Epitath Records

Who says punk is dead? Founded in 1981 by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz, Epitaph Records is one of the oldest and most successful independent punk record labels. While remaining resolutely underground, the label has tasted its share of commercial success with releases by artists such as The Hives, Offspring, Pennywise, and Rancid. Through its imprint labels Anti-, Burning Heart, and Hellcat, Epitaph has produced records by a more eclectic range of artists, including Merle Haggard, Refused, and Tom Waits. The label operates out of offices in California, Canada, and the Netherlands. Recently the label has collaborated with Rhymesayers Entertainment too bring you hip-hop style releases from Atmosphere and Eyedea & Abilites among others, with more to come.
