KICKER: Pure Drivel Vinyl LP

Fat Mike's side projects have a habit of being more honest than his main gig. Kicker, the NOFX frontman's hardcore punk vehicle, is no exception, and Pure Drivel doesn't pretend to be anything other than exactly what it says on the sleeve.

Released in 2023 and fronted by Pete the Road, Pure Drivel is short, loud, and allergic to patience. It carries that classic West Coast hardcore DNA without the nostalgia trip, landing somewhere between a bar fight and a manifesto. If you've been waiting for punk that sounds pissed off for actual reasons, here it is. A worthy addition to any alternative fashion lifestyle that also includes a record player.

Format: Vinyl LP. Genre: Punk, Hardcore Punk. Country of origin: USA.

Fans of: NOFX, Dead Kennedys, Strung Out.
