Synopsis

The New York Times–bestselling memoir from “powerful influences” NOFX “is a ‘must own' for anyone who ... cherishes what is left of Punk and Rock ‘n' Roll (Joan Jett).The candid, hilarious, shocking, occasionally horrifying, and surprisingly moving tell-all autobiography of punk legends NOFX in their own words. 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. Fans and non-fans alike will be shocked by stories of murder, suicide, addiction, counterfeiting, riots, bondage, terminal illness, the Yakuza, and pee ... lots and lots of pee.Told by each of the band members (and two former members), NOFX looks back at more than thirty years of comedy, tragedy, and completely inexplicable success.“If you need a little history lesson on how all this shit started, and what the true meaning of being punk rock is, I suggest you read this book now! Insanely funny, disturbingly honest, and delivered straight from the heart.” —Fletcher, Pennywise“Punk lit's equivalent to Mötley Crüe's debauched autobiography The Dirt.” —Austin Chronicle“The biggest surprise may be how sincere the [band members] are. In the beginning, you'll be glad these people weren't your friends, but by the end you'll wish they were.” —San Diego City Beat“Fucking gnarly. And great!” —Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day

Goodreads review by Tom on May 20, 2016

NOFX: The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories. This book has the greatest opening sentence that I've ever read in my life. "The first time I drank Piss was on a fire escape overlooking downtown Los Angeles." I first started listening to NOFX when I was 12 years old and I still regard them as one of m......more

Goodreads review by Macy_Novels at Night on January 27, 2019

Five stars for the raw and real account of a huge part of my childhood! You love or hate them, or you wish you could had the guts to be them! Some may disagree, but when it comes to living life on your own terms, these guys take the cake. Otherwise, this is a hilarious account of what punk rock cult......more

Goodreads review by Danger on March 17, 2018

NOFX has been one of my favorite bands going on....20 years now. Since I was in middle school. So it’s no surprise I loved this book, which chronicles (in heartbreaking and hilarious detail) the entire history of the band. While all that is to be expected, my biggest takeaway from the book was a rea......more

Goodreads review by Allie on June 05, 2016

Amazing. What a life these guys have lived. It is so interesting to like a band for so long but not know much about them. I was surprised to hear all of the crazy stories about their lives and where they are now.......more

Goodreads review by Julia on May 02, 2016

Exceptional. Truly one of the best band autobiographies I've ever read. The book is told semi chronologically from the point of view of each band member; seamlessly interwoven into a cohesive and fascinating story. A must read for fans of the band but also highly recommended even if you've never hea......more


Quotes

I can say with certainty I've never read a rock biography with such balanced elements of sensation and sincerity. Like the few great band bios, the array of experiences described in The Hepatitis Bathtub are enough to set anyone into contemplation about strength and perseverance, love and depravity, camaraderie, and a place for misfit rock and rollers in a society that to this day clings to rigid standards. A must-read for punks new and old and an eye-opening read for all new-comers.—John Cameron Mitchell, Hedwig and the Angry Inch

NOFX and Fat Mike are amongst the most powerful influences of my genre. This book is a 'must own' for anyone who still cherishes what is left of Punk and Rock 'n' Roll—Joan Jett

Not for the faint of heart, and therefore HIGHLY recommended to EVERYBODY—Amanda Palmer

Fucking gnarly. And great!—Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day
