Epitaph has signed England's Ikara Colt in a worldwide deal excluding the UK and Japan. Their first release on Epitaph will be their debut "Chat and Business," which will be available in Europe on Monday October 14th. The album was previously released in the UK by Fantastic Plastic Records last March. The album's North American release will be in November. The Epitaph version of "Chat and Business" includes four additional tracks not included on the original UK release.

Epitaph's website quoted founder Brett Gurewitz with saying "I consider Ikara Colt a very important new band. This kind of style, smarts, and aggression has been sorely missed in music. I'm thrilled and honored to work with them and have high hopes for their future."
