Press release:

Epitaph, home to some of the biggest bands in punk rock like Bad Religion, Rancid, NOFX and Pennywise is launching an all-new website. The newly redesigned EPITAPH.COM was in the developmental stage for nearly a year and now it is completed and ready for launch! On Monday, August 26th the new website will be made available for public viewing and usage. Based on a completely dynamic, database-driven infrastructure the all-new EPITAPH.COM is an environment specifically designed to cater to the broadest spectrum of the Internet community.

Featuring over 500 full-length MP3s available for download, a completely searchable video library containing over 240 music videos, live performance pieces and artist interviews, in-depth artist Press Kits, high resolution photos and more, the all-new EPITAPH.COM is undoubtedly one of the most media intensive sites any record label has ever compiled!

By using the very latest technology in functionality and interactivity, nearly all sections of the site will serve as public forums, allowing users to post their thoughts and opinions on the different aspect of the site.

Other new sections found on the site are as follows: "Chat" - A chat room and schedule of all interactive events with Epitaph artists; "Tours and Events" - A searchable database of all tour dates, television and in-person appearances, radio appearances, etc.; "Goodies" - Featuring wallpapers, icon sets, screen savers, photos and more of all your favorite Epitaph bands; "Demo-Lition" - A public forum where unsigned bands can place their demos online and have them voted on by website users; "Discography" - Completely searchable database of every title released by Epitaph, including 7", vinyl, singles and more!

Interactive, user-friendly, cutting-edge and comprehensive are the words to best describe the all-new EPITAPH.COM and when it is launched we will be taking another step into the ever-expanding world of possibilities where music and technology fuse.

Career media professional Eric Olsen is honored to be the founder and publisher of Blogcritics.org, which, quite frankly, rules - as do his wife and four children.
