About Me

"Epic 26 pulled more than a few surprises out of the bag on the night. They now include a keyboard player in their ranks, whose pair of Korg synths lend a distinctive edge to the band's style. They managed to rustle up a sizable crowd, all of whom mobbed the front of the room as soon as the band hit the stage - a level of loyalty and passion we've probably only seen once before at Limbo (when Frightened Rabbit played last year). And last, but by no means least, said crowd promptly began jumping up and down with a level of energy that would put Zebedee in the shade. Naturally, this struck a chord with us and put a smile on everyone's face. The enthusiasm these lads inject into their stage show is utterly infectious and we're certain you're going to be seeing/hearing a lot more of Epic 26 in the future."- Limbo @ The Voodoo Rooms"This band have crept under the radar and suddenly Epic26 are in pole position as one of the new Scots bands to watch. Funny lyrics, a singer who sounds like Manic Street Preachers' James Dean Bradfield, a rock swagger and looks NME would burst a pluke to, they have the ingredients to make you call them your new favourite band. Lovin' Lucy has cheeky lyrics, the cleanest one being "she's from a well-off family but that don't stop her being filthy." Think Jarvis Cocker if he'd listened to rock rather than read books. It has the groove of Blondie with synths from Hazel O'Connor's Breaking Glass. And Stuck In Time's psychobilly stomp with lyrics like "he plays to groupies" is the tune Babyshambles always threatened to play"Rick Fulton, The Daily RecordShe wants it - Live at the Liquid RoomsNever Again - Live at the Liquid Rooms
