In this Throwback Thursday episode, Fat Mike returns for Part 2 of the deep dive into NOFX’s 18-minute punk rock epic, The Decline. Continuing where Part 1 left off, Mike shares more about the song’s intricate composition, its politically charged message, and the intense recording process that pushed the boundaries of punk music. Originally airing in June 2023, this episode offers unmatched insight into how one of punk’s most ambitious tracks came to life.
