EpiTas is a relatively new local quartet that quietly released its debut, self-titled full-length last summer. And “quietly” is the operative term there–EpiTas’ music is pretty mellow stuff. Which is kinda weird, actually, since the band’s name supposedly comes from the Greek phrase “I tan I epi tas” which means “Come back with your shield.”
Anyway, the song “Wider Skies” comes from that from the debut and it has interesting alt-country/folk vibe. The vocals may be a bit over-emotive for some, but the music has a nice Byrds quality to it. EpiTas does, on occasion, rock harder, but this cut does a good job of summarizing what the band has to offer. Check it out.
Bonus mp3:
Consisting of George Miadis, Bill Mantza, Daniel Schmuck (no joke!) and Roy Oteo, EpiTas will be doing its thing at
on Saturday as part of the bar’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration.
