Fat Music
Fat Music was the title given to a series of six compilation albums published by Fat Wreck Chords between 1994 and 2002. The albums included artists from the label's roster, focusing on then-current and upcoming releases and often including previously unreleased material. In total the series included 105 songs contributed by 35 different artists, focusing stylistically on punk rock and various subgenres such as hardcore punk, pop punk, ska punk, skate punk, and street punk. The Fat Music series was discontinued after its sixth installment as the label moved from compact discs toward digital downloads for its samplers instead. Subsequent physical compilation albums released by Fat Wreck Chords were themed around social and political causes, including the benefit albums Liberation (2003) and Protect (2005), and the two volumes of Rock Against Bush released preceding the 2004 United States presidential election.
