About Echoes

Several bands are named Echoes. (1) A Progressive rock band, formed in late 2004 in Caracas, Venezuela, with the idea of making music without any kind of limits. Formed by three guitars, bass, keyboards and drums, adding a "cuatro" (typical venezuelan instrument) once in a while, you get to see a not so common line-up inside the standards of the genre. Shortly after the inception of the band, in may 2005, they won the prestigious "Festival Alma Mater Rock" in Caracas, being the first instrumental band in getting that award. Through 2006, they kept on playing live shows and in 2007 they took a break from playing live so they could start working on their first album, wich is due sometime around 2008. The album's name will be Nature/Existence and it should come out some time in 2009. Besides this, the band will be appearing in two compilation albums put together by Colossus Magazine (Finland) and Musea Records (France): Rökstenen: a tribute to swedish progressive rock of the 70's and Paradiso based on Dante's Divine Comedy. (2) An Ambient Post-Hardcore/Post-Metal project out of Winchester UK. www.myspace.com/echoes_uk Echoes, formed in the late summer of 2010, are an ambient post-hardcore band from Southampton, UK. Having released their debut album "Transcendent", they have dates planned to support the release and are looking forward to big things in 2011. Having only been the final line-up since the summer of 2010, their music has developed already into a more mature sound that nods at their contemporaries. Since the start of the self-produced album the band have worked solidly to promote themselves and have made several connections with promoters and other bands. Their music has been described as "perfect sweeping soundscapes", and they bring a fresh style to the young UK hardcore scene. The biggest influences on the band are the likes of; Devil Sold His Soul, Rinoa, Saosin and Underoath. Upon the release of the album the band have been working on newer material which incorporates more of an original sound developed from the album sound.
