NOFX reveal a new documentary “40 Years of F****n Up”

A feature-length documentary on the legendary punk band is presently in post-production, according to Fat Mike, one of NOFX‘s founding members, as per Blabbermouth. On Friday, January 16, Fat Mike’s purported birthday, the revelation was made at the NOFX display at the Punk Rock Museum. “This Is Spinal Tap” is the non-fiction version of “40 Years Of Fuckin’ Up”. The movie is about the notorious, somewhat unknown, and adored punk music group NOFX. This is the incredible account of how a bunch of drug-addled, untalented teenage punks turned into the most successful indie band in history. And they did it independently and carelessly.

Most people wouldn’t be okay with releasing a film that shows footage of getting whipped in their dungeon, or their drug use for the past 20 years, or dressing up like a rubber cheap whore, or the ambulance ride when they were naked while puking and shitting blood… I’m not like most people. – Fat Mike

James Buddy Day, the director of “The Secrets We Bury,” “Psycho: The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein,” and “Thirst Trap: The Fame,” is the director of NOFX‘s “40 Years Of Fuckin’ Up.” The Fallout: The Fantasy (“Fall River”). The film is produced by Fat Mike and stars Erik “Smelly” Sandin, Eric Melvin, Aaron “El Hefe” Abeyta, and Fat Mike. Fat Mike, Aaron “El Hefe” Abeyta, Erik Sandin, Eric Melvin, Gary Ousdahl, James Buddy Day, Cisco Adler, and Jon Nadeau are among Pyramid Productions’ executive producers. The director of photography is Nathaniel Harper. Matt Nasir and Fat Mike wrote the score.

Working with Fat Mike, the band and the entire NOFX crew has been like nothing I’ve ever experienced. This is the punkest band ever — and their story is exactly as insane as you’d expect: hilarious, painful, reckless, and deeply human. Digging through decades of footage, I saw things I’ll never unsee — but that honesty is what makes this film essential. – Buddy Day

A number of NOFX tracks that have not yet been released will be included in “40 Years Of Fuckin’ Up” and can only be heard at a movie screening.
