Fat Wreck Chords releases MXPX EP

Fat Wreck Chords hass announced that they will be releasing The Renaissance EP from MxPx on May 22nd (Fat has not signed MXPX). This has caused some debate among fans concerned with the band's religious stance. Fat issued a statement : "MxPx meets the same criteria as all of our bands: they make great punk records, have an awesome live show, and are terrific people. This in no way means that we support Christianity or "Christian punk". I mean everybody knows Fat Mike is a Jew, how else do you explain his success as an entertainer? Fat Wreck Chords is a label committed to giving back to the punk scene and furthering progressive causes, and we will continue to be so."
Fat Mike was more light hearted, "We got Jews, Japs, Krauts, Queers, Catholics, Capes, Canucks, Muslims, and morons on the label. Why not Christians?"
