"The June Echo" EP Review
"So-cal indie rockers, The June Echo, have a sound all their own. They combine elements of many different genres of music to create their own take on the laid back lifestyle that surrounds them. You can hear elements of pop rock combined with a bit of singer/songwriter style. The so-cal vibe of bands like Rooney and Phantom Planet are mashed together with emo/indie sounds of bands like Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service. The end result is a short, yet powerful self titled EP. 'Collapse' is the disc's anchor track. Clocking in at over five minutes long, it showcases the bands wide array of musical abilities along with catchy lyrics and an almost fluid like progression. Todd Hannigan helped to record the drum tracks for the album, which adds an excellent layer to the mix. A small taste of the future, this EP whets your appetite for some chilled out indie rock sounds for this unique and talented group."
Painted as "indie rock," Southern California's The June Echo has taken one anothers influences and created a voice all their own. The band, Rocky (singer, guitar, rhodes), Terry (lead guitar), Matt (drums), and Will (bass), mostly came from differing musical genres and were only together 6 months before recording their EP that created an immediate buzz on the local scene. Having enjoyed constant listener appreciation, local shows, a tour up the coast, radio play and a review of their EP, the band returns to the studio to work on a full length that will demonstrate the growing dynamic and well-crafted song writing ability.

Hi there the JUNE ECHO (new track up) first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
We have also built a pretty big music community which you are welcome to join if you want to meet new artists like yourself!
Hey !
We've released our first album, titled Silence Factory. It has 9 songs reaching from lyric vocal electronica to funky dance tunes - flavoured in our style.
You can get it from iTunes, or from other major download stores - for details visit our space - where you can listen to the tracks as well.
Cheers!
We've just been taking a break for a while. I (clive) moved to San Francisco, so it's also hard to get anything done, but we agreed to still stay together.
This summer we are also planning to write new material and gig quite a bit. I'm looking forward to hearing the album!
