"Stranger than Fiction" is a song by American punk rock band Bad Religion, featured on their 1994 album with the same title.

At a Bad Religion concert in 1996, frontman Greg Graffin sang "I wanna know why Gurewitz cracked, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction", referring to then-former and now-current guitarist Brett Gurewitz, as opposed to "I want to know why Hemingway cracked, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction".

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 and Melody Maker, as well as Rolling Stone, Spin, the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune, Playboy and Village Voice among many others.

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 Japanese version of the Stranger Than Fiction album; it is also included on the Clerks Original Soundtrack) and "Mediocrity", and all the European dates for the STF Tour.
