muzic | Who are you favourite musicians/bands that have an influence on your music? |
Epitome | The entire New Zealand music scene at the moment is such an inspiration for us. Bands like Led Zeppelin and Linkin Park. |
muzic | Who would you most like to support live? |
Epitome | Metallica!!! And maybe The Stones but Metallica. |
muzic | How do you describe your sound? |
Epitome | Ummmm, other people have said anything from Audioslave to Silverchair (not so much) and the likes of Nickleback. |
muzic | What do you think you would be doing if you weren’t in Epitome? |
Epitome | Anything from Golf to Producing records. |
muzic | What do you think about when you write? |
Epitome | Grant: Writing songs is always on my mind. I just write about day to day stuff, drawing from my personal experiences. |
muzic | I understand that it was you guys that had the idea for the tour. How did you come up with the name? |
Epitome | It was Carl’s idea to do a tour, it started out about 8 months ago, and it was just going to be places close to Auckland like Tauranga. It was meant to be small but got a bit bigger than planned. Then Inertia sound and light came on board and it was part of the agreement. But it was a cool name anyway. |
muzic | What have been some of the highlights of the tour? |
Epitome | Stalkers!!! Haha it’s weird being followed around. But cool. The first gig at The Mount was awesome. Just being on the road was a highlight in itself. |
muzic | Apart from the stalkers, what was the weirdest thing that happened on tour? |
Epitome | This random guy in Hamilton that just stood there and pointed for like 2 songs. I think he wanted to come up and sing. |
muzic | What can you ever leave home without? |
Epitome | Deodorant. Our Coastlines Clothing. Are we allowed to plug the guys that keep us clothed? |
muzic | Where do you see yourselves in like 5 years. |
Epitome | Oh man. Heaps has happened in our first year that we have really high hopes for the band. In the few years hopefully an Epitome album and radio singles. |
Epitome rock hard. If you want some noise, these guys really impress. With first impressions lasting it won’t be long before they have an intense fan base. They are Carl [Drums], Warren [Vocals + Guitar] and Grant [Bass].
Epitome would like to thank Coastlines Clothing, Inertia, and everyone that has helped with the tour and came along.
