The Fighters (band)

The Fighters were an American pop-punk band from Chicago and part of the punk rock subculture of the Midwestern United States in the early 1990s. Formed in 1993, the band's style included guitar-driven, energetic punk with gang vocals and humorous lyrics. They embraced the DIY ethic in recording and releasing records on lead-singer Jason Mojica's Rocco Records label, booking their own tours, and organizing punk rock shows in non-traditional venues such as laundromats. Members of The Fighters were involved in creating the third edition of the Maximumrocknroll DIY resource guide, Book Your Own Fuckin' Life, and were active participants in the Underdog Records collective, which helped distribute Chicago-area punk music around the world.
