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.
