NOFX – Double Album
Release Date: December 2 – Label: Fat Wreck Chords
NOFX will release its fifteenth studio album ‘Double Album‘ on December 2nd, 2022. On the announce day, NOFX released the single “Darby Crashing,” a reworked version of a song from their 2019-2020 “7 inches of the Month Club.”
NOFX’s Fat Mike also talked about the album:
“I like a challenge. That’s why I wrote The Decline: a seventeen-minute punk song that’s extremely progressive, with an orchestra. I have always got to push myself, and making a double album was harder than I thought. I fell into the same trap other bands do: you think that, because you’re making a double album, you should go in more directions with the songwriting. Then you end up with some mediocrity. When you do a thirty-minute album, you record 18 songs and then you knock it down to 12. That didn’t happen with this album. There’s too much material and you want a well-rounded double album, which is so hard to make. The Beatles did it [with The White Album] but they have a bunch of shitty songs. Revolution 9 is hard to listen to. The White Album should have been a single album.”
Then added:
“I didn’t say that. I’d rather listen to their double album than my double album, but I’m really glad that Single Album and Double Album came out with a year in the middle. Single Album, I’m so happy with that one. It was a great single album and Double Album is a great second half to that, but I wouldn’t pick it as one of our better albums.”
‘Double Album’ Songlist:
- Darby Crashing Your Party
- My Favorite Enemy
- Don’t Count on Me
- Johanna Constant Teen
- Punk Rock Cliché
- Fuck Day Six
- Is It Too Soon if Time Is Relative?
- Alcopollack

- Gone with the Heroined
††† (Crosses) – Permanent.Radiant EP
Release Date: December 9 – Label: Warner
††† (Crosses) – Permanent.Radiant EP will be out on December 9th, 2022. Chino Moreno also talked about the upcoming EP album:
“In the can. It’s just about us now picking and choosing when and how to release it. The idea now is just to slowly put out ‘singles’ and little batches of songs over a long period of time, and then at some point to accumulate it into a full-length record. Trying to steer away from stuff being either too contemporary or too retro.”
There are certain sounds that we’re drawn to, and that has quite a lot to do with the music we grew up listening to. Shaun and I have pretty similar tastes. It’s about using all of those influences, but not making something that sounds like it has been made for today or is trying to sound like the past.”
Permanent.Radiant EP Songlist:
- ‘Sensation’
- ‘Vivien’
- ‘Cadavre Exquis’
- ‘Day One’
- ‘Holier’
- ‘Procession’
