"fat wreck chords signed lawrence arms and dillinger 4."
Finally, two good bands will get even bigger. I'm all for it. Click below to read Fat's "press release" about it.

Dark yet catchy, drunk yet explosive, fat yet rockin'. Their records are great and their live show is a pants-shittin' hoot of a good time. Of course we're talking about Minneapolis' Dillinger Four! These guys have two proper full lengths under their bulging belts, both of which are on Hopeless Records and you can expect their first Fat full length sometime next year…

The other group of suckers we signed are the Chicago three-piece The Lawrence Arms! Largely unknown, this trio blends an East Bay sound (Jawbreaker, Crimpshrine, Rancid) with introspective Midwest punk. What you really need to know is that they fuckin' rule! Their Fat debut should be out early 2002 and you can learn more about 'em by going to http://www.thelawrencearms.net/

You can rest assured that both these bands are made up of drunk assholes so they'll fit right in with the rest of our bands and our fanbase. We'd like to give both D4 and The Lawrence Arms a big ol' soul kiss and a warm Fat welcome! Now let's get drunk.
