Punk in Drublic by NOFX

Punk in Drublic, the fifth NOFX album, came out on Epitaph on July 19, 1994, its title a drunken spoonerism of "drunk in public", and it turned out to be the biggest record the band would ever make. Ryan Greene produced, and the lineup was the classic one: Fat Mike on bass and lead vocals, Eric Melvin on rhythm guitar, Erik Sandin on drums and El Hefe on lead guitar and trumpet.

It's fast, bratty, melodic skate punk played at a sprint, snotty wisecracks riding on razor-sharp harmonies and El Hefe's horn popping up where you'd least expect it. "Leave It Alone" is the one the countdowns hung onto. Unlike plenty of their peers, NOFX never signed to a major, and they sold anyway: six years on, it went gold in the US, the only NOFX record to do so, and it has sold over a million copies worldwide.
