Epileptic Disco was formed in the Jamaica Plain area of Boston in the Fall of 1993 by Boston Latin Academy Alumni Tom Appleman, Rick McLean, Dennis Doherty, and Dan Daly. ED added Sam Appleman (Tom's brother) as a second emcee in October of 1995 after Sam jumped on stage during one of ED's shows to freestyle. From that point on, ED developed a unique sound of rap vocals layered with powerful heavy laden funk. ED released its first full length album in the Spring of '97 titled "Spread the Seed." ED's popularity grew with its independent release and in the Fall of '97 they signed a recording contract with Heavy Rotation Records (a division of Berklee College of Music) and released "Before, During, and After..." in May of '98. Jeff Rothman played drums on the second album and remained with the group until they disbanded in 1999. Over the years, ED played over 250 shows throughout the New England area (primarily Boston). Although nearly 10 years have passed, ED may be considering a reunion show in the near future...

Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's free so...
You guys were amazing the other night. I don't remember the last time I had THAT much fucking fun at a show. I still remembered most of the words! Thanks for all the memories. Good Job!
Alright, so for all those looking for Spread the Seed, we will have CDs for sale in Feb featuring a lot of material from 'Seed' as well as some rare tracks from our cassette releases(yes, I did just write the word 'cassette'...).
