My Epiphany
Pure, anthemic indie-electro rock. With the use of bass sample & keyboard rhythms, eccentric yet harmonious guitar, heart pounding drums, and sharp, thoughtful vocals, My Epiphany have a bright and orginal blend of the best styles of music in the world.
At age 16, John Swingset was at his house with 4 of his friends doing LSD while his mom was out of town. After hours (days?) of psychedelic revelry and well after the height of the trip, John needed a break from his friends and stepped out onto the balcony.
The sky was brilliant between the golden orange clouds as if painted on the azure blue by God himself. It was at this moment, the world broke. A huge eyeball opened in the sky, and communicated telepathically with him. It told him that he must learn to play guitar and sing. Shocked, unprepared, and in utter disbelief that he could ever learn to either sing or play guitar, much less at the command of a disembodied eyeball, John challenged it with a Question: How and/or why should do I do this? Its response was simple, “You have work to do.”
At that moment, My Epiphany was born. A synthesis of electronic and organic instrumentation, that allows their audience to soar to ecstatic heights through heart pumping anthems as well as explore the pits of despair in bittersweet haunting melodies.
Mirabilia, the first national release on Eyeball/Bardic records is written and thoughtfully directed like a sonic photo album of where the band has been and where they are trying to go. 4 years of releasing self-produced albums and relentless touring before finding their break has produced the backdrop through which all of the songs are set. The songs of Mirabila are the musical translation of these southern boy’s lives. Preferring to stir the thoughts of their audience as opposed to a producing a product of regurgitated rock imitation, My Epiphany aims high and knows that their work is not yet done.
My Epiphany has played with Thursday, The Faint, Desaparecidos, Glasseater, Brandston, Coheed and Cambria, The Used, Further Seems Forever, Hopesfall, Stretch Arms Strong, Vaux, STUN, Now It’s Overhead, ScatterTheAshes, and Milemarker.
