It’s NOFX!! You know, one of the most imitated punk bands of
the last 25 years, beloved by droves of loyal fans, the standard
bearer in the independent music scene, among the most
influential and often controversial bands of their time, the
most widely traveled group around, the authors of countless
hit songs… Yeah, them. They’ve got a prodigious resume to
be sure and an extensive catalog to back it up: 11 full-length
studio albums, 2 live records, 13 EP’s, and so many 7”s it’ll
give you a headache trying to remember them all. With so
many odds and ends out there, Fat Mike (singer/bassist)
decided it might be nice to cull the majority of their EP’s into
one release, The Longest EP. A collection of 30 songs, The
Longest EP spans NOFX’s first Fat Wreck Chords release The
PMRC Can Suck On This to their latest Cokie the Clown. It
includes 8 tracks that have never been available on cd or
digitally, and 2 songs previously unreleased in any format.
The album’s title continues the band’s trademark witticisms
with a play on the title of NOFX’s most popular EP, The
Longest Line, which itself is included amongst the impressive
track listing. In addition, NOFX commissioned the original
artist that illustrated the now famous cover for The Longest
Line to create the artwork for The Longest EP. With an ardent
and extensive fan base, NOFX’s releases are always met with
great anticipation and The Longest EP will be no different.
Just to up the ante, the vinyl version (double LP) will be a
pressing limited to 2000, which will drive its collectability
through the roof.
