Hey guys, guess what? Fat Mike’s record label is totally awesome! They’ve got some seriously rad bands on there like Strung Out, Lagwagon, Swingin’ Utters, Face to Face, and Good Riddance, just to name a few.
But here’s the really exciting part: when Bad Religion’s contract with Atlantic was up, Jay had this brilliant idea to sign with Fat Wreck Chords. He was like, “Let’s call up Fat Mike, he knows us better than any other label except Epitaph!” How cool is that?
And you know what? Fat Mike himself even said in the documentary “A Fat Wreck” that he and Brett totally nailed it. Fat Wreck and Epitaph became two of the most successful punk rock record labels ever. They totally got it right!

I’ve been lurking on that site for over 20 years and if you’re into Bad Religion as much as I am, I’m sure you’re familiar. If you are not, go there right now and never come back to this site again. You should, and I totally understand.
