Shore band Epitome is testing the market with its first EP called 'Testing the Water'.

People may remember brothers Grant and Warren Marshall with Carl Hayman in a band called Dissident.

A name change, a Battle of the Bands appearance, lots of gigs, and four months in the studio and the band has got there.

The band's EP is produced by Jackson Andrews and was released at The Venue in Browns Bay on Thursday.

"We're not a band that has to hype our music, we believe it speaks for itself," Grant says.

Carl says the EP itself is testing the market for Epitome's style of music, and people are anxious to get a copy.

Emails flood in after gigs from people complaining that songs like 'Fade' are stuck in their heads, Carl says.

Epitome performed its first single Lost live on the Good Morning Show recently and is planning a North Island tour at the beginning of next year. According to the Oxford dictionary Epitome means somethign on a small scale that shows the qualities of something much larger, perhaps just what the band is hoping their EP will do. = )

I doubt many people will read this before they play, but TODAY (Thursday 18 September) they are playing on the good morning show. I'll sure be watching it!

I also heard the ep the other night and agree it is really really really cool. I'd say there aren't too many bands today who you could go and hear the same thing. I hear many influences in there, from Audioslave to Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

GREAT STUFF!

I've just listened to a lil' sneak peak of the up and coming Epitome EP 'Testing The Water' - and these guys are definatley something you should look out for!

From this one pre-mix track I can tell this is one band that is going to go far, just as soon as New Zealand gets a taste of them - so make sure you buy the new EP when it comes out (or we might have it in a competition soon so you can win it here)

Epitome rock!

I heard that the band is very unhealthy... both sexually and musically.

I know the singers health in particular has delayed some of the recording. It'll all be worth the wait though... because the EP is gonna rock!

Producer Jacko Andrews is a legend... I went in breifly and everyone loves him. While I was there, a Courier Post guy walked in off the street and asked for Jacko's signature... The courier was quite rude about it but not everyone was brought up as well as me.
