Pump Up The Valuum
NOFX
- LP
- Label
- Epitaph
This album took fuckin’ forever, even longer than Decline. we started in
December of ‘99 and finished in February ‘00. Of course we took the holidays
off and we went on a three week tour in Jan. We recorded like 22 songs, but we
scrapped 8 of them. We’ll finish them some other time. The title track “Pump
Up The Valuum” got cut from the album. That’s wierd. we gave it to Epitaph for
Punk O Rama 5. There’s another song called “San Francisco Fat” that is gonna
go on the next fat comp. I guess a lot of the songs on this record are about
drugs. I guess that’s because we like drugs and like singin’ about them even
more. well our drummer doesn’t like them so much. He did so much of em he had
to quit seven years ago. But he’s not writing the lyrics. Am I rambling, I
feel like I’m rambling, any way, I like this album. there’s no ska, no reggae,
no jazz, just punk and punk and a little polka. I don’t feel the need to ever
play a ska song again, but ya never know. Yes, I definitely think I am
rambling. -NOFX
