Epitaph Records has long been a powerhouse in independent music, shaping the sound of punk, hardcore, and alternative scenes since its founding by Bad Religion’s Brett Gurewitz in 1980. I first discovered the label as an angsty teenager at my local Warped Tour in 2009, where I learned a majority of their signed musicians were ones I was banging my head to the hardest, so when I was reached out by them in 2025, It felt full circle to work with one of the best heavy-hitting record labels. That moment stuck with me, making it all the more surreal when Epitaph reached out to collaborate in 2025.

Our shared bold, brash aesthetic made for a natural creative partnership. The projects I’ve worked on with Epitaph have been event-based, designed to capture the raw energy and rebellious spirit of the musicians and venues they support. Check out some of that collaborative design work below!
