Echovalve. To their fans, the band is a refreshing anecdote toover-processed, cookie-cutter rock music. Mainstream in their own right,they have managed to take a distinctively original approach to a familiargenre. With searing and melodic riffs, tasty bass lines, pounding beats,and intensely haunting, hook-laden vocals, Echovalve has honed a sound thatsets them apart.

Through the challenges of the highly competitive, ever-changing world ofthe music industry, Echovalve has remained steadfast. What kills most hasgiven life time and time again to a band that has refused to go away.Though the band is clean now, members have been plagued with drug andalcohol addictions and one band member was declared clinically deadfollowing a drug overdose (he lived to tell the tale). The band has touredthe country with no money, sleeping on park benches as they went from townto town. One band member was actually homeless and living on the streetsfor a while. That which did not break them only made them stronger and hasmade the successes that have come their way even sweeter.

Echovalve’s dedication to their craft has earned the band somewell-deserved notoriety:
