On Nov. 11, 1996, a college student named Gilligan released a split cassette of local punk bands in New Jersey under the name Fake Chapter Records. Fast-forward 25 years, and the label is now celebrating a milestone anniversary with a new comp set to release (when else) on Nov. 11, 2021.
Titled Fake Chapter Records: The First 25 Years, the 25 song collection covers the label's history, including punk, power-pop, indie and more sounds with songs from Dodgeball, The Bright Road, Arms and Sleepers, Dave Wanamaker, and more.
