Rife with grinding, grunge-inspired guitar riffs and memorable choruses, Echo Son's music has evolved from an instrumental experiment into a formidable rock ensemble with a breathtaking live show.
The groundwork for Echo Son was laid in 2006 when Chicago scene veterans Alex Clark (guitar) and Chris King (drums) began writing music with bassist and Indiana transplant Ian Palmer. The arrival of former Emisis singer Brynn Robinson completed the lineup in late 2007.
Robinson's scorching, Ian Astbury-meets-Chris Cornell wail were the perfect foil for the churning, twisting musical passages the trio had been creating. The end result incorporated elements of progressive rock, '90s alternative, and metal.
Recently, Echo Son teamed up with eight other bands to form Chicago Noise Machine, a consortium of local groups pooling resources to promote concerts and support one another. Months after producing a sold-out concert at the Cubby Bear, Chicago Noise Machine organized the first-ever I AM (Independent Arts and Music) Fest, which featured 25 local bands (including Echo Son) on two stages, as well as a number of art and photography exhibits, at Chicago's historic Congress Theater.
In 2009 Echo Son released "Novella," a 4-song EP recorded at Nashville's Blackbird Studios with producer Niko Bolas (Neil Young, Bryan Adams, Warren Zevon). The album is available at the band's shows and at online services such as iTunes, Amazon MP3 and Rhapsody.

...like the Son we never had, we're sure you've heard that one before. But you never heard it from us so that makes it ok. We'd love to have you there. Thanks.
Don't you hate it when lame ass Rock bands from Chicago, whom you foolishly befriended months ago, randomly appear in comment form to invite you out to their inane shows as if they believe you're gullible enough (you know gullible isn't in the dictionary, right?!) and/or lacking in a social life to actually come hang? Me too. Good thing we're not much of a band or this would be awkward! Awkward like the first dance between two hormone raging teens going through puberty, haha! Alas, it's us, Oui Si Only You, in our most impersonal social networking form. Sorry to get you all excited to read your new comment only to be disappointed like a jilted lover on prom night. It's not all bad, at least we didn't do one of those weird, "Do you like me?" comments, right? I don't think our fragile hearts could have taken the answer to that one! Any who, we're rocking (I know, debatable right, but whether it's master debatable remains the ultimate conundrum!) our last few shows for the year out at a few splendid, unknown little Chicago establishments called Double Door (1572 N. Milwaukee Ave; 21+) on Wed. Nov. 18th at 8pm and Reggie's Rock Club (2109 S. State St.; 17+) on Sat. Nov. 28th at 7pm. We could all perish happily . . . if that's possible . . . knowing you came out and mocked our uninspired /downright ignorant brand of music along with our A.D.D. riddled stage energy. Peace face.
