Epic45

 

Epic45 are based around the nucleus of Rob Glover and Ben Holton, who grew up on the same street in a small village in rural Staffordshire, UK. Rob and Ben have been writing and performing music together since they were at school, and released their first single as Epic45 in 1998.

Subsequent 7” releases won airplay and praise from BBC Radio 1 DJs John Peel and Steve Lamacq, and albums followed on Canadian indie Where Are My Records. Joining Make Mine Music in 2004, they released the highly acclaimed EPs “England Fallen Over” and “Drakelow”, drawing comparisons with Disco Inferno, Hood and Boards of Canada.

2007 saw the band’s album “May Your Heart Be the Map” chosen as one of The Word magazine’s Top Ten Albums of the Year.
