Echoing August
www.echoingaugust.net
Described as “Hook-Centric Modern Rock,” New Haven based Echoing August fuses together alternative music with acoustic subtleties.
EA’s distinctive blend delivers songs full of hooks and rock sensitivities that audiences throughout the northeast can’t seem to get enough of.
From high-energy live shows to intimate acoustic venues, the band has proven their natural talents as powerful songwriters and entertainers. Echoing August performs over 75 live shows every year at festivals, colleges, and clubs. Recently the band has gained notoriety tour supporting acts like Breaking Benjamin, Better Than Ezra, The Pat McGee Band, Rusted Root, Robbie Krieger (The Doors), and Evans Blue.
”The band excels at sounding un-self-conscious, comfortable enough in their musical abilities to let the hooks come naturally and the guitars, bass, and drums wrap around each other organically rather than mathematically” said PLAY Magazine. It is this sound that has attracted the support of EA’s new record label RoHo Records (NYC). In a recent press release, label president Bill Carey had this to say of the band "Echoing August's unique sound, energy, and enthusiasm are contagious.”
Backed by RoHo, Echoing August is set to release their sophomore effort, “Who We Are.” Dan McLoughlin, whose previous credits include Buffalo Tom and Juliana Hatfield, produced the album.
The Twelve track disk showcases versatility with stand out tracks like “Stand Down” and “Who We Are,” and still leaves a sweet aftertaste with songs like “This, Kind of, Goodbye” and “Radio.”
“Who We Are” is scheduled to be released August 29th, 2006 through RoHo Records.
EA’s debut album, “Morning, Sometimes, Maybe…” is available in stores nationwide

Find and listen to this at any cost
author: John Book, Music For AmericaIt's modern rock with a few twists, or at least that's how Echoing August describe themselves. I will have to say that this three-piece from Connecticut have the musicianship, the hooks, and the vocal ability to become a success, and apart from a few profanities which graces Who We Are (RoHo), they should have no problem with getting their music on the radio, and perhasp more importantly in 2007, to be heard. They sound a bit like Green Day with more of the pop influence and a lot less punk, and at times they seem to show a love for British rock too, with the kind of sensibilities that makes the music irresistible. The group sound very comfortable in their own skin, and as I browsed through reviews of their earlier material, some say they have progressed into a stronghouse. If this is progression, one can only imagine what they will sound like in a few years if they keep on finding, defining, and refining their craft. They could easily fit in with the jamband crowd as well as with more sophisticated rock venues. Find them at any cost.
Echoing August’s “Who We Are” has both gradual and jumpin’ songs any pop fan wil
author: Sari N. KentEchoing August - Who We Are "- “Who We Are” from Echoing August has a vocalist whose voice translates stormy emotions as well as the sweetest sentiments and sounds similar to Jason Wade of Lifehouse. The first track has what sounds like a synthesizer and lyrics like, “I don’t know why…I don’t have an answer for the fucked up things we do.” The second track has drum play and more lyrics about uncertainty like, “I don’t know if I can keep it together.” The third track has a slower tempo with lines like, “She says its cold outside…I’m wonderin’; why I don’t even know.” The fourth track has a darker tone to it that is aided by more drum play and lyrics like, “We always fall this hard.” The fifth track is a good cruising in the car song with its steady rhythm and lyrics like, ‘When you’re lost in life, and you’re friends seem so behind, sometimes we’ll fall apart, sometimes you’ll pick me up. When you’re lost in love and your life seems so far gone.” The sixth track has guitar and an effervescent flow with lines like, “You’ve come so far, long and winded…but your waiting for an answer, take a seat and ride, I don’t wanna sing the same old song.” Echoing August’s “Who We Are” has both gradual and jumpin’ songs any pop fan will enjoy."
