About Me

Epiphany is a five piece alternative-rock band making waves in the Manchester music scene, with the most talented musicians and a voice brought in from the east an awe-inspiring show is always expected.
Epiphany was formed in the autumn of 2005 under the name Gavér. Starting out as a “chilled cover band” they soon realised this was not the path for them; they immediately began writing their own music and experimenting with a unique sound, renaming themselves, Epiphany. After proudly finishing their first track, late 2005, they made it to the final of a city wide music competition. The group then spent the next few months, through to the middle of spring 2006, developing their sound and identity. After more live gigs and several successful competitions the band won two days recording time in the highly regarded Inch Studios, Manchester. Inch had worked with such artists as Harry Hill and Moby and now helped Epiphany put together their first, three-track EP. Winter 2006 then arrived, and after a much needed change to the line up, Danny Alexander took the place of former drummer, Adam Paulden. Epiphany was then ready to explode onto the Manchester music scene.After just seven shows from The Witchwood to headlining at Manchester’s Club Academy and one interview on BBC Radio Manchester, Epiphany were approached by Joanne Pendlebury of Red Shoes Management. Joanne decided to work with the band after attending their third gig, sharing their vision of all the music’s potential. Now with the combined drive of RSM’s hard work and dedication and the increasing passion found within the band; Epiphany were soon called out as far as Lancaster University to play at their end of year event and being requested at bigger venues such as Manchester’s Academy 3 by various promoters. Epiphany were becoming the sought after band.August 2007 saw Epiphany head into Blueprint Studios to record the two latest tracks (My Alternative & I Pray), part of their new EP and further adding to the upcoming album.Right now is an exciting time for the band as they have just received a preliminary contract from Manchester’s leading publishing company, The City Is Ours Music, and should be going into talks by the end of the year for a more long term contract.The future for these five boys is unpredictable and exciting, and if the past is anything to go by, their music and passion will take them far.

Tiger Lounge: Manchester Club Academy. Sept 2007 Tonight's line up at Club Academy is nothing particularly special. Several average bands play several average songs. Each one of the bands somehow feel that their music is not complete without a little bit more overdrive on the guitar resulting in the worry of metal oozing into the venue spoiling everyone but a head bangers' night.Then on comes Epiphany and suddenly the atmosphere refreshes itself. Epiphany's music is like today's indie sound with a bizarre gothic slant on it. Influences shine out of Epiphany very clearly throughout the night: Ben's vocals are similar to those of Morrissey's with a distinguishably deep voice and lyrical banter whereas Simon and Alex's performance on bass and guitar could be mistaken to be artists such as Incubus.Epiphany are a band that sound so much better live. It's easy to see that they enjoy being on the stage and love connecting with their audience. At one point during the performance, Ben announces that their next song is a new one called 'I Pray' after hearing this, guitar player Simon leans over to us to let us know that this next one's 'a bit weird'. It's this friendly relation with the audience that so many bands are scared of.Oh and the music is awesome too, songs such as 'Everlasting' make you feel as though you've known these guys all your life due its catchy chorus and easy-to-remember lyrics. Elsewhere the band becomes heavier yet still manages to retain the need for a dance keyboard with songs such as 'My Alternative' with its matter of fact style. They also swim around in more experimental tracks such as 'I Pray'. Epiphany are a band that are diverse enough appeal to many, but not too diverse so as to be unclear of the image.When Epiphany leave the stage, the audience seems much more pumped for headlining act Subrosa Tyrst, who sadly fail to meet the bar set by Epiphany. Hopefully, Epiphany will be the headliners next time.James Bingham Designer Magazine (17/10/2007) www.designermagazine.org
Influences: System Of A Down
Idan Raichel
Dream Theater
Muse
Racer X

Sounds Like: The fantasy sound arpeggios of Muse, supported by an undertone of System-styled vocals, wrapped in a theatrical facade inspired by Dream Theater, sprinkled with just about every other sound we've ever enjoyed to listen to. Only way to know what we sound like is to listen for yourself, enjoy.
