In just one year without Sandin, the band had already gone through two drummers (Scott Sellers and Scott Aldahl) and in 1986 the band talked Sandin into rejoining NOFX. He was addicted to heroin and LSD since his departure from NOFX, but in 1992 before the White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean recordings he checked into a rehabilitation facility and cleaned himself up. According to the NOFX Official Website: "He won't even eat chicken if it has wine sauce on it. He made it clear that NOFX was more important to him than drugs." He has been NOFX's permanent drummer since his return in '86, and played drums on every NOFX full-length album and EP released. He has played under a variety of comedy pseudonyms, including "Erik Ghint" and "Erik Shun" (try to read them aloud).
