S&M Airlines

S&M Airlines is the second studio album by the American punk rock band NOFX. It was released on September 5, 1989 through Epitaph Records. It was also the group's first release on Epitaph. A music video was made for the title track. The album was recorded and mixed in only six days at Westbeach Recorders. Bad Religion's Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz (who also produced the album and is the founder of Epitaph) appear on the final track, a cover of the Fleetwood Mac song "Go Your Own Way". They also did harmonies on a few other songs. Bassist/singer, Fat Mike considers it to be the first real NOFX album. It was heavily inspired by Bad Religion and Rich Kids on LSD, and showed the band moving more towards a melodic and metallic sound. The album sold 3,500 copies upon its release.[2]

Production

gollark: I've been eyeing it as a possible part for a hypothetical new osmarks.tk server, to replace my old (Nehalem or something) HP tower.
gollark: Or a 1700 for the same price, but it would be worse for gaming.
gollark: Also, they just announced that Ryzen 3000 is to be released on July 7th. Not next month. It's, what, 6 weeks?
gollark: The 1700 is only about £130 now.
gollark: The prices for 1st gen Ryzen and B450 boards are already stupidly low.
