About me: Born in Toronto Ontario Canada, Phil Epp began playing drums at the age of 6 years old after seeing Ringo Starr with The Beatles playing on the Ed Sullivan TV show. His parents bought him his first drum kit and Phil was hooked. But being so aggressive he eventually trashed his kit and his Mother refused to buy him a new set but instead enrolled him in piano lessons of which he hated. As years went by he eventually started taking percussion lessons in school which led Phil into playing with full Symphonies including the St. Catharines Symphony. Being the backbone of symphonic music resurrected the urge of thrashing out on drums like his idol John Bonham. So Phil saved up enough money and bought a good kit and pursued his dreams of being a Rock Star! Playing with bands in western Canada like Budakon, Harlot, Frenzy, Nick Danger & back in Ontario with Geneva, Rick Rose, Big Shot and others gave him valuable stage experience and taught him the essence of working together to get a band as tight as possible. Tired of touring the country playing covers in the same clubs over & over Phil decided to start fresh and stay home and gig around Niagara Falls with the hopes of finding some guys who had the same vision as him by starting an all original band. When Phil heard that his old friends from BRIGHTON ROCK (Greg Fraser & Stevie Skreebs) were starting a new original recording project, Phil jumped at the chance. They all got together in Stevie's basement had a few beers and jammed for hours with the motto "No Covers Allowed!" After about 6 months of rehearsing, they were armed & ready and entered the studio. FRAZE GANG was born. It's been a long and winding road but Phil Epp has finally arrived!
