Ribbed
Ribbed is the third studio album by the American punk rock band NOFX. It was released on March 26, 1991 through Epitaph Records. It was their last album to feature Steve Kidwiller on guitar, who was replaced by El Hefe. Ribbed is also the last NOFX album produced by Brett Gurewitz (the guitarist of Bad Religion and founder of Epitaph), who produced the first two albums Liberal Animation and S&M Airlines. The album sold 8,000 copies upon its release.[1] Chris Hannah of Propagandhi considers Ribbed to be the best NOFX album and a significant influence on Propagandhi's early sound.
