Listen "Fat Mike's no rules"
Episode Synopsis
Fat Mike from NOFX is a bit of a legend. As frontman for the band for almost four decades, he’s been the soundtrack to countless generations of punk fans. He set up Fat Wreck Chords, championing other bands for the past 30 years. And when he’s not doing that, he’s getting around with supergroup Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.If you know anything about Fat Mike, you know he doesn’t play by the rules, so that’s where his theme led us. From formative songs by Meatloaf, to re-energising moments from Propoghandi, this is a rare peek into the music that fuels one of music’s risk takers.The Dickies - 'Paranoid'Meat Loaf - 'Hot Patootie - Bless My Soul'Operation Ivy - 'Yellin' In My Ear'Propagandhi - 'Anti-Manifesto'The Spits - 'Tired & Lonely'
