    Yeah, that's a discrepancy in the post. I haven't read anywhere that Pennywise has left Epitaph or that The Fuse was their last album for them. They've just teamed up with this digital company to release the new album for free online. Epitaph is still putting out the CD & vinyl. They're still on Epitaph.

    A lot of the older Epitaph acts have grown enough that their vanity lables are now big enough to support themselves, so those bands just switch over to their own labels to simplify things. That's what NOFX did with Fat, Rancid with Hellcat, Bouncing Souls with Chunksaah, and Dropkick Murphys with Born & Bred. Rancid's a good example: when Hellcat was small and really just a vanity label for Tim to put out ska & psychobilly records, Epitaph still did all their distribution. So all the old Hellcat stuff has both labels printed on it & a lot of the Hellcat acts would show up on Epitaph's Punk-O-Rama comps. Now Hellcat is big enough to do its own distribution. The only Rancid album that wasn't technically "on" Epitaph was Indestructible, and Epitaph still distributed the vinyl release if I recall correctly. But Pennywise hasn't switched labels and they don't have a vanity label of their own, so they're still on Epitaph.
