Melvinator, the solo Punk-meets-EDM project from Eric Melvin of NOFX, will release his debut new album, The Rise of the Melvinator on May 12th via Bottles to the Ground. You can check out his first single, a rework of the NOFX track "Regaining Unconsciousness" below:

Eric Melvin comments:

I am so thankful for the love and support for the first ever Melvinator single, 'American Errorist' from last year. This exciting journey continues with this next release, 'Regaining Unconsciousness', one of my favourite NOFX tracks. The lyrics are as relevant today as ever, and the Melvinator version was such a blast to create. I can’t wait to share it!
 
I am grateful for the space to explore my passions for Punk Rock & EDM and celebrate songs that NOFX fans know and love as much as I do.
 
Along with American Errorist, Regaining Unconsciousness will be on my debut album, 'The Rise of the Melvinator' which will be dropping soon. I’m stoked!

First Ditch Effort
Fat Wreck Chords (2016)

It’s probably been a decade (maybe two) since anyone reviewed a NOFX record without starting out by talking about “knowing what to expect.” The band has their sound down pat and I’ll spare them the skatepunk adjectives except to say that new LP First Ditch Effort doesn’t change it up. The only shift here, if it is one, is that … Read more
