What do you do when you’ve conquered every
frontier in the indie music world and helped shape
the entire punk rock landscape? Well, there are
always recreational distractions (see album cover),
but there is also the notion that you go back to your
roots. For NOFX’s Fat Mike that meant teaming up
with one of his favorite, albeit lesser known, punk
rock acts, The Spits, to release a split 7”. Made up of
four tracks (two from each band), the split exhibits
the straight forward gritty sound that got NOFX
where they are today, alongside the trademark
fuzz-laden garage punk The Spits are (marginally)
famous for.
The bands got so “involved” with the cover art that
they forgot to give the 7” an actual name. Whoops.
Oh well, in the end it doesn’t really matter. See, the
7” is going to be a one time only limited vinyl
pressing (no digital), so, whether it has a title or
not, people are gonna be losing their shit trying to
get their hands on a copy. You’d be wise to do the
same.
