Is it true that Lagwagon was asked to get signed to a major label? Wikipedia says so. If you read their biography on Wikipedia, it says "...a number of punk bands, such as Green Day, The Offspring and Rancid, had hit the mainstream and Lagwagon turned down offers to join several major labels."

I don't think they have ever been asked to join a major according to Joey a few years ago.

Being alive in 1994, I'm guessing that they had several offers. Every punk band did.

its really hard for me to imagine songs from hoss, or trashed being popular or on the radio. even nofx for that matter. if i went to school and saw a bunch of chicks singing don't call me white, my jaw would drop. i get the feeling that lagwagon especially would get dropped from a major label so quickly if they kept any sort of creative control

Thank god they said no! things turned out just right i don't want them in the same category as Green day, rancid, offsping, blink 182.........etc because Lagwagon are head and shoulders above all 4 of those bands combined!!!!!!!!! musically, and for album quality! and talent! joey cape is a over looked genius, and Lagwagon would have to be the most underrated 90's punk band of all time!!!! i like them just the way they are ;D

and I could be wrong about what Joey said, the interview I am thinking of was between 1997 and 1999.

I don't think you are. If The Ataris made it to a major, then Lagwagon could have.

the ataris are super poppy though. they are almost the perfect major label punk band. lagwagon is arty though
