To stream the entire album, go to https:\/\/bit.ly\/2SobcHX<\/a>.<\/p>\n Epic Tantrum is comprised of members Peter – guitar, vox; Paul – guitar, vox; Greg – bass, vox; and Z – drums. The origins of the band started in 2007 when Peter and Paul began recording instrumental classical guitar pieces. They enjoyed working together and decided to write and record original material in Paul’s studio, known as The Strangers Room. Inspired by the creative process of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, the two wrote songs and tinkered with them until they were satisfied, at which point they brought in friends to round out their recording sessions. That’s when Paul’s longtime friend Z joined the band as the drummer. They named this collaboration Epic Tantrum, and recorded a demo entitled \u201831st\u2019 and \u2018Mary.’ Over the next few years, with several starts and stops, they continued to write and record material – but the goal of a full band remained elusive. In 2016 Greg joined the band as bassist and the hard work of finishing their debut album kicked into full gear.<\/p>\n Epic Tantrum released a lyric video for their song, “Letting Go. on February 6th. “Letting Go” is their first attempt at what the band members call cinematic music. The piece begins with a catchy but moody, emotional verse, chorus, then twists and turns until it becomes a bombastic, cathartic blast of emotion at the end. The video reflects this emotion with a mix of imagery that echoes the lyrics about disillusionment and heartbreak. You can watch the video at epictantrum.com\/videos<\/a> or on YouTube at https:\/\/bit.ly\/31v3AHM<\/a><\/p>\n Epic Tantrum started playing live in 2017 and has already shared the stage with national recording artists – such as King’s X.<\/p>\n \u201cThe perfect blend of prog and metal,\u201d \u2013 Mike Portnoy<\/p>\n “Epic Tantrum is like the bastard children of Rush and Steely Dan. Powerful clever songs with twists and turns and musicianship to match,” said Ioannis of DangerousAge Graphics. “This band is something special.”<\/p>\n “The best new band I have seen in over a decade,\u201d said the Matt Cooper, the owner of the Inside Out Tavern in Syracuse, NY where Epic Tantrum played their first show. \u201cThey played three songs in my club and I ran on stage, grabbed the mic and declared them my favorite new band!”<\/p>\n And with the arrival of \u2018Abandoned In the Stranger\u2019s Room,\u2019 the rest of the world will soon experience the outstanding talents of the fast-rising Epic Tantrum.<\/p>\n Abandoned In the Stranger\u2019s Room track list:<\/strong><\/em><\/u><\/p>\n Disc 1: Abandoned<\/strong><\/em> Disc 2: In the Stranger\u2019s Room (LIVE)<\/strong><\/em><\/u><\/p>\n 11 Baillee’s Gone Again (Live)
