Fake Chapter Records is a US independent record label based in Maywood, New Jersey.[1]
The label was founded by Michael Gilligan in 1996 under the name Chapter 11 Records. In 1998, it was renamed first to Fake Chapter 11 Records and then to Fake Chapter Records because of a naming conflict with a record label in California.[1][2][3][4]
