| The Skinny | My Epic is an indie band based in North Carolina. They sport a lot of ambient, reverberated guitar work that all melt down to catchy choruses made up of very organic singing and yelling. This mash up evades poppiness and is really, really cool. | |

| For Fans Of | Circa Survive | |
My Epic describes its sound as tender, raw, and full of emotion and that sounds about right - music's kind of like a math equation, what you add to one side, results on the adjacent. Well, all the side effects of emotion, like "lameness" (for lack of a better word) are avoided to great length. The raw power they supply, which might have you guess they have a hardcore, gritty thing going on, is nothing more complex than three animated guys leaving it all out on the stage.
The band makes a good effort in exploiting vocalist Aaron Stone's creepy, high-pitched voice to great advantage. For me, the band's energy and power come from the chilling sounds his voice provides combined with his very real guitar work. These elements are surrounded by some pretty staple drum and bass work, that I'm particularly a fan of - your opinion might vary with taste, though - it's very reminiscent of Circa Survive in all departments.
As is evidence on the video below, the guys are all energy - if that's what you like, then this is for you: Power, high-pitched vocals, intricate and ambient guitar work, and tons of nuance to keep you coming back. I've really torn up their myspace this week, and I encourage you to follow suit.
