NOFX: THE HEPATITIS BATHTUB

NOFX

And other Stories

“NOFX: The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories” is the first tell-all autobiography from one of the world’s most influential and controversial punk bands.

Alongside hilarious anecdotes about pranks and drunkenness and teenage failures—featuring the trademark NOFX sense of humor—this book also shares the ugliness and horror the band members experienced on the road to becoming D.I.Y. millionaires. Fans and non-fans alike will be shocked by stories of rape, murder, suicide, addiction, counterfeiting, riots, bondage, terminal illness, the Yakuza, and pee…lots and lots of pee.
Told directly from the perspective of all four individual band members (and two former members), “NOFX: The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories” looks back at over 30 years of comedy, tragedy, and completely inexplicable success.

NOFX has released a dozen full-length albums, sold over eight million records worldwide, toured six continents, founded one of the most successful indie labels in the world, and starred in their own hit reality TV show. They have maintained a steady fan base for over 30 years, which is consistently replenished by new generations discovering NOFX’s music and their place in punk’s history. The band has well over a million “likes” on Facebook and singer Fat Mike alone has over 100,000 Twitter followers. They have been staples on the long-running Warped Tour, they have performed on the main stage at the Reading and Leeds Festivals, and they don’t plan on stopping any time soon.

Comments

I can say with certainty I’ve never read a rock biography with such balanced elements of sensation and sincerity. Like the few great band bios, the array of experiences described in The Hepatitis Bathtub are enough to set anyone into contemplation about strength and perseverance, love and depravity, camaraderie, and a place for misfit rock and rollers in a society that to this day clings to rigid standards. A must-read for punks new and old, and an eye-opening read for all new-comers.

NOFX and Fat Mike are amongst the most powerful influences of my genre. This book is a ‘must own’ for anyone who still cherishes what is left of Punk and Rock and Roll.

What can I say? There are not enough real punk bands left in this world we live in, if you need a little history lesson on how all this shit started, and what the true meaning of being punk rock is? I suggest you read this book now! Insanely funny, disturbingly honest, and delivered straight from the heart, this book just makes me like NOFX even more than I ready do!! Read it now fuckers!!

Fucking gnarly. And great!

“Compiled in the style of Motley Crue’s The Dirt, this readable and engaging account of a band who live life almost as fast as the music they play is predictably rip-roaring…For being a book that spares nothing, this one is hard to beat.

[A] raw, tell-all autobiography.

Aside from being very entertaining, it is also a very informative book about a band who, for the vast majority of their career, refused to do interviews and refused to sign to a major label, even when bands like Green Day and Blink-182 were cashing in.

Fat Mike is a rarity in music, an unadulterated authentic. In a profession filled with phonies and withholders, Mike shines as someone who always lets his freak flag fly. I like that a lot.
