Epitaph Records signs The Menzingers
Music News | May 18th, 2011
This is certainly good news: The Menzingers have signed a record deal with Epitaph Records! One, because they are a good, some-what local (Scranton/Philly) punk band and two, because Epitaph Records needs better punk bands on their label. Congrats on the signing fellas.
Epitaph Records is thrilled to announce the signing of up and coming Scranton raised, Philadelphia based punk rock outfit The Menzingers. The band’s fiery early releases and dynamic crowd pleasing live performances on tours supporting Anti Flag and Against Me! have created a serious buzz and landed the group on several best of lists. Their high energy sound features crashing power chords, rock steady drumming and anthemic sing-along choruses alongside poetic salt of the earth lyrics in the vein of Against Me! and Gaslight Anthem.
Epitaph Founder and President Brett Gurewitz proclaims, “These guys play the kind of pure punk rock that I grew up with. They are seriously talented songwriters and I’m happy to welcome them to the Epitaph family. I think the band is a great fit here.”
