Simon Garrod-Eschalon

Twisted, Torn And Moist

2024 is promising to be the year that gives the most!
I caught up with my friend Simon Garrod, UK TechFest organiser and guitarist of Eschalon! This man has been around, seen a lot and his experience in the music scene really is one to be treasured. Not only are we extremely grateful that people like Simon exist especially when it seems at times the music scene is coming crashing down, venues closing, bands breaking up etc.
Founded in Cambridge by Simon Garrod and Miles Taylor, Eschalon has been a behind-the-scenes project for many years. During lockdown, the band finished writing multiple bodies of work before recruiting the right members for the job, which eventually saw the culmination of what we know as Eschalon today, it's amazing who you meet in Pizza queues these days isn't it?!
Their recording started with Meyrick De La Fuente of Floodgate Audio in late 2021 to create their captivating auditory and visual brutality. Mixing dissonance with serenity, Eschalon draw from a wide range of influences, fusing multiple genres to create a dense and chaotic soundscape, with beautiful visuals that will leave you hypnotised!
What a year Eschalon have planned for us all, not only are their videos on another level, no CGI was used when making them, what you see is a true reflection of hard work, persistence, unbreakable friendships and a lot of passion that has built up over the years.
Considering their first gig as a band was in October (3 months ago) they are storming through the music scene like bulls in a china shop!
So promoters around the country, get them booked because I have no doubt that they will skyrocket this year!!
