Recording

Mullet Fever was created and recorded in the Fall of 2001 largely in one session at the band's rehearsal space. Some songs were written and recorded on the spot, while others had small edits performed shortly afterward. The style of this record is more raw and punk-like grindcore that is different than most other Fuck the Facts releases.

Release history

Reissue

In 2005, Mullet Fever was reissued on Sonic Deadline Records "to document the first incarnation of Fuck The Facts as a full band."^[2] It featured new artwork by current singer Mel Mongeon and it was remastered by Craig Boychuk. The reissue expands on the original release to include every release the band recorded with vocalist Brent Christoff. It features the following media:

• The standard Mullet Fever tracks (minus the live version of "Roach").
• "Blood Pulp", recorded in April 2001 and originally released on a split with Ames Sanglantes. It features only Topon, Matt and Tim.
• The Four0ninE EP, recorded in May 2001 and originally released on 99 mini CD-Rs. This was recorded after both Shomir and Brent had joined the band.
• Music video for "Roach." Video footage recorded September 23, 2001 at Planet Kensington (Toronto, Ontario). Edited and produced February 2005.
