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

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' RollJoan Jett
