Yep, It's that time again; Band of the Month. This month after some of the best submissions we have had, we finally decided on Zepher.

Let's here what they have to say!

How did you guy’s form?

- My brother (Toby) and I (Louis) put the band together by advertising in local music shops and our university. Sam originally wanted to audition for lead guitar but we had already found Luke for that role. Sam then got in contact a second time to audition for bass and the rest is history.

“Brand New Day” is an awesome track and demonstrates a very unique style – how did that track come about?

- That's a song that I (Louis) wrote before we put the band together. It's simply a feel good, life affirming summertime song that seems to resonate with a lot of people for whatever reason? I guess that explains the vast amount of MySpace hits?

How did you get some many listens to the track on Myspace?

- Promotion promotion promotion! We would each spend hours adding people, sending messages, posting blogs..but I guess you have to acknowledge the strength of the track too, you can advertise all you like but if the songs ain't strong it's all in vain.

What is your general writing process?

- Well it's usually either myself (Louis) or Luke that will come up with the bare bones of a track i.e. a guitar riff, chord sequence or vocal melody. We then bring the track to the band and work on each instruments part and any harmonies.

What do you find most difficult about being an unsigned act in 2011?

- Not being signed! haha

What are your top tips for other unsigned bands?

- Give up, so there's more room for us.
Work hard, always give 100% live, add a small amount of luck and hope for the best.

What is your fantasy band line up?

- Louis Ellis (Vocals), Toby Ellis (Drums), Sam Evanson (Bass), Luke Hall (Guitar)

Tell us an amusing band story

- We once threw a t.v out of a hotel window, drove a rolls into a pool an various other clichés. haha

What are your views on Band Assist?

- Your doing a good job lads, there aren't many (if any) web sites dedicated to helping up and coming bands with the business side of the industry. And bands need to learn about the legalities involved with the music business..after all, it's your career look after it.

What’s next for you?

- Well, we have a brand new EP out entitled: Who The F**k Are Zepher, which is available to download from iTunes this very second! It will also be available to buy from us at our shows.
We are currently in the running to play this years FIB Festival in Spain, and you can vote for us by following this link: http://www.supajam.com/fib2011/entry/zepher-1

Other than that, we'll be gigging as much as possible, writing new tunes and having a good time.
