Ribbed
Ribbed is the third studio album by the American punk rock band NOFX, released in 1991 through Epitaph Records. It was their last album to feature Steve Kidwiler on guitar; he was replaced by El Hefe. Ribbed is also the last NOFX album produced by Brett Gurewitz, who also produced their first two Epitaph albums. The album sold 8,000 copies upon its release.
In 2018, NOFX released the album Ribbed: Live in a Dive, a recording of a 2012 concert where the band played Ribbed in its entirety.
