Mazzy Star are a duo from Los Angeles renowned for their slow, psychedelic, narcotic music. They're best known for their breakout single, "Fade into You," which became an unlikely crossover hit in1994. Spurred by the interest in "Fade into You," their second album, 1993's So Tonight That I Might See eventually chalked up platinum status in the USA; unheard of territory for a melancholy, shadowy act notorious for shunning interviews and publicity.

Epitaph Records is an independent music label founded in Los Angeles by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. Early releases from a variety of punk heavyweights spawned what became known as the 90s punk explosion. 

Along the way Epitaph proudly launched its sister label ANTI-, representing unique and distinguished acts. From the beginning Epitaph’s mission has been to serve the musicians on its diverse and creative roster - an artist-first model, radical twenty years ago, and much imitated today. 

BXRRELL (pronounced buhRELL) consists of YouTube and social media rock sensation Sophie Burrell, Sped Spedding and Simon Uselis.
Think pop-rock with emo edges, reminiscent of Paramore circa 2013 and present-day hypnotic Billie Eillish hooks, packed with scathing drumbeats and simmering guitar riffs that ascend and circle back on themselves, hell-bent yet triumphant.

Their debut single ‘Dare To,’ released on the 24th February 2023, is a battlecry for listeners to unapologetically claim their self-worth and flaunt it with a healthy dose of attitude and eyeliner.

As a fearless musical virtuoso in her own right, Sophie is one of the world’s most watched guitarists, with a collective online following of over 2 million. Her earliest guitar influences include the likes of Slash, Alter Bridge and Nirvana. When asked about the main themes of her songwriting, Sophie said: “Mental health is a big one. Reflecting on painful experiences through writing helps me process how I can grow and learn from them. Followed by self-love, knowing your worth and spreading a message of empowerment.”
