I remember the times he signed a bunch of different bands to his record label to help them have careers making music, and NOFX records. Good stuff happens too. Yeah, Mike can personally be messed up, but he’s always been open that it exists in his life, and at this point I don’t think anyone is surprised. I mean, listen to Punk Rock Saved My Life.
I hope he got all the sad and depressed Fat Mike stuff out with this and First Ditch Effort. I'm ready for angry Fat Mike/NOFX to come back. Still can't wait to hear this though.
That whole pee drinking thing turned out to be bogus, yet it’s always brought up when his name is mentioned.
I hope this record acts as an outlet or therapy for him, and I hope he gets whatever help he needs. Mike is really creative and a great story teller. There were two moments in that video that were definitely hard to watch.
I was thinking the same thing after listening to this song. His childhood has always been a topic of his, but you can see how much of a negative impact that had on him, and how punk rock really did save his life (and hopefully continues to stay that way, because he appears to be a mess quite often from a distance.)
That song where his friends parents show up...yikes. Gotta love the story telling, even when it’s a hard story to listen to.
Pretty stoked to hear Travis on the rest of this, I imagine this collab doesn't happen if Matt isn't in blink?
I don’t what kind of replay value this record will have, but I enjoyed it on first listen. A lot of these lyrics hit hard.
