of Sound, he adds: "Fletcher said, 'I can't believe you're actually singing these lyrics!' Yep, I went there and I'm proud of this record. This is for sure our most painful and personal album. All my secrets are out there."

Mike says that the poem included on Generation Z is his favourite part of the record, adding: "My stepdaughter reads it, but she's only reading about a quarter of it. To see the entire poem, you gotta look at the lyric sheet.

"I went dark. It stings, but good art is supposed to hurt somebody."Listen to the new album here.
