Look Forward to Failure is an EP released on November 10, 1998 by
The Ataris on
Fat Wreck Chords. This was the first album released to feature fan favorite "
San Dimas High School Football Rules", a song that would later appear on Blue Skies, Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits. The band also intended on putting the song "That Special Girl" on Blue Skies, Broken Hearts as well but it didn't make the cut. The song features
Mark Hoppus of
Blink-182 on backing vocals. The version of "My Hotel Year" that appears on this
EP is the electric version and contains an extra verse at the end. The version that ended up on Blue Skies was acoustic and shortened.
Tracks 2, 3, 4, and 6 were recorded and mixed at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, CO on September 14–18, 1998. They were produced and engineered by
Bill Stevenson and
Stephen Egerton and mixed by Jason Livermore.
Tracks 1 and 5 were recorded at Orange Whip Studios in Santa Barbara, CA. They were produced by
Joey Cape and engineered by
Angus Cooke.
