About Anti

ANTI- is a sister label of Epitaph Records that was launched in 1999. Epitaph's focus is mostly on punk rock, whereas ANTI- has a more diverse roster, ranging from hip hop (Blackalicious) through reggae (Buju Banton) and country (Merle Haggard) to indie rock (Elliott Smith, for the release of his posthumous final album), among other genres.
Headed by label president Andy Kaulkin, ANTI- first gained attention by releasing Tom Waits' Mule Variations in 1999. Along with Waits, several veteran recording artists such as rhythm and blues singers Solomon Burke and Bettye LaVette, and Marianne Faithfull have signed onto ANTI- after leaving their major labels.
