Punk legends NOFX have announced the first dates on their 40 Years, 40 Cities, 40 Songs farewell tour, set to take place on May 19th and 20th, 2023 in Barcelona. The two shows will see them playing So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes, White Trash, Two Heebs, and a Bean, Wolves in Wolves’ Clothing, and Punk in Drublic in their entirety. Tickets are available here.

It appears they’ll also be recording these shows and releasing them as live albums. A 3xLP of the Barcelona dates is available to pre-order right now for the low, low price of 60 Euros! For the more frugal among us, the digital download is only 15 bones.

Since this story went live, SBÄM Records has launched a pre-order for a live record of the show taking place in Linz, Austria on June 2nd, 2023. Like the Barcelona release, little details are revealed, but we do know the 3xLP will be pressed on “surprise color vinyl”. Pre-orders available here.

At least 38 more cities on this tour are TBA. We’ll keep you posted when that happens. NOFX recently released Double Album and Fat Mike says they have three more records on the way.

Sad news to kick off Christmas week. Terry Hall, the iconic vocalist of legendary, genre-defining 2-Tone ska band The Specials, has passed away after a brief illness. Hall was 63. If you’re only aware of Hall through his music, he had a pretty incredible life story, particularly his early years. Check out the bio the BBC did here.


As you might imagine, love and respects have been pouring in from all corners of the music world.






“Ghost Town” might have been The Specials’ biggest commercial hit, but “A Message To You Rudy” was the first Specials’ song I ever heard, so let’s all check it out together and reminisce.

DS News: Absolute Melt (Fraser from the Murderburgers) streaming debut EP

Fraser Murderburger has released a new four-song EP from his latest project Absolute Melt. It’s a lot less poppy than most of the former Murderburgers frontman’s previous work, but it’s a nice change of pace nonetheless. Check it out below!

Fraser Murderburger has released a new four-song EP from his latest project Absolute Melt. It’s a lot less poppy than most of the former Murderburgers frontman’s previous work, but it’s a nice change of pace nonetheless. Check it out below!

The physical release on a limited lathe cut 10″ is sold out (and raised over £600 for Scottish Women’s Aid!). You can still buy it digitally here.

Absolute Melt is one of a few projects Fraser is working on right now. His other band Wrong Life recently released an LP titled Early Workings of an Idea and I’ve heard they have another record coming soon.

DS News: British skate punks Crash-11 stream new album “I’m Sorry, I Was Wrong”

My favorite thing about writing for Dying Scene has always been discovering new bands. One of my more recent discoveries is Crash-11, an awesome skate punk band hailing from Bristol, UK. Their sound mixes the speed and melodicism of bands like No Use For A Name and Atlas Losing Grip with the hard-nosed aggression of early Sum 41.

The band just released their debut full-length album I’m Sorry, I Was Wrong and it is excellent. Give it a listen below and head over to their Bandcamp page to grab a copy of the album; they even have CDs!

Erin and Fat Mike Burkett, the dynamic duo behind the legendary Fat Wreck Chords, have announced a new label imprint. It’s called Bottles To The Ground and it’ll be curated primarily by Mike and his NOFX counterparts. Here’s what Erin and Mike had to say:

BTTG will be featuring mostly artists that are not Fat sounding bands. It will also feature bands and projects that members of NOFX are involved with such as Codefendants, Melvinator, Home Street Home and Fat Mike Gets Strung Out… There will be a 12 song comp coming out early next year featuring all the new bands.

Bottles To The Ground’s webstore is up and running here. For now, they’ve got The MeffsBroken Britain Pt. 1 and Melvinator’s American Errorist up for grabs. Stay tuned for that Codefendants record too…the singles released so far have been stellar!
