Teenage foursome The Tones are just one of the bands coached by Realistic Rock Academy in Epsom...

Who are you, where are you from and who does what?

We are The Tones from Epsom featuring Jake Cunningham on lead vocals and lead guitar, Joem Opina on bass guitar, Dan Foreman on rhythm guitar, lead guitar and backing vocals and James Morris on drums. We are all aged 13.

What kind of musical sounds emanate from you?

We have hints of the Small Faces melodies from the 60s, flavours of The Jam and The Modfathers, sprinkles of The Who and Noel Gallagher and a cracking blend of Miles Kane and the Artics.

In the big scheme of things, where do you fit in?

We're currently igniting an energetic guitar boy band where there's no room for anyone else to fit in!

What have you been up to recently?

We have played Bar XLR in Epsom and Manor House Girls School Firework Display, Realistic Rock end of year bands showcase at Bourne Hall, West Ewell, and Realistic Rock Christmas showcase at Epsom Playhouse.

Where can we see you play live soon?

See us and other bands play at the Realistic Rock Night at Bar XLR, East Street, Epsom, on Wednesday, January 25, from 8pm to 11pm. Under-18s are welcome if accompanied by a parent or guardian and entry is free.
