:I was just wondering the same thing.  From what I can tell they are no longer working together (found two articles online about a lawsuit filed by Possum against Epitaph).  I am going to remove it for now until we find proof that they are. Mparker413 (talk) 13:51, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Fat Possum Records

message: "Recently in 2003, Epitaph has sparked some controversy among its fans by signing noted alternative rap artists Atmosphere and Sage Francis and noise/grindcore band The Locust, leading to many heated debates about what constituted the true nature of "punk" music, but so far the new groups seem to feel at home on the label. Merle Haggard has also released material on the Epitaph label (If I Could Only Fly (2000) and Roots Vol. 1 (2001))."
I find this hilarious, because Noam Chomsky has released a lecture DVD on Epitaph Records (probably among other material).  I guess Professor Chomsky is more punk than Sage Francis ;x.  Purists are such dorks. Subversive 09:53, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Nature of punk music" 

message: "1994 was the year that punk borke into the mainstream" what the hell does that mean?? What the were all the bands playing in the 70's and early 80's that were charting and doing sell out tours, the Ramones and Sex Pistols are just two exaples of bands that were "Punk" and were "mainstream". I understand that in 94 there was a resurgence, but I think this statment is a little ignorant, Punk was a huge mainstream culture in the 70's, and arguably it has never been as "mainstream" since, even with the sucess of many punk bands in recent years!
Don't wanna be MR.newschool basher, but i think this needs to be changed.

Yes punk was spearheaded by the bands that you mentioned (Ramones, Sex Pistols, etc) however none of those bands had nowhere near the amount of commercial success that bands from the 1990s had. I think that you are severely understating the impact that bands such as The Offspring and Rancid had by stating “that in 94 there was a resurgence”

message: "Throughout the 80s and 90s most of the bands on Epitaph were punk rock groups, while it is now primarily made up of emo and alternative bands. "
I'm removing the statement about bands being emo, and changing it simply to "alternative" bands, much less controversial, and will agree with the pages of bands signed to epitaph. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.176.107.150 (talk) 16:28, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone took From First To Last off of the former artists list and put From Famous to Loser. I edited it, but come on people, grow up a little. If you dont like a band go complain to your friends about it, but dont be a little brat on wikipedia about it. 75.202.27.238 18:00, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Apologies in (partial) advance for making so many little edits.  I don’t really have the time to do it all at once, so I’m going to pick my way through.  Please jump in and lend a hand, this could be a pretty good article. Mparker413 (talk) 12:34, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

message: How come Warner is listed as the parent company when their website does not list Epitaph as one of its labels? --Sprintabm (talk) 06:32, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Warner is the parent company?

message: Epitaph Records like Epitaph Europe are the regional offices of the label which is called Epitaph. Page need a major overhaul to correct this fact.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.103.170.227 (talk) 15:07, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
