ARTIST Final Evolution

Final Evolution

Final Evolution are a five piece Alternative Rock band based in Taunton/Bridgwater, Somerset. They came together in the early months of 2003, consisting of Craig Webber on drums, Dan Webber on guitar and Tom Langdon on bass. After a couple of band practices they asked Ben Gilholm to come in and play some guitar and attempt some vocals. It wasn't long, however, before they hit a problem. As they were building up to their first gig they realised, Ben wasn't a very good singer. They decided there to start looking for a fifth member of the band, and in the meantime, practice the music, getting everything tight, getting used to each other musically, ready for whatever was thrown at them. Over the following year and a half they played a couple of shadowesque gigs without a vocalist, letting the music speak for itself, coming second place in a battle of the bands in the process. They also auditioned a number of potential vocalists, but nobody they were happy with, and nobody that lasted longer than a band practice. Eventually Ben decided to go off to singing lessons and reclaim his old place as lead singer, and start to get the band on the local scene. Many gigs ensued, playing in Taunton, Bridgwater, and Plymouth. Next up for the band was to record a demo, to help get our music out there, so, late 2004 they stepped into Kewsound Studios in Kewstoke nr Weston Super Mare. They recorded 5 tracks of their own music in a very short space of time, and were the subject of a documentary for a friend's college coursework entitled 'Final Evolution: The Rockumentary' Still they were not happy with the vocals, and towards the end of 2005, Ben stepped down from vocal duties for the second and final time. Up stepped Karl Ficarotta, a clarinet player and friend of Craigs. As soon as the rest of the band heard his vocal talents they were convinced they had found their frontman, a powerful, slightly American voice, coming from a young 17 year old lad. The rest of the band were further blown away after their first gig with the new singer, and his first gig ever, he had the crowd hanging on his every word, he made them listen. More gigs were immediately lined up and within 3/4 months Final Evolution had already doubled their gig history, all that was left to do was to get a demo finished, one they were proud of. And so, in June 2006, they once again stepped into Kewsound studios, where they spent three days creating a six track demo that would hopefully help them to get more gigs, and to expand from the usual venues to new places. It was in August 2006, on the day of the 2006 Bridgwater Wired Festival that bassist Tom decided to leave the band. The band are currently looking to find a new bassist to make there line-up complete once more. Until then we have recorded new material and played acoustic gigs.
