As the drummer of the legendary band NOFX and a former member of Caustic Cause, he has cemented his place in the annals of punk rock history. Sandin was one of the founding members of NOFX back when the band first came together in 1983 in Hollywood, California. Let's take a closer look at the life and career of this influential musician.
