Født ud af en fælles længsel efter noget ægte opstod epoke i begyndelsen af 2024 med en mission om at redefinere grænserne for melodisk rock. Bandet består af fem erfarne musikere – Martin (vokal), Carsten (guitar), Kasper (bas), Johannes (keys/guitar) og Nick (trommer) – som hver især bringer deres unikke stemme og erfaring med for at skabe en lyd, der både er dybt personlig og universelt genkendelig.

Frøene til epoke blev sået i et coverband, hvor fire af medlemmerne forfinede deres færdigheder ved at spille musik, de elskede. Men ønsket om at fortælle deres egne historier og skabe noget originalt blev til sidst for stærkt til at ignorere. I december 2023 tog bandet en afgørende beslutning og lagde covernumrene på hylden for at kaste sig ud i udfordringen med at skrive deres egen musik. Besætningen blev fuldendt i april 2024, da Nick tilsluttede sig som trommeslager og cementerede gruppens kreative kemi.

Med rødder i personlige oplevelser og en dyb kærlighed til musik er epokes lyd en fængslende blanding af melodisk rock og filmisk intensitet. Inspireret af ikoniske bands som Kashmir (DK), Carpark North (DK) og Muse (UK) ser epoke også fremad og former deres egen identitet med musik, der bærer attitude, dybde og melankoli. Centralt i bandets kreative proces er Martins evne til at skabe uforglemmelige vokalmelodier og hooks, som fungerer som hjertet i deres sange.

I deres eget studie i Dragør, beliggende i Carstens anneks, har bandet dedikeret sig til at udforske deres musikalske vision. Deres debutsingle, “Stranger in a Crowd,” er et bevis på deres engagement i at skabe musik, der både rammer følelsesmæssigt og lydmæssigt. Sangen, som meget af deres øvrige musik, er gennemsyret af ægthed og afspejler livets kampe og sejre.

epoke handler ikke kun om musik; det handler om at skabe en forbindelse – en lyd, der skærer igennem støjen og taler direkte til sjælen. Med en ny æra af melodisk kraft på horisonten er epoke klar til at sætte deres aftryk og invitere lytterne med på deres rejse.

Born out of a shared longing for something genuine, epoke emerged in early 2024 with a mission to redefine the boundaries of melodic rock. The band consists of five seasoned musicians – Martin (vocals), Carsten (guitar), Kasper (bass), Johannes (keys/guitar), and Nick (drums) – each bringing their unique voice and experience to create a sound that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.

The seeds of epoke were planted in a cover band, where four of the members honed their skills playing music they loved. However, the desire to tell their own stories and create something original eventually grew too strong to ignore. In December 2023, the band made a decisive leap, leaving cover songs behind to embrace the challenge of crafting their own music. The lineup was completed in April 2024 when Nick joined as the drummer, solidifying the group’s creative chemistry.

Rooted in personal experiences and a profound love for music, epoke’s sound is a compelling blend of melodic rock and cinematic intensity. Drawing inspiration from iconic bands like Kashmir(DK), Carpark North(DK) and Muse(UK), epoke also looks forward, shaping their own identity with music that carries attitude, depth, and melancholy. Central to the band’s creative process is Martin’s ability to craft unforgettable vocal melodies and hooks, which act as the heart of their songs.

Recording in their own studio in Dragør, located in Carsten’s annex, the band has dedicated themselves to exploring their musical vision. Their debut single, “Stranger in a Crowd”, is a testament to their commitment to creating music that resonates emotionally and sonically. The song, like much of their work, is steeped in authenticity, reflecting life’s struggles and triumphs.

epoke is not just about music; it’s about creating a connection – a sound that cuts through the noise and speaks directly to the soul. With a new era of melodic power on the horizon, epoke is ready to leave their mark and invite listeners to join them on their journey.
