What does Cypress Hill, Fleetwood Mac, Snoop Dogg, Marilyn Manson, the San Fernando Valley heat and a freezing cottage in Cork have in common? ...ECHOGRAM_ ...the Irish 4-piece, have gone to extremes recently…
The story of their debut album began at Cypress Hill’s Temple Studios, what was once Fleetwood Mac’s legendary Cornerstone Studios, with Snoop Dogg’s crew hollering their approval from the control room and ends back in rural Ireland in the cottage / studio owned by producer Ciaran O’Shea (ex-Cyclefly). From the blistering heat of ‘the Valley’ in Los Angeles to the coldest winter Ireland has experienced in 50 years, the finished album tracks were sent back to Sean Beavan (Marilyn Manson, NIN, No Doubt) to mix at his Hollywood Hills studio while Marilyn Manson’s contorted portrait of Sean’s dog presided over the process.
This trans-Atlantic journey created an album with a very international feel. The EchoGram sound has been described as both “rock with a digital sheen” and “dark pop music”; big guitars, big drums and soaring vocals across a backdrop of electronica.
Fans include Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Robert Smith, Alan Moulder and James Brown (Placebo, NIN, Foo Fighters, Jane’s Addiction) to name a few.
Between 2007 and the present, EchoGram have had extensive airplay making them one of the most played unsigned acts on Irish radio. Debut single ‘Conspiracy’ (mixed by Adrian Bushby – Band of Skulls, Muse, Depeche Mode) spent 8 weeks in the airplay Top 10 on Dublin’s Phantom FM (equivalent to Xfm), while going straight in at No.1 on downloadmusic.ie.
The film and TV world is discovering the EchoGram sound… with songs featured on the MySpace online drama “FREAK”, and recent licensing deals with the MTV and E! Networks to include tracks on their TV shows.
As a live act, EchoGram are one of the most exciting, energy fraught outfits in the country. Lead singer and songwriter Kilian Pettit has already proved himself a very charismatic frontman, capable of commanding an audience anywhere they play. They made their debut LA appearance at the Viper Room last November to rave reviews, as well as an interview and acoustic session by Kilian for Fox TV and an exclusive interview for LA online music blog, Metrogum. Recently the band played a storming set at the Indiependence festival in Ireland alongside White Lies and Duke Special, plus two special hometown shows in Cork City.
The rest of 2010 is action packed with a show just played at the Camden Underworld and upcoming gig at the 229 Venue in central London on the 12th November to coincide with the Worldwide digital release of their debut single, “Walk In The Sun”, on the 6th December (including the killer dancefloor remix by renowned American hip-hop / electro funkster Kurtis Mantronik). Plans also include a return to the US for West Coast dates starting in LA on 30th November.

The Debut single, Walk In the Sun, has just gone to radio in the UK and will be released digitally worldwide on 6th December (7th in N.America). Walk In The Sun is the first track to be taken from their as yet untitled debut album (due out Spring 2011). Produced by Ciaran O’Shea (ex. Cyclefly) and mixed by Sean Beavan (Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, No Doubt) in Cork and Los Angeles. The track is remixed by Kurtis Mantronik and has been a hit in the dance charts and on the dance floors. Upfront radio support from Ian Camfield / London Xfm rock show and Dan Hegarty 2fm, quoted as saying, “You could say that EchoGram are gothic pop, but it would only tell you part of their story. The County Cork act have an arsenal of tunes, and bridge the gaps between Nine Inch Nails’ playful side, Muse, and past masters Mother Love Bone.” Remix support from Checkpoint Charlie (LA), Mark Doyle, StoneBridge, Christian Homan, Sharp Boys, Jason Herd, TV Rock, Antony Angell (Stereo Sushi) and Eddy Temple-Morris (Xfm, The Remix).
