I found out the classic Epitonic was back online the other day, and I’ve subsequently been scrounging around there, waxing nostalgic about all the awesome music I discovered throughout the years thanks to Epitonic. With all the reminiscing, I thought it might be good to compile a mix of — if memory serves — the first song I heard from 10 different bands I found on the site.

This list is in no way comprehensive, but these 10 were definitely situated in the forefront of my mind when poking around. I still listen to a good chunk of these bands regularly, with some discoveries fueled obsessive fascinations that are firmly planted in my dome to this day.

And to complete this little trip down memory lane, I decided to include the circa ’01/’02 photo above — from the days when I would hop on Epitonic, wait 10 minutes for a song to download halfway, then get pissed when I realized it was the one I’d already heard — which is one of the few times you’ll ever see me without a beard… or with a full head of hair.

Have you been lounging around on Epitonic recently, remembering your past musical conquests? Are there specific songs you from your days on the site you’ll never forget? Send me the list and links to the files, and I’ll get your Epitonic discovery mix up sometime soon on Buzzgrinder, too.
