Echo Kings

post brought to you by: dyson

A new Boston band has hit the streets. Echo Kings have a well polished sound that will definitely get you grooving. Pulling influences from all over the place, their debut album is one that lets you know these guys know what they’re doing.

The members have been touring with other well established bands for years but it seemed the time was right for them to come together as a group.

They’ll fully admit that they’re not the next groundbreaking band with a “sound like no other”. But their goal is for people just to have fun while listening to their record and at live shows. They’ve definitely accomplished that. It’s packed full of tracks with dance grooves, synth lines, and catchy vocals you’ll be singing over and over.

Echo Kings is made up of Andy Wesby, Drew English, Marcos Valles, and Sean Cronin. For a debut record, these guys really sound like they’ve been playing together for much longer than they have. Marcos keeps things moving on the drums and Andy really pulls it together with his solid vocals and vision.

The production is incredibly tight and full sounding. It’s really clear yet hits you with some great impact.

If you’re lucky enough, catch their CD release show tonight, July 21st at Great Scott in Allston, MA. If not, they’ll have a show coming up on August 3rd opening up for Paramore, Tegan and Sara, and New Found Glory. More details here.
