Erik Sandin

Erik Sandin (born July 29, 1966), is an American musician and the drummer of the popular California punk band NOFX. He was a founding member of the band when they formed in Hollywood, California, in 1983, but moved to Santa Barbara two years later, leaving the band.

In just one year without Sandin, the band had already gone through two drummers (Scott Sellers and Scott Aldahl) and in 1986 the band talked Sandin into rejoining NOFX. He has been NOFX's permanent drummer since his return in 1986, and played drums on every NOFX full-length album and EP released, including the 2007 live album They've Actually Gotten Worse Live!. The band Dogpiss featured a song about him called "Erik Sandin's Stand In" on the Fat Wreck Chords compilation album Short Music for Short People.

Before the recording of "White Trash, Two heebs and a bean", he went on rehab for heroin addiction, realizing that Nofx were more important than heroin. The rehab went so well that Eric cleaned himself fully and never made use of any drug anymore. As it can be seen on Backstage Passport, he conducts a more sober and "clean" life than his bandmates, often going back to the hotel after a show instead of hanging out with the rest of the band.
