NOFX - Split mit FRANK TURNER

FRANK TURNER und NOFX machen gemeinsame Sache und veroeffentlichen ein Splitalbum namens "West Coast vs. Wessex", das am 31. Juli via Fat Wreck Chords erscheint. Anbei gibt es das Announcementvideo sowie eine Vorabsingle pro Kuenstler. Labelchef und NOFX-Frontmann Fat Mike kommentiert:

“I listened to all his records, and I picked the ones that I thought I could make more interesting. What I did is change a lot of chords. Frank, he beats me in the singing department. So I can't sing better than he can, but I can maybe throw in a melody here or there or chord that he hadn’t thought of.”

Turner hingegen sagt:

“I didn't want to just do straight covers of anything. I wanted to try and pick songs where I felt like me and my band could bring something different to the table. But it did strike me that it would be cool to demonstrate to the casual NOFX fan, who doesn't know who I am, that I am actually a fan. I didn't just go to Spotify and pick the five most-listened-to songs.
