Very surprising news coming from one of the larger punk labels out there. Fat Wreck have decided to lower all their prices on al CD’s to under $10.00. Not a sale, not for this week only but as a permanent change to help out the punk bands who are putting out music these days.

Say what you will about fat Wreck (as I know many people who do not like them or their bands) but this is kind of suprising and unexpected. I tip my hat to you Fat Mike.

From Fat Mike on the NOFX European tour:
“Oh, this is the important news: the NOFX record comes out today. What’s more important is that it will be priced under $10 in every store in North America. This is not a sale. This is how much this CD costs, and not only that, but EVERY CD on Fat Wreck Chords will now be under $10 and most will be under $8.

No, we are not crazy. We just think that having a very low CD price is a fair way for scene supporting music fans to support their favorite independent bands and labels. Sound crazy? I think it sounds reasonable. We make less profit, but bands hopefully will sell more CDs to more people, which is why we started doing this in the first place. ”
