Melvin (NOFX): No Quitting in Punk Rock!
09/16/24 • 41 min
NOFX is saying goodbye?! WTF? NO! F**K THAT!
Melvin AKA Eric Melvin is co-founder and guitarist for the SoCal punk legends NOFX. It's hard to imagine a punk rock existence without a new NOFX album and tour in the queue, but he we are... NOFX is saying 'Adios' with a string of final shows in Chicago for Riot Fest, and a trio of FINAL-FINAL shows taking place on Oct. 4,5,6 in San Pedro, CA. Melvin takes a stroll back to his youth discovering punk rock, forming NOFX with bassist Fat Mike AKA Mike Burkett, helping to define the sound of SoCal skate punk culture and I even get to reminisce about "Rock Against Bush" 2004 in Bakersfield, CA. But wait, there's more...We also dive into the band's politics, band family dynamics, saying goodbye, preserving a legacy, and what's next (?) Episode includes the NOFX songs: "Bob," "Linoleum".
