NOFX - I'm a Rat (Official Video)
BUY THE ALBUM HERE: fatwreck.com/p...
Hold on to your vintage Mickey Mouse ears, because NOFX is gearing up to make 2024 one for the books! Today, we're thrilled to toss a bit of new NOFX music your way, including a video for their lead single, "I'm A Rat." The track is lifted from their upcoming release, Half Album, which drops on April 19th. Next, check out what Fat Mike had to share about their latest release below.
"Was it worth it? Was it worth spending five years finishing the five songs on my double album project that I thought were the worst of the bunch? Was it a good idea to spend so much time raising the runts of the litter? Was it an error in judgement when I wrote a song about the magnitude of my arrogance? I think the answers to all these rhetorical questions might be found by listening to this half-sided album..... but I seriously doubt it."
I am a rat in a trap
And I'm happy about that
Because everyone believes that I was caught
Now they feel so good about themselves
Cause they like to watch me suffer
Until they found it in their hearts to help me out
So I thanked them and apologized for all my bad behavior
I blamed it on my addiction to cheese
Now everybody likes me and thinks I'm rehabilitated
And I finally get to do what the fuck I please
I am a rat and
I don't wanna hear your sermon
I am a vermin
And I'm always gonna gnaw on things
I know will aggravate you
I am a rat acting like a good do'er till I go back to my sewer
And ingest my chosen poisons
I am a rat
I am a rat
I am a rat
I am a rat

I love his drumming so much. So fast, so precise, so fun, so original, it's an absolute pleasure to listen to. I can listen to Hi-Standard songs again and again and still discover new notes on the drums here and there (and I've been listening to them since the 90s), understanding some fillings better that are hard to catch at the speed he used to play. Definitely a drummer that left his mark on me, and he's a drummer I'll never forget, playing in a band I'll probably be listening to till the end of my life. RIP Akira Tsuneoka and all my best sincere feelings from France to his family and friends.

I love both NOFX and Hi-standard deeply and deeply. Thank you NOFX from the bottom of my heart. I'll go see you when I come to Japan. Of course Tsune is with me too!!
Trip on this… I grew up in the Bay Area and saw NOFX in 1985 because they played at a pizza joint in Redwood City called Pony Express Pizza that I happened to hang out at in high school. I bought an Ep. One of the first 500 ever, from Fat Mike. I saw them a few years later in a club in SF and they didn’t suck as much. Then I saw them in 89 and they were better. Then a chick turned me on to Ribbed. I was like, hey, I remember them! Holy shit balls! Well, nearly 40 years later, I’ve seen them on 3 continents in 4 countries about 20x and they are by far, the greatest band ever. I don’t think there’s a question. I almost played support for you guys in 1994 in San Jose (just in case anyone in Fat reads this). But my singer had a problem with some other band that couldn’t draw flies but wanted the support slot, so he said no. I went to the Cow Palace show. I’m live now in Phx. I’m going to be in Denver with a bro pass and I’m going to bring the Ep. Maybe it’ll get signed? And I have the 3 day pass in San Pedro. There isn’t a chance in the world that I would miss the last shows. Especially the last one. I cried when Fatty cried in SF. I also got teary during The Decline. Montana, Germany, Perth, and all over California. Check out my thumbnail. 😊

I hope they do that. I've been listening to NOFX for a bit over half my life, it's weird to think of them not being around anymore. But I watched an interview the other day that was from sometime last year and he said they were breaking up. Fat Mike has another band, so maybe that's what he meant by still releasing music. Or he could've just been talking about this album.

Déjà en 98 il disait que ça allait être leur dernier album et que c'était dommage pour nous. Les connaissant déjà il disait qu'ils allaient terminer en 2023 et là il continue à produire des sons et tournait encore faire des concerts. Ils blaguent... C'est pour qu'on s'accroche plus à eux c'est comme un mec avec une meuf ou le contraire😊 plus on montre du détachement et plus l'autre va te suivre

Hopefully that's just the last show. Melvin said there's a possibility that the band will continue to put out new recorded music, saying, "[Mike] still wants to record and release records as NOFX. So we'll see how that works..." So, fingers crossed!
I've had this song stuck in my head since hearing it. As much as I LOVE Hi-Standard, this sounds like my fav cuts from So Long...and I'm obsessed.
Absolutely gorgeous song and video!
2001 год, мне 18. Я еду с батей в нашей 99-ой модели от Автоваза в соседний город. В магнитоле играет альбом Punk in drublic. И батя внезапно: «Они че, евреи?». Я удивленно: «Ну частично. А как ты догадался?». Батя: «Да напевы какие-то похожие…» Сейчас мне 40, а отцу 65 и этот трек прям флешбэк в детство. So long and thanks for all the punk, дядя Миша!
日本に来るタイミングでこの曲は最高過ぎるぜ😂
the FX on this recording sound awesome! This song makes me think of our old band "Lab Rats" - we love this!
30 years after I got my first NoFx cd Punk in Drublic I still get to see a brand new NoFx song!!
LOVE these guys and adore everything within Mikes never ending deep, complex, and amazing lyrics.
my mom always played NOFX in the car (shes over 40 and has been listening to NOFX for around 30 years) no wonder why i turned out like this, one of the literally almost nonexistent younger part of the NOFX fans XD

Can't wait to see NOFX on July 21st in Denver for their last tour! They have been one of my favorite bands since high school and I'm 37 now and I've never gotten to see them live before so I had to make sure I caught them on this tour!!
This sounds like some other songs blended into one. But another gem. This is Fatty. At least in his own mind 😂. He has lived an amazing life and his songs are eternal. In my humble opinion, Mike Burkett is the greatest composer and songwriter of the last 41.36 years. He started out learning, but he came out strong about 32 years ago and has been EPIC ever since. The work ethic, the company, the confidence, the braggadocio… The honesty, humility and dedication and passion have made this the most important band in the last 30 years. Long live NOFX. THANK YOU.
Hell yes! Sounds like good ol' reliable and consistent NOFX! Way to keep the spirit alive and true!
素敵すぎていろんな感情が渋滞する😢😊
My brother, RIP, would have loved this one.
I've been waiting for this ever since it featured on Fat Mike gets strung out.
you guys are truly in the prime of your music making. you can’t just stop lol
I started listening to NOFX in 1998, i was 8 years old. By 2001, i was wearing nofx shirts to 6th grade. I know this because i was taken out of school on 911 with a NOFX shirt on after the attacks. Im turning 34 this year and i have tickets to one of there last concerts ever. See you in the Boston area this summer.

what a cool way to honour the late Tsune of Hi-Standard.
Great song and great video, nothing to envy of the great nofx classics
Good song! The bass part right before the vocals start is really nice!
omg nothing has spoken more to me than this song, with NOFX on final tours.. this shit I do dig.
This is so fucking good!!!
This may be a song that wasnt good enough for Double or Single album, but I LOVE this. The video and song are great! Really catchy too and the ending is quite sad for some reaoson!
Fat Mike knows how to use a public domain properly! It's impossible not to get a smile upon your face while you're watching this!
That bass intro never gets old! So rad! Beyond sick! Mike is the greatest bass player that ever lived! I don’t care what anyone says!
still NOFX'ing after 30 years. great stuff as always.
Remember that time l yelled Jerry Garcia on the live album and you told me that was like saying Adolf Hitler to you! That was great and will always be on l heard they still suck live, thank you Mike for the 10 seconds of fame!
