BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jun 3, 2015

In light of its 25th anniversary plans, Fat Wreck Chords has announced another punfully titled entry into its Fat Music series. The next compilation is called Fat Music Vol. 8: Going Nowhere Fat, and it will include a mix of previously released tunes and rarities from the likes of NOFX, Strung Out and Lagwagon.

The comp will arrive on CD and digitally on August 7, with a vinyl release to follow on September 18. This is the first Fat Music volume in five years, following 2010's Harder, Fatter + Louder entry.

Making up for lost time, Fat Wreck Chords has loaded the upcoming release with 25 songs, filling it with highlights from semi-recent catalogue entries from Lagwagon, Good Riddance, Strung Out, the Flatliners, CJ Ramone, toyGuitar, Swingin' Utters Darius Koski, the Real McKenzies, Snuff, Mad Caddies, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and more. Fat Mike also included a number from his Home Street Home musical.

As for the exclusive goods, NOFX contributes a demo of their "SF Clits," while other previously unreleased tunes were contributed by Swingin' Utters, Pears, Night Birds, Leftover Crack and Western Addiction.

You'll find the full tracklisting down below.
