05. What's the story behind Epitaph?

Epitaph Records was founded in 1981 by Brett Gurewitz of the influential punk rock band Bad Religion. This incredibly diverse and resolutely artist friendly label first entered the annals of pop culture in the early 90s when it introduced previously underground artists such as Rancid, The Offspring and Pennywise to a vastly larger audience, earning the bands gold and platinum records, and forever changing the sound of popular music.

Epitaph has since added additional imprint Anti-Records, which has developed into an independent power house servicing a roster of acclaimed and iconic artists such as Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Neko Case, Mavis Staples and many more. Epitaph Records currently operates out of offices in Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Toronto and Melbourne.

06. How do I get the PSP videos onto my PSP?

Once you download a PSP video, the file is automatically given a suitable name format for use on your PSP.

You must then move the file to the appropriate media directory on your PSP (usually titled "MP_ROOT"). This can be done by using any PSP media management software or by exploring your PSP through your computer operating system.

Once the video file is in the correct directory, it will appear as a playable video file on your PSP game deck.

07. Where can I find band photos and other press materials?

You can find band photos, .PDF files, logos and all other press materials in both the Press Kits and Goodies sections of the website.

08. Who designed the new Epitaph.com?

The latest version of Epitaph.com was created by Cuban Council, including design, development and Flash production. The audio player and the header heat particle system for the site were created by Branden Hall and Joshua Davis. Additional development support was also provided by Mark Armendariz.

09. Did the Epitaph logo change? Who's responsible for that?

Yes, it most certainly did. A little bolder, huh? Dave Kinsey @ BLK/MRKT or Kinseyvisual was brought in to rebuild the Epitaph Identity System.
