FAT MIKE OF NOFX RELEASES FIRST SINGLE “KIDS OF THE K-HOLE“ FROM THE ORIGINAL SCORE OF THE BAND’S CAREER-SPANNING DOCUMENTARY
FAT WRECK CHORDS
Fat Mike of NOFX shares the first single from the score of the band’s new documentary film: 40 YEARS OF FUCKIN’ UP. The Score was composed by Fat Mike entirely himself, and “Kids Of The K-Hole” is available to stream now.
NOFX recently announced the release of 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up: Soundtrack + Score, the official soundtrack and original score companion to the band’s acclaimed documentary film 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up, arriving everywhere on August 28, 2026.
The expansive double LP release accompanies the documentary currently screening in theaters and celebrates four decades of NOFX’s groundbreaking career, influence, and enduring legacy in punk rock. The film premiered at the 2026 SXSW Festival in March to critical acclaim and has since been officially accepted into both the San Francisco International Film Festival and the Cannes Market. Upcoming screenings have already sold out more than three months in advance.
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 – marking a bold evolution of his writing and composition.
The soundtrack portion includes two brand new unreleased NOFX singles: “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. The lead single “40 Years of Fuckin’ Up” is currently receiving airplay at Alternative radio and across iHeartRadio platforms.
In addition to the new material, the collection includes six rare and unreleased recordings, including “Secret Society (demo),” “On The Road (demo),” and a cover of “La Bamba.” Fans will also find live versions of fan-favorite classics “Linoleum” and “NOFX.”
Packaged as a deluxe double LP, 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up: Soundtrack + Score also includes a 24-page retrospective photo book documenting the band’s 40-year history through rare and previously unseen images. The release features original cover art illustrated by Tokyo Hiro.
40 Years of Fuckin’ Up: Soundtrack + Score will be available everywhere August 28, 2026.
DIRECTOR JAMES BUDDY DAY SHARES: “We made a documentary, but what’s happening in theatres feels bigger than that. Every city has turned into this celebration of NOFX, punk rock, and the people who grew up with the band.”
NOFX’S FAT MIKE SHARES: Most people wouldn’t be ok 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.
NOFX’S EL HEFE SHARES: “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.”
