Epidemic consists of lead singer Boris Bouma, Bruce Allen (guitar), Jimmy DC ...
(bass) and Tim Ganard (drums).
Together with producer Rick Parashar (Pearl Jam) the foursome went into the studio to record their self-titled debut. Melodic vocals and music ranging from soft melodic to more heavier orientated songs characterize Epidemic’s sound. They combine elements of grunge, nu metal and at times even good old fashion pop music. Boris is a very talented singer who can easily switch between Maynard (Tool) alike to more grungy (Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder) alike vocals.
Add to this Bruce’s melodic and heavy guitar riffs, Jimmy’s groovy bass lines, Tim’s up tempo rolling drums and even a live orchestra ("Burden Of A Thought") and you’ll have a nice idea of what Epidemic is capable of. They fuse the best elements of modern rock music into a perfect melodic blend of heavy music which can appeal to fans of Pearl Jam and Nickleback, but also to fans of Deftones and Linkin Park!
