They may no longer be together, but there’s still more music coming from Cali punk legends NOFX.
Ahead of the release of their upcoming documentary 40 Years Of Fuckin’ Up (check out the trailer here), which hits Australian cinemas this July and August, the band have announced the release of an official soundtrack and original score to complement the film.
Packaged as a deluxe double LP, 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up: Soundtrack + Score comprises an 11-song original score and a 15-song soundtrack. The score is composed by Fat Mike with collaborator Matt Nasir and performed alongside a full orchestra, while the soundtrack 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 collection also includes six rare and unreleased recordings, including ‘Secret Society (demo)’, ‘On The Road (demo)’ and a cover of ‘La Bamba’, live versions of fan favourites ‘Linoleum’ and ‘NOFX’, and 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.
Exploring NOFX’s groundbreaking career, 40 Years Of Fuckin’ Up premiered at the 2026 SXSW Festival to critical acclaim and has since been officially accepted into the San Francisco International Film Festival and is screening at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival marketplace.
The documentary hits Hoyts cinemas in Australia this July and August. Tickets are on sale now via hoyts.com.au.

“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,” says director James Buddy Day.
NOFX’s Fat Mike shares, “The best times of my life have been shared with other people. Seeing the Dickies play at the Whiskey when I was 14, going to the Rock Against Reagan protest at the federal building when I was 17, cheering when the Death Star exploded at the very first showing of Star Wars at the Avco Cinema in Westwood when I was 10. Humans are supposed to be together. We need to celebrate together, and mourn together and laugh together!
“When NOFX started to put together this documentary, we decided to release it to the world in the same way we’ve done everything in our career. Our way. We want our fans to congregate in cool movie theatres that have bars and not a lot of rules. We want showings of this film to be a celebration. We want it to feel like you’re going to a NOFX show. We want our fans to have a really good time together, like they did when they would see us play live!”
NOFX’s El Hefe adds, “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.”
40 Years of Fuckin’ Up: Soundtrack + Score by NOFX is out Friday 28 August. Pre-order here. The documentary hits Hoyts cinemas in Australia this July and August. Tickets are on sale now via hoyts.com.au.
