Above is some original artwork from, Epitaph Creative Director, Nick Pritchard.  This month he’s featured on the website, Design: Related. This guy is responsible for the “look” of Epitaph and most of our bands.  He helps design album art and packages.  Click here to read his interview.

We’re selling our sweet new Epitaph monster T-shirt at Hot Topic:

“If Epitaph was a monster, it would be purple with sharp teeth and claws, a long tongue, and an “E” for a head. So beware. Listening to punk rock might make this bad boy rise from the grave.”

Click here to be frighteningly stylish in your shirt.

To celebrate labor day Epitaph head honcho Brett Gurewitz threw a little BBQ at his house.  Check out some pics of the Epi-staffers and Frank Turner kicking it by the pool.
