Biography

There is more than one artist with this name:


1) Epidemic was a Hard-Rock Band Based in Los Angeles with vocalist and chief lyricist Boris B., guitarist Bruce Allan drummer Tim Ganard and bassist Jimmy McDaniel.

______________

2) Epidemic was a metal band formed in early 1987 by Mark Bodine (bass), Guy Higbey (guitar), Erik Moggridge (guitar) and a friend on drums to play the senior night talent show at their high school in Palo Alto, CA. After playing a set of two songs (a cover of Metallica’s Creeping Death and an original song penned by Moggridge called No Mans Land) and enjoying the experience the guys decided to continue and pursue the band full time taking the Epidemic name from the Slayer song of the same name.

Recruiting drummer Geoff Bruce and vocalist Carl Fulli to complete the lineup the band entered a battle of the bands contest held at the Mountain View Theater in September of 1987. Having only recruited Carl Fulli a couple of weeks prior, and he having no previous experience, the band had no real expectations of winning the contest. After the first night of competition the band had reached the finals and subsequently won the competition the next night winning an opening slot for Death Angel the following month.

The band was on their way now and recorded their first demo in December of 1987 called “Immortal Minority”.

    Finally found the first album (The Truth of What Will Be) on CD. I swear whoever uploaded the version I pirated long ago must've been converting from shitty vinyl or cassette tape, there were these buzzing and crackling sounds on all the tracks that are gone on the CD.
