***Since exploding onto the East Anglian scene in 2019, The Meffs—aka Lily (vocals/guitar) and Lewis (drums/backing vocals)—have built up a reputation as purveyors of frantic punk bangers and an absolute must-see live sensation. After a multitude of talked-about performances, 2021 saw The Meffs destroy the Nick Alexander Memorial Trust stage at London's legendary Roundhouse for Frank Turner's four-date Lost Evenings festival. Following their 2019 demo (which they recorded in only one day!) and four singles recorded in the midst of a global pandemic, The Meffs returned to the studio with Frank Turner early 2022 to record, arguably, their best work yet on Broken Britain Pt. 1 & 2. Pulling no punches as ever, Lily calls out societal inequality at every turn over a wall of hard-hitting melodies. In the words of Frank Turner, "working on this record with The Meffs has been a privilege. It's an absolute monster".

***Nobody has ever done this: Fat Mike curated an intimate evening around a campfire with good friends sharing great songs along with their backstories. It was all recorded live in one take and is now released on Bottles to the Ground. These good friends included Ceschi and Sam King of Codefendants, Chuck of Mad Caddies, Stacey Dee of Bad Cop Bad Cop, many others who will be familiar to fans of punk rock or Fat Wreck Chords-- and of course Fat Mike.

***Fishbone formed in Los Angeles in 1979, playing a fusion of ska, punk, funk, metal, reggae, and soul. With their hyperactive, self-conscious diversity, goofy sense of humor, and sharp social commentary, the group gained a sizable cult following, even being described as "one of the most distinctive and eclectic alternative rock bands of the late 80s", even being signed to Columbia Records in 1984. Since that point Fishbone toured the world headlining shows, festivals and leaving people stunned and still one of the best shows ever seen... Fishbone and NOFX go waaaay back. Don't miss their new self-titled EP produced by Fat Mike. Get wrapped in a fully blown Fishbone party and take advantage of the gift of the ever present now.

***The Rise of the Melvinator is upon us with brand new versions of NOFX staples! Eric Melvin of NOFX recorded these over the course of two years alongside producer Baz The Frenchman (NOFX's The Decline at Red Rocks). The album credits Fat Mike as Executive Producer and features a tantalizing collaboration with Danny Lohner of Nine inch Nails.

***The debut album from Codefendants—Fat Mike’s new project with Sam King of Get Dead, Ceschi Ramos and some guest accomplices including Get Dead, Stacey Dee from Bad Cop / Bad Cop, Onry Ozzborn of Dark Time Sunshine, and the incomparable DOC. Impossible to define by traditional standards, Codefendents were forged out of a desire to make an album that sounded like nothing else—a cross between hip hop, new wave, flamenco and the Beatles. They call the sound 'Crime Wave'.
