Nov. 9, 2015 / Comments

California punk band NOFX are getting ready to release an autobiography about their 30+ years in the industry. They announced the book, titled The Hepatits Bathtub and Other Stories, will be released March 1, 2016 and will include a foreword by Billie Joe Armstrong.

More information is available on Amazon.

Alongside hilarious anecdotes about pranks and drunkenness and teenage failures—featuring the trademark NOFX sense of humor—the book also shares the ugliness and horror the band members experienced on the road to becoming DIY millionaires.
