Fat Wreck Chords Celebrates 25 Years with Compilation
Fat Wreck Chords will be embarking on a tour this summer to celebrate the label’s 25th 
anniversary, but before those dates get rolling, fans will get Fat Music Vol. 8: Going Nowhere Fat.
The album will feature tracks from NOFX, Lagwagon, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Masked Intruder, Swingin’ Utters, CJ Ramone, Strung Outf, plus a ton more. It’ll be released digitally and on CD August 7, with a vinyl edition emerging September 18.
“2015 marks Fat Wreck Chords’ 25th anniversary as a label and nothing seemed more appropriate than bringing back the Fat Music series,” reads a statement issued by the label. “With classic comps like Survival of the Fattest, Physical Fatness and Live Fat, Die Young, this is a series that’s less about acting as a label sampler as it is about compiling great, listenable punk albums, loaded with gems from front to back. It’s been five years since we added a volume to the series and with a grip of new bands and new groundbreaking records from classic Fat bands, our 25th anniversary year was the obvious choice for Volume 8. Packed with an appropriate 25 songs, selected and sequenced by Fat Mike, Fat Music Vol. 8: Going Nowhere Fat is the next essential Fat comp.”
