The reason NASUM - Shift is not available on any streaming platform in the US

Shift is not available for streaming on any platform in the US. All of the band's other studio albums and recording compilations are available for streaming, but Shift has never been. I reached out to Nasum through their website, and received a response back from guitarist Anders Jakobson:
"The US rights are owned by Epitaph so they have not put it out there. Or, to be perfectly clear, made it available in the US. It is available in Europe. It's very annoying but there's not anything that can be done about it unless they decide to make it available worldwide.
Anders"
So apparently in the US, Relapse owns the rights to their entire discography EXCEPT Shift, which for some odd reason is owned by Epitaph. I reached out to Epitaph's Director of Sales and Streaming, Kathie Merritt asking about why Shift is has never been made available for streaming and if it ever will be, but I have not gotten a response back. Not holding my breath.
If anyone out there would like to email Epitaph to try and get the album available for streaming, her email is labelsales@epitaph.com. Maybe if enough emails about it get sent, it will get their attention.

I remember the lgmb trope where threads would be like "Band seeks guitar player that can ________, contact _______"
The best one was "Band seeks singer that can swim, contact Nasum"
