NOFX Issuing “Backstage Passport” Soundtrack
Punk rock legends, NOFX, have revealed that they will release the official soundtrack to Backstage Passport, the 2008 reality 
series that documented “the band as they weaved an unsteady path through exotic locales where most sane bands fear to tread.”
Available through Fat Wreck Chords on December 9, the soundtrack will feature 15 tracks, including some that’ll be heard in the nearly completed second season of the show.
Described as “a one-stop shop for all the rare, remixed, and unreleased material that folks could only previously enjoy in snippets” on the show, the Backstage Passport soundtrack can be purchased on CD, vinyl (January 15), or nabbed digitally.
“We have a ritual,” said NOFX guitarist Aaron “El Hefe” Abeyta in an interview earlier this year with Riffyou.com. “Before we go on stage, we’ll have a big beat box playing backstage and we’ll blast the music that gets us excited and puts us into a good mood – you have to get into a good mood before you walk out onto that stage. We’ll have some drinks; warm up; have some music playing…Mike always seems to put on some really cool old school punk rock, and everybody gets into the mood. We’ll all be around each other and go ‘come on man, drink!’ or ‘oh, I love that song! Remember when that came out in the ‘80s?’ It’s important…you have to hype yourself up before you walk out.”
