Never Trust a Hippy is an EP by the American punk rock band NOFX, released March 14, 2006 through Fat Wreck Chords. Released a month in advance of the band's tenth studio album, Wolves in Wolves' Clothing, the EP includes two tracks from the album and four others recorded during the album's recording sessions. The EP was made available for streaming on March 12 via Alternative Press.
in 2003, NOFX's Regaining Unconsciousness EP had served as a pre-release teaser for their ninth studio album The War on Errorism. Never Trust a Hippy served as a similar teaser for their next studio album, Wolves in Wolves' Clothing. All of the tracks on the EP were recorded during the album sessions at Motor Studios in San Francisco with the production team of Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore from The Blasting Room, with NOFX bandleader Fat Mike also producing. Stevenson and Livermore served as recording and mixing engineers for the sessions that produced "Seeing Double at the Triple Rock", "The Marxist Brothers", "Golden Boys", and "Everything in Moderation (Especially Moderation)". Adam Krammer, who had worked with the band since 1997's So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes, served as recording engineer for the sessions that produced "You're Wrong" and "I'm Going to Hell for This One", which were then mixed by Livermore. Both the EP and the album were mastered by Livermore at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado.Comic book artist Rick Remender created the cover artwork for the EP, while Brian Archer did the design and layout.
