Writing catchy songs while still maintaining credibility as a heavy band is a feat Ecotone has managed to pull off, and the band always seems to stand out at shows with a unique brand of urgency and emotional intensity. Ecotone has shared the stage with many large acts: Aiden, The Bled, The Sleeping, and From Autumn to Ashes to name a few, and has crafted an energetic live show full of flying guitar necks and swinging microphone cables.
Ecotone's most recent effort Here You Are, Here You Belong, a 6-song EP recorded and mixed by Arun Venkatesh and Tim Gilles (Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, 36 Crazyfists) opens with “Cement Hands are Heavy (Raise Your Glass)â€, characterized by sudden double-kick blasts under a whirlwind of textured guitars. Standout tracks like “Let's Call Him Johnny Boy†and “Hammerback†take listeners on a ride from sing-along choruses and infectious verses to up-tempo two-steps and swinging breakdowns. The band seamlessly combines catchy choruses and hooks, ambient technicality, and churning breakdowns into songs that stick with listeners and keep them coming back.
