The Review:

Echo Revolution, a 3 piece alternative rock band from San Diego (California) combines mainstream style with a progressive flare. Their brand of music doesn’t fall under the traditional prog but rather the modern style. Similar to what Radiohead, Coldplay, Porcupine Tree and PO90 is doing.

While their music is not overly complex, they do make music with one goal, being artistic. The way it should be by adding elements of what progressive rock is truly about. To me, they push the boundaries and subsequentually could cause them to be overlooked. by the mainstream media. However, they will always have a place in the progressive world at large, especially for those who enjoy song based music.

Please check these guys out, you won’t regret it!
