    Pour Habit got left out...at the time they were signed, they were (in my opinion) the best thing Fat had put out in a long time. Their singer Chuck was the real deal, he had the right package. His entertainment and charisma on stage was original. He seriously lit up the room on any stage he was performing on and the band all shredded. When they played, everyone watched, smiled and made positive comments. Not too many opening acts can garner that sort of attention. They had somthing unique...Chuck! Im happy to now be playing with Eric Walsh from Pour Habit. We've been jamming and have put together 22 songs to date. Looking to hit the studio at the end of February ...Cheers JB (formerly of Strung Out)

    Fat Wreck Chords was the soundtrack of my youth. Hell, majority of my record and CD collection comes from Fat. And I still have dreams of having my band release something on Fat Wreck. It's a label that cares about its artists, and in the cut throat world of the music industry you don't see it often. You don't expect record labels like that to survive in a dog-eat-dog environment. Yet they have, and not just surviving, but evolving with the changing industry too whilst still being a straight up punk rock label.

    Great video my guy, awesome to see a dedicated video to the label that makes up a huge chunk of my music library lol. I have a very similar experience as you, I discovered NOFX when I was 14, changes my life, and used Fat Wreck to discover other fantastic bands (like my favourite, No Use). It's really commendable that Mike has made the decision to stick with punk rock, even as music trends elsewhere, and they still release all their albums on vinyl with colour variants, instead of just submitting to the digital age.
    If you haven't already, I highly recommend the latest releases from Useless ID and Get Dead (State is Burning and Dancing With the Curse), they're some of my favourite newer Fat Wreck bands, and those albums are absolutely killer! Look forward to the next video!

  • @JaymeSplendid
    @JaymeSplendid Год назад +1

    If you do ANY video on the importance of punk labels, you NEED to do one on Profane Existence out of MN. They had a distro where they made shirts, patches, had a newspaper like magazine and of course music they put out themselves. They where very important in putting out the 1st wave of US Crust Punk in the late 80's, early 90's along with bands from all over the world. They barely made money as they sold their records as cheap as possible. Another thing that was cool was that they would print on the albums "Pay no more than.." and you will never find ONE copyright symbol or warning on any of their music. They put out some of the most influential records of all time. Nausea, Doom, Aus Rotten, Destory! just to name a few.

Saw them and NOFX together for the first time in 98 or 99, whenever they did that dope tour (lost a TON of brain cells as a kid 😂…. And at 35, still losing them LOL) Wild enough a childhood homie of mine, Cecshi Ramos, is in a band with Mike and is signed to Fatty now!!! Fucking proud of my dude, shit still blows my mind… REALLY Gonna miss NOFX, long live Fatty Wreck!

    Jack! Great video once again. I'm always amazed at how much footage and data you're able to pull on these videos especially with the early 90's content.The fact the most of these records only list the first name of band members on records must make things difficult at times 😆 I'd say the smartest thing Fat ever did in the beginning was put out the $3 sampler CD's. In an age way before social media and streaming services these releases did wonders to promote the Fat family better than any other label. Keep up the solid work dude! 🍻

Just pointed it out for anyone who might have gotten confused since Fat later re-released the Utters, NUFAN, and Face To Face debut releases which kinda messes up the timeline for fans that didn’t know about New Red Archives and Dr Strange in regards to those releases. With that said, as someone who got big into punk in the early 90’s and has played shows with a lot of the bands you cover since 1995 to this day, you are doing a damn good job!
