From Single Album (2021). Single Album is the fourteenth studio album by the American punk rock band NOFX, released on February 26, 2021. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for NOFX's other songs from Single Album, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
