In a new interview, Strike Anywhere explain their surprising move from Fat Wreck Chords to Bridge Nine Records. Vocalist Thomas Barnett explained:

Fat was really generous to us from a business standpoint and from a friendship standpoint. They're nothing but amazing people. But there was a slight disconnect between the roots of East coast hardcore punk and West coast California punk. Particularly the Fat/Epitaph world is a little bloated with larger-than-life personalities, and it showcases a strange, weird part of punk. We just don't relate to it. With Bridge Nine, there's more of a sense of accessibility and celebration of extraordinary art from ordinary people.

The band is in the midst of a cross-Canada tour with Bane, Touche Amore and Lowtalker.
