"Stranger Than Fiction" is a song by American punk rock band Bad Religion, featured on their 1994 album with the same title. It was also the album's third single and is widely considered to be one of their best known songs.

More than a decade after its release, "Stranger Than Fiction" remains one of the band's concert staples. The live version also appears on their 2006 live DVD "Live at the Palladium".

At a Bad Religion concert in 1996, frontman Greg Graffin sang "I wanna know why Gurewitz cracked, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction" as opposed to "I want to know why hemingway cracked, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction".

ingle release

There is a 10" one-sided picture disc promo with the crossbuster symbol of which Dragnet only released 1,000 copies (also has Individual). There's a promo CD single which explains that "the talents of BR have been acknowledged by several critically-noted scribes, including British music watchdogs NME & Melody Maker, as well as Rolling Stone, SPIN, the Los Angeles Times & Chicago Tribune, Playboy and Village Voice among many others. (...) truly, nothing compares to the sheer power of BR live". It also has a sticker with a quotation from Charles M. Young: "true believer punks from L.A., Bad Religion have mastered its art form, creating defiant, burning music...".

The German single has "Leaders and Followers" (which appears as a bonus track on the European version of the "Stranger Than Fiction" album) and "Mediocrity", and all the European dates for the STF Tour (including a mistake -it says Zurich is in the Czech republic).
