Wow, it’s autumn already, November even, I can hear fireworks outside and it’s not even Guy Fawkes (there’s a guy who had the right idea) yet. Well, we have managed to make a music video, have had our long established keyboard player, and not so long established lead guitarist (featured in the new video) leave for … Continue reading
A journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step
It’s been a busy old time for echo these last few months, our pipelines are stuffed with potential. We film our first professional video with RJAH films the start of September, we have recorded 4 of our new tracks and they are sounding pretty darn sweet (even if I do say so myself), we took … Continue reading

Then the rain came down
I blame my compulsion towards superheroes for one of my fascinations. I’ve always loved the thought of having a superpower, but when asked what power I’d like I always struggle.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…..
Well it’s a grey Scottish morning, and I am sat with top gear on in the background, thinking about the future.

The best things come to those….
It’s been a while coming, but Spectra Records have given us our official release date for ‘Beauty In An Average Life’…drum roll please…. It is the 14th January While its a little further away than we had anticipated, it turns out that we know a lot less about releasing an album to a worldwide audience … Continue reading
Tortoise and the hare
Hi guys, please excuse the sporadic nature of the blog posts, it’s partly that we’re not in the habit of blogging and partly life getting in the way. We will endeavour to try and be more attentive from now on. So, what’s been going on? It’s been a busy and fun time for team Arcadia, … Continue reading
