NOFX To Release EP Recorded In 1984

In a new interview, Fat Mike mentioned that NOFX will soon be releasing an unearthed seven-inch recorded back in 1984. Mike charitably describes the recording as "f--king terrible". He goes on to explain:

"You know what's coming out later this year, which should be interesting, is we're going to release our first EP that was never released. [It's] an eight-song seven-inch that was so bad we decided not to release it. It's called the 'Thalidomide Child' EP. I'm not sure when it will be out but it will be out. I think it's going to come in a seven-inch box set but we'll see."

"I found it at Fat Wreck Chords. I found the original quarter inch tape. We transferred it to DAT and they were like 'holy sh-t, this is terrible'. I go "I know, that's why we never released it because it's terrible." And everyone at Fat Wreck Chords goes 'Come on, we've gotta release it'".

"So it's going to be an eight-song seven-inch and only one of the songs has ever been heard before."

The band is also releasing a seven-inch full of covers of 80s hardcore bands later this year.

This demo tape has been floating around for quite some time on the interwebs, but it's cool that they are going to release it.

And the 80's hardcore cover album is such a cool idea.

I agree. I hope they do a descendents cover.

That would be great, especially if they done something from Milo Goes To College.

But I think Fat Mike said they were doing more unknown artists from the 80's so a Descendents cover seems unlikely.
