The Echo

About Me

With its americana twist and tequila-toting atmosphere The Echo conjour a cinematic live sound.
To date the acclaimed Cast Those Stones EP was followed by the acoustic Rice Jar Sessions upholding a simple ethos; to tell the best stories and to write the best tunes. Judging by their recent more ballsy musings, the best is getting better.
The Tin Foil Dreams EP can be found here www.the-echo.co.uk and there is even more on it's way.
The Echo have had many highlights during their gig years. They are all over Leeds and surrounding areas right now. Soon to be further afield. Pass on The Echo. Find them here:
