Self Entitled is the twelfth studio album by the American punk rock band NOFX, due for release on September 11, 2012.[2][3][4]

Background and production

Self Entitled took more than a year to materialize. Vocalist and bassist Fat Mike revealed to The Daily Times in January 2011 that a follow-up to Coaster was in the works, explaining "There are some really good songs on Coaster, but after having written 300 songs, I feel lucky I came up with them. That's why there are songs on there about Iron Maiden and Tegan and Sara. I'm reaching, man. Sometimes I grab stuff just to grab stuff, and I'm going in a lot of different directions."[5] In December of that year, Fat Mike revealed to Phoenix New Times that he had begun work on a new NOFX album and a soundtrack to a "fetish film" called Rubber Bordello.[6]

On February 14, 2012, Fat Mike revealed to Rolling Stone that NOFX was going to begin recording their twelfth studio album in April and added, "I've got 12 songs, but I don't have a name for it and only a few of the songs are finished. We're demo-ing it right now."[7] On April 12, he posted a message on his Twitter page saying that the band was back in the studio with Bill Stevenson, who produced Coaster and their 2006 predecessor Wolves in Wolves' Clothing.[8] Recording sessions for Self Entitled were finished two-and-a-half weeks later[9] and it was eventually announced that NOFX would release the album on September 11, 2012.[10]
