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. 

Red Filter n' Cooffee is my Project before even I know that... it was the breath of my vision, what made the clouds desapear and the Songs flut out of me natural as the breeze, or the voice of a sopranus.

Now, you have it in your hands and ears, and I tell you to take a good advice of it. It's my thoughts and time invested in it, don't waste as a boring noise or a not so good voice, listen what I have to say, try to feel what I was feeling when wrote, because never made art in vain.
