RBF Release Date

Contributed by shindo. Posted by Adam on Thursday, September 27, 2001 at 9:45 AM (EDT)

Reel Big Fish are reporting that Zomba has acquired Mojo "as part of a push to diversify its artist roster and beef up its catalog offerings." They posted a statement by Jive Records president Barry Weiss saying, "Mojo has developed an array of credible, commercially successful artists who have succeeded by building fans through the traditional, painstaking, foolproof method of relentless touring... This has led to very strong career foundations that we hope to build upon.''

Whatever the details of the deal were, Mojo is back up and running. Expect the long delayed, yet to be titled, Reel Big Fish release to be released in Feb. / March 2002.

My favorite band are finally gonna release some new material! Woohoo! Some of the tracks already exist as live bootlegs, but i cant wait to hear what almost 4 years of studio time has produced. BRING ON THE FISH!

Save your money kids, the new Bad Religion comes out in February too don't forget...

Someone (September 27, 2001)

i don't mean to be a prick, but the first sentance is not a sentance, it has no predicate, only an expanded subject. What is it supposed to mean?

goldfinger (September 27, 2001)

I think "required" is supposed to be "acquired." Does that make more sense?

adam (September 27, 2001)

Yes it was supposed to be "acquired." Sometimes my mind thinks one thing and my hands type another.GrammarCore forever!

Someone (September 27, 2001)

Yeah well im the spelling police and you spelled sentence wrong.

Someone (September 27, 2001)

Someone (September 28, 2001)

Someone (September 28, 2001)

Yah trying to be funny and being funny are two seperate things

Someone (September 29, 2001)

hehe..... it's separate man. good one.

Someone (September 27, 2001)

Why is there so much news about this crap. Every day its something new about mojo or reel big fish - just out of interest, how many people give a shit anyway? jono.

Mdogg (September 27, 2001)

i do...

Wyld_Stallyns_Rule (September 27, 2001)

I care to much to kare about anytheng alse.

Someone (September 28, 2001)

I stand by original statement that they are a boyband who ought not be covered on a punk news website. Although I will buy the new album, and most likely, download the two or so good songs on my computer and use the actual cd as a weapon to ward off 8th graders who think ska is the new thing.

Wyld_Stallyns_Rule (September 28, 2001)

I'm...not 100% sure, but I thiiink I detected a hint of sarcasm there. I'm not the greatest at decoding crap, though.

Someone (September 29, 2001)

no sarcasm, i just like smoking the funk.- fathead

Someone (September 29, 2001)

Right on. It sucks now, though, because I just started school at the U of MN, so I've had to cut down on that, but I made up for it with liquor. Woo-hoo! Plea for peace tour stops here tonite, too. I'll have to get funkified for that. by the way, I was just yankin' yer crank before. I like starting shit. take it easy

Someone (September 28, 2001)

they should call the album "If you thought we sucked back then..." HAHA! Reel Big Fish is the equivilant to finding roaches in your chinese food.- fathead

Wyld_Stallyns_Rule (September 28, 2001)

What the fuck, fathead. Every comment I've ever heard from you has been about how much all these groups suck. Why do you even go to these sites if you don't like a single band? Maybe I've just been reading all the wrong comments by you, and I haven't read the articles on rick astley and Ratt, where you say how kick ass they are. whatever.

Someone (September 28, 2001)

it might be because you're only reading comments for bands like the Get Up Kids, Goldfiner, Sum 41 and REEL SHITTY BAND as I like to call them. I have recently made positive comments on a Rise Against article, a mike Park article, and a few others.why do you give a shit?- fathead

Wyld_Stallyns_Rule (September 28, 2001)

Going on the defense like that so quickly is the first sign of retardation.

Someone (September 28, 2001)

tokeallnight! that's great!! I gots the funk down in Kentucky. I hate reel big fish.they suck.88 fingers louie and skankin pickle are good bands.not to mention the Lillingtons, whom i am listening now.- fathead

Someone (September 29, 2001)

....its "whom i am listening TO now." ....The grammar police strike again.

Someone (September 29, 2001)

Skankin' pickle rule. There's a lot of good groups that I'm listening to now, but I'm too lazy to write 'em down.

Ironska5 (October 2, 2001)

Hey now, RBF is the greatest band in the world, but what's with the dogging on RATT? 80s rock is awsome. Back off of 80s rock before i go white wedding day all over your ass
