From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the record label. For the type of vinyl record, see anti-record.
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. Several veteran recording artists such as Tom Waits, Solomon Burke, and Marianne Faithfull have signed onto ANTI- after leaving their major labels.
