invisiblecola Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 epitaph records has got to be my favorite record company. buy yourself a couple of punk-o-rama cds (or rock against bush) and they'll soon be your favorite too! epitaph brings you groups like 1208, atmosphere, bad religion, the black keys, bouncing souls, dropkick murphys, guttermouth, horropops, hot water music, matchbook romance, the mathces, millencolin, motion city soundtrack, no fun at all, pennywise, pulley, scatter the ashes, special goodness, us bombs, and the weakerthans (to name a few). special goodness is a delicious band. as are the black keys anyone else a fan?

Reverend Jax Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I love the Bouncing Souls. Hopeless Romantic gets play on my stereo at least once a week. Didn't Offspring leave Epitaph after Smash basically got them their first multi-platinum album with Smash and then tried to take creative control over the follow up?

invisiblecola Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 it's possible. epitaph could be a controlling bastard like that but they do put out a lot of bands. plus their mixed cds are fairly cheap with a lot of different bands.. not just punk but they've been dabbling into other areas like rap as well.

MyLeakyBucket Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I love Epitaph. Been buying the Punk-O-Ramas for a while now, only missing #1 now, which is not too easy for find for a decent price. Of the bands I've encountered on the label my stand-out faves (who I have gone on to buy albums from after Punk-O-Rama) are Pulley, Ten Foot Pole, Atmosphere, Motion City Soundtrack and Bad Religion.

MyLeakyBucket Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Also, saw the Dropkick Murphys on the weekend. Not too shabby, although not my favourite. Really want to catch Pulley live, reckon they would be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I kinda grew out of epitaph. When I was younger I thought it was the shit, but I kinda strayed from it. I still listen to a little NOFX, Rancid and Bad Religion (Most everything "pre-stranger than fiction" is good for me but the "80-85" comp is the best, well worth checking out).

MetalHeart Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Last few times times I've been to Warped, Epitaph has been awesoem with the large amounts of giveaways I gotta agree with 2track. I'm still a fan of the music, but I guess my tastes have grown and changed over the years. I'm not so much "omgpunkrock!!1!!1!" *pets poor stickeredup car* but I still pop in a few old cd's and relive the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Damn it, I will never grow up, like Peter Pan!! I don't know. I don't think punk rock needs to be soemthing you grow out of, I think it can complement a more mature music taste nicely. I especially think bands like Pulley, Bad Religion, Pennywise, etc, write songs as grown up, honest and meaningful as most artists out there. Or maybe that's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalHeart Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I think my use of the word grown/grew was the wrong choice. My musical tastes have steered into another direction (industrial/goth/indie/etc). Of course with the help and aid of punk, and before that alternative. I dunno haha. I enjoy all music, but for the past few years, I just haven't listened to it much, nor have I been excited about fighting tweens to the front of a pit for a show. Maybe I'm just gettin old :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
