Today on DISCOVER, I’m joined by Brad and Simon from ESCHALON . ESCHALON is a piece band from Cambridge/Manchester, United Kingdom. Current band members are Brad Makinson (vox), Maximo David (vox), Simon Garrod (guitar), Callum Smith (guitar), James O’Donoghue (bass) and Miles Taylor (drums).

I then met Brad through our dear friend Karl Riley of Carcer City who recently passed away. Brad brought Callum the other guitarist […]
