Look Forward to Failure is an EP released on November 10, 1998, byThe Ataris onFat Wreck Chords. This was the first album released to feature fan favorite "San Dimas High School Football Rules", a song that would later appear onBlue Skies, Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits. The band also intended on putting the song "That Special Girl" onBlue Skies, Broken Hearts as well but it didn't make the cut. The song featuresMark Hoppus ofBlink-182 on backing vocals.
