Doug Marks is a well known and respected music attorney for the famous start up record company, Epitaph Records.
Epitaph has represented a plethora of music giants such as Bad Religion (guitarist Brett Gurewitz started the label), Weezer, Social Distortion, The Matches, just to name a few. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitaph_Records.)
Because Epitaph is such a huge success story in the music industry and its beginnings so humble, the folks I know in the record business referred to Epitaph’s start up success as “The new kids on the block.” In other words, they really made a huge impact when they appeared on the music scene, had a lot of heads turn their way out of respect when they arrived.
In this podcast, Doug and I share some time chatting about Epitaph, their amazing success story, some of the bands with the label as well as an item or two a bit off the charts.
Take a listen. It’s a fun one….
