ECHO demo leaks on the Internet!!!

[Rafiennes]

OK, our website is not happening anytime soon and I figured that the couple of tracks I've put up here got a nice response. If you liked the music enough, hopefully when the time rolls around, you’ll support the band and purchase a CD.

So I’m leaking the album on to the Internet!

Some of you already have a couple of these songs; others don’t. If you like it, spread the word about us and we'll buy you a cookie!

Here it is:

ECHO – THE NINO SESSIONS

On this CD, ECHO are:

Erin Gould - vocals / guitars
Adam Bradford - guitars
Yanko Valdes - bass
Brian Scott - Drums / Percussion

(you know the drill - cut and paste URL, close up the spaces)

Track 1 – Come Fighting (If/when we get the record deal, this would be the first single)

http://s38.you send it.com/d.aspx?id=2QQXX1VJUES3O1T7HXADRJZOL6


Track 2 – Better Be Quick (more of a vibe song, kind of like overhearing a conversation in a club)


http://s38.you send it.com/d.aspx?id=0Q942FHFUM2TG1SJKN33BG8IP4


Track 3 – Blue (throwaway tune, would make a great b-side, has my favorite guitar solo)

http://s51.you send it.com/d.aspx?id=1RJ2SWVE9EC3B3QXZ8KPBN749X


Track 4 – Stay Above The Water (The Coldplay song AND another single)

http://s51.you send it.com/d.aspx?id=265BS7NNC8JNU26BJDR0QPDI17


Track 5 – There For Everyone To See (The Anthem song AND another single)

http://s51.you send it.com/d.aspx?id=0UYBPN6TXCRXD38M2HM75CJFB6


Track 6 – Tuesday (The New York song AND another single)

http://s51. .com/d.aspx?id=0KXTAM6382OET1K3SOX9Y3TO1Y


Track 7 – Going To The Top (The song to play at the Glastonbury Festival to 10,000 people, fists in the air, lighters ablaze!)

We recorded this in about 4 days so there are a lot of rough spots, some mixing and mastering that needs to be redone, but all in all, I think it gets the picture of what we’re capable of doing across. Please feel free to post all comments, good or bad.

Enjoy!

Well, I hope you like the songs. We worked hard on them. Let me know what you think - be honest, be brutal, be Simon from American Idol...OK, not that brutal...

 

[youtooellen]

earlier you posted the 'Tuesday' song, and I sent it to a few of my friends and they love it.

so thanks alot for leaking the cd! I'll try my best to tell as many people as I can about you and your band. I'm looking forward to listening to your cd

Pat Woodward (who is one of the best in NY) used Pro-Tools to get our wonky sounds down and make them sound good.

Glad you liked the tunes

LMAO! No, we are not REM. I have not taken to painting a giant blue streak across my face during performances – although, now that I think of it…hmmmm….could be a good idea! Nah, I have enough trouble trying to not execute Bono Moves on stage that I couldn’t take on another frontman’s shtick.

Very curious, which songs do we sound like REM?

Thanks for your ratings. Glad you liked the tunes. Give ‘Come Fighting’ a few more listens, it’s a grower (there are supposed to be a few keyboard things here and there on the album, but we didn’t have the time)

Let me know what you think of the album with a few more listens.

That’s me in the corner…that’s me in the spot…light…

 

[Irishteen]

I will give the album a few more listens, all the songs except Tuesday were first listens, I will tell you th eones i think sound like REM, after my next listen.

If you want to get listened to change the name it sounds soooo unoriginal.

Wow. That's beyond cool.
Thank you so much for spreading the word out there for us. We're at a stage now when we could use a little pick me up!
Thank you so much!
