Maximum Rocknroll is an album by NOFX that compiles early singles and demo songs. It was released without the band's consent.^[3] Maximum Rocknroll was originally released on cassette in 1989^[1] by Mystic Records and again three years later on LP and CD.

When the original cassette was released in 1989, it was released under a different title, E is for Everything, though the track listing was identical to the other formats. E is for Everything is currently out of print. The tape also had a different cover, similar to the band's 1985 self-titled EP which depicts a skull with a syringe. The cover of the 1992 version depicts Fat Mike playing his bass.

Fat Mike stated that "This was never supposed to be a record. NOFX got popular in the mid 90's so mystic records took both seven inchers and put them out on a cd with a bunch of demo songs. It's a totally sucky record and the artwork totally bites. We had no control over any of it. In fact we didn't know it was coming out until I saw one in a store. If you want to hear a totally crappy fucked album then this is the one for you. Don't say I didn't warn you."^[1]

Even though the band claims that Maximum Rocknroll was not released with their consent, it's listed on the discography of their website.^[4]
