About Me


good bye / thank you
fudge sickill records was started in 2000 in an effort to help bands reach a wider audience. after eight years and eleven releases we've decided to stop putting out records. we are very happy to have been able to help bands get their music heard and proud to be part of so many great records.
thank you to everyone that has helped and everyone that has listened. especially the labels and bands: the brockmeyers, offyourself, hewhocorrupts, my big beautiful, dakota/dakota, jesus and the devil, twin wrecks the memory, and monsters everywhere + the family band.
sometimes ending a label is harder then starting one. r.i.p. fudge sickill records (2000 - 2008) thanks - tyler / dan
OUT NOW:
My Big Beautiful "The Way Things Are: The Soundtrack To My Life Volume 1" CD
REVIEWS for My Big Beautiful's "The Way Things Are..."
3 1/2 STARS. Powerhouse pop-punk with mammoth vocals, heavy beats and unforgiving lyrics. The album’s a throwback to the days when being genuine was more important than jumping on any bandwagon. Keep that stuff coming! ALTERNATIVE PRESS
Top 10 (Ray Lujan) MAXIMUMROCKANDROLL
Their second full length, The Way Things Are, is exactly what I thought it would sound like when I requested the cd. It sounds like classic Chicago pop punk. It sounds like bands like the Smoking Popes, Screeching Weasel, Naked Raygun, and the Alkaline Trio all smashed together to make one delicious Big Beautiful sandwich. The Way Things Are starts off with, “The Triumphant Return Of The Kid With The Misspelled Name”, which sounds like it could’ve came out in 1997 or 1987 as much as 2007. The acoustic track “Duality” shows that veterans can do it just as well, if not better than all those kids that think they’re a gift to the world. The final track, “Last Night’s Great Idea” is just a great pop punk song, and a great finisher. The Way Things Are seriously could fit in with your 90’s collection, and as long as these veteran Chicago bands keep making music, Chicago won’t completely be considered “Fueled by Chicago”.
