NOFX is an EP by the American punk rock band NOFX, released August 2, 2011 through Fat Wreck Chords and consisting entirely of cover versions of hardcore punk songs. The idea for the EP was originally announced in 2009—before the release of the group's eleventh studio album Coaster—and was originally announced to be released exclusively as a 10" vinyl record.[3][4] The EP was also made available in 12" vinyl picture disc and 7" vinyl record formats.[5]

Track listing

The EP features nine cover versions songs that were originally written by "rather obscure American hardcore bands" from the 1980s.[6] The album's packaging does not list any song titles or writing credits. In various interviews, NOFX frontman Fat Mike suggested that the album would include songs by Necros, Social Unrest, Stretch Marks, and Rebel Truth.[6][7][8] One of the songs is an original NOFX composition.[9]
