Chicago’s most nefarious three-piece are ready to bring another baby into the world. Somehow between the black-outs and leg-breakings they managed to deliver a kick-ass demo and we sent the lads right into Atlas Studios. You can see recording updates and pics here, or you can just visit their their website like a normal person. They’re new record has already been titled Oh! Calcutta!, and we’ll release that bad boy in March of 2006. Not much else to report, the Cubs didn’t make the playoffs, Chris McCool is love-starved, and the Bears look terrible (well, they did at the time!)....
By now you all must have heard about the Band in the Bubble but we here at Fat like to push the envelope a bit and take things to the next level. That is why we put together this groundbreaking idea we like to call Band in the Clubble©. You might think we are “write on the walls with our own poop, crazy” but we just feel like this is the right thing to do. That is why No Use for a Name is about to embark on the “All the Best Shows” Tour with Whole Wheat Bread and Fat’s...
We are proud to announce the FAT WRECK CHORDS/1.2.3. Punk Tour in Canada featuring the Mad Caddies, Real McKenzies and the Sainte Catherines. 1.2.3. Punk is an awesome video show up in Canada on Musique Plus TV and they are sponsoring the entire tour along with Exclaim Magazine, Gasoline Magazine and Punkradiocast. Musique Plus will even be sending out the host of the show, Rej, to follow these bloated American (and Scottish and Canadian) rapscallions as they traipse around your country looking for adventure. If there is one thing that is at the heart and core of every Canadian’s soul...
We are extremely proud to be working with Oakland, CA’s American Steel. Carrying on the grand tradition of the early East Bay sound, American Steel were adored locally and served as a pillar of the 924 Gilman Street scene from 1995-2002. They released three proper full length records and I think it’s safe to say that you could file American Steel’s 2nd album, Rogue’s March, right next to Rancid’s Rancid, Crimpshrine’s Duct Tape Soup and Jawbreaker’s 24 Hour Revenge Therapy as quintessential Bay Area punk albums. The one aspect that sets this band apart is SOUL. Their sound owes as...
The unPresident is showing a sturdy veto boner today and there seems to be no peace in sight. You know what is peaceful though…reggae music! If we could just get him into one of these and make this guy the Secretary of Defense then I think he wouldn’t be so pinched and we could chill. Luckily we have the Mad Caddies as our international ambassadors of good will. Their new cd, Keep It Going, comes out today and we still have autographed copies left. You can only get these signed CD’s through our webstore so bup bup, hurry up! BUY...
