[TJ Wells]

[robdobi]

no surprise, awesome band.

[Trainsaw]

awesome

[philadelphiakid]

Talk about an underrated band...

[The Silencer]

no surprise, awesome band.
yeah, it's about damn time, they've belonged there for quite some time now...

[HoboAdam]

finally they need a band to replace rise against

[ummmmmmmmm182]

Oh Fat Wreck Chords...How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

[Punxatheart]

Lets HOPE THEY DON'T END UP SOUNDING LIKE EVERY OTHER FAT BAND

[aminorthreat55]

Awesome.

[sundaysetsashes]

i may be lost. who had them first?

[mondeoman]

This is good for them I suppose because I've heard that Jade Tree sucks to record for. But I still don't really like this band.

[Cottage Cheese]

Good for them, but let's hope the lead singer can improve his raspy voice. I bought Exit English but got kind of annoyed with his voice, but as a band they sound great.

[robdobi]

Good for them, but let's hope the lead singer can improve his raspy voice. I bought Exit English but got kind of annoyed with his voice, but as a band they sound great.

god forbid a punk band have a raspy voice.

Jade Tree Records

[XpunkXroutineX]

Cool. Now get started on that new album!!!

[AlkTrio205]

Lets HOPE THEY DON'T END UP SOUNDING LIKE EVERY OTHER FAT BAND

Yeah, Against Me! and The Descendents are pretty much the same band.

[riotmute]

this band is amazing live

[PuNkJaSo]

Yeah, Against Me! and The Descendents are pretty much the same band.

unless your being sarcastic, i disagree with that statement tremendously

[Cottage Cheese]

god forbid a punk band have a raspy voice.

sorry but I like bands with a good voice.

[ishotthepilot]

no surprise here

[finchfan313]

Yeah, Against Me! and The Descendents are pretty much the same band.
for shame :headshake

anyway this is awesome. good for them. I listened to Exit English for the first time in months today and it was incredible. I love these guys.

[BrandNew20]

Talk about a signing that makes perfect sense.

I really liked Exit English, good stuff.

[DissentRec]

Now, if Fat Mike can sign Ann Beretta, he'd have the greatest bands Richmond has to offer.

[djUbilla]

Yeah, Against Me! and The Descendents are pretty much the same band.
haha

This is great. I'm excited for them, big time.

HAHA!!!! Who the fuck are you?? I'm not one to bash on the ignorant but man this comment is absolutely ridiculous. I don't know about your hearing but to me bands like No Use for a Name, Anti Flag, descendents, NOFX and Mad Caddies don't quite sound the same to me. But hey maybe my hearing is off a notch or two.

[OnLegendary21]

Good for them, I always thought they were out of place on Jade Tree. Poor Jade Tree, they don't have anything now.

[CT-Tim]

no surprise, awesome band.

It makes me extremely happy when people spell surprise properly.

Sorry for being random.

[skaught]

against me! = still the best band on fat.

[jetpackbologna]

Kick ass. Awesome band, awesome label. They fit well with Fat Wreck.

Yeah, Against Me! and The Descendents are pretty much the same band.
That's a prett stupid comment, have you even listened to more than 3 songs by each of those bands? Judging from that quote probably not.

[aminorthreat55]

It's called sarcasm you toolbox.

[Kiss Of Octopus]

Kiss Of Octopus approves this announcement.



Oh, and by the way, all of you are tools..

Except for Dobi and the kid who said Against Me! and Descendents sound the same.

[Ryan Mills]

Kick ass. Awesome band, awesome label. They fit well with Fat Wreck.

Wow people...get sarcasm much?

[Sons_Of_Saturn]

This is a band that I seriously think will win over a lot of people with their next release.

[chokeychicken]

This is good for them I suppose because I've heard that Jade Tree sucks to record for. But I still don't really like this band.

if you don't like this band, obviously you haven't heard their older material. their first full length album is one of the best records of the past few years.

just another reason why richmond is fucking awesome.

rva represent.

[littlejohn]

i may be lost. who had them first?
my thoughts exactly, i thought that they were with FAT already

[Jacktheskipper]

my thoughts exactly, i thought that they were with FAT already
First one on No Idea ... then Jade Tree ... and I really think they fit well on Fat ... in Europe Strike Anywhere are pretty big already ... don`t know about the states ... and to the person saying every Fat band sound s the same: This would have made sense in the late 90s, but nowadays?!? And to the person that stated Jade Tree has no more good Bands: What about Paint It Black, The Loved Ones or From Ashes Rise (just to name 3 great Bands!) ?!?! I have a feeling that the Loved Ones are going places ...

[bossman calling]

Good for them, now may they continue their path of dominance. They are already better than most punk bands out there right now, now they can get a little more exposure.

How about a roatating headline Against Me!/Strike Anywhere/Avail Fat Wreck Tour this Fall?

[Shane Carey]

i think this was a good move for them. This band is amazing and will always put out good shit no matter what label they're on, though. They've had three different releases on three different labels, and they all make me want to kiss your mother.

[AlkTrio205]

It's called sarcasm you toolbox.

(thumbs up)

[Nightingale00]

I cant wait to see them at Warped Tour. the anticipation is killing me.

[burnpianoisland]

against me! = still the best band on fat.

against me! = still the best band anywhere.

[InaGreendase]

Good for them, I always thought they were out of place on Jade Tree. Poor Jade Tree, they don't have anything now.

Are you kidding? Jade Tree is 50% a melodic hardcore powerhouse (past and present: Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, Trial By Fire, the Loved Ones (influenced by, anyway), Paint It Black, etc. etc.)

Plus, how can you not like that new Paint It Black record if you claim to be a fan of SA? I know they have their differences but sound-wise they're still very closely related.

They've had three different releases on three different labels

Actually, not counting their demo, they've had four different releases on two different labels;

Chorus Of One EP - 1999(?) - No Idea
Change Is A Sound - 2001 - Jade Tree
Exit English - 2003 - Jade Tree
To Live In Discontent - 2005 - Jade Tree

[Rufio21]

Strike Anywhere (http://www.exitenglish.com/) have signed with Fat Wreck Chords (http://www.fatwreck.com).


Fat is definetly taking all the good bands right now in the punk scene. AM!, Strike Anywhere, Smoke or Fire... Nice job fat.. next its going to be the loved ones... oh man I love them

[jetpackbologna]

It's called sarcasm you toolbox.

To be honest, many people on this board are so stupid and musically ignorant that I don't even know what's sarcastic anymore.

[SuperJoe]

Yeah, Against Me! and The Descendents are pretty much the same band.

i read the previous posts and knew what you were talking about. gave me quite a little chuckle, i might add.

Now, if Fat Mike can sign Ann Beretta, he'd have the greatest bands Richmond has to offer.

the fact that somebody on this site knows of ann beretta brings warm feelings to my heart.

[bossman calling]

Ann Beretta haven't done much in a while.

[Rufio21]

Ann Beretta haven't done much in a while.


true., theyve been slacking...

ALL or Decendents.... my picks for Decendents

[Fatwreck]
