changed their name

In the band’s early beginnings in the mid-1990s, they performed as Cracked Macaroni at Santa Ynez Valley Union High School. Shortly thereafter, the band played under the name The Ivy League, but in 1996 they changed their name after signing to the Honest Don’s Records label to avoid confusion (as well as potential litigation) with two prior bands that had the same moniker. The band’s debut album, Quality Soft Core , was released the next year. After the release of the album, the band was signed to Fat Mike ‘s label Fat Wreck Chords , through which the Mad Caddies have released 6 other studio albums, 2 EPs, and a live album. The Caddies have toured extensively throughout their career, including tours across the US, Europe, Japan, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and South America. Punk Rocksteady was released on June 15, 2018, and was produced by Fat Mike. In 2020 the Caddies released a 5-song EP titled House on Fire on Fat Wreck Chords. In 2023, the band signed with SBÄM Records, announcing their eighth studio album, Arrows Room 117 .
