A couple of days before its official release date, the newest full length album from NOFX has been unleashed for the masses. First Ditch Effort marks the band’s 13th album and is due out October 7, 2016 via Fat Wreck Chords. Launch the full stream below.
While tracks like “Dead Beat Mom” and “Ditch Effort” split the difference between punk and hardcore, “Bye Bye Biopsy Girl” has NOFX experimenting,once again, with some jazzy guitar chords and a bit of sax. / Exclaim.ca
It’s a NOFX album, so that means 13 new tracks of sugary melodies, lightspeed riffage, ahh-ahh harmonies, and dickish jokes. If, say, you were a teenager in the ’90s, all this might mean a whole lot to you. / StereoGum
NOFX’s most painful and party-ready album to date, First Ditch Effort / Punk rock’s reigning kings return with a darker blast of mischief than we’re used to / ConsequenceOfSound
You pretty much know what you’re getting from a NOFX album at this point, and if you have a place in your heart for this kind of stuff, First Ditch Effort hits all the right spots / BrooklynVegan
