The Echo and the Sound is a two‐piece guitar and drums rock band based in Los Angeles, CA. Formed in 2012 as two parts of a complementary whole, fitting in nowhere else but together, these two East coast and Mid‐Atlantic country boys decided to create their own sub‐genre to live in. They call it “gothic cantina” and describe it best themselves as sounding like “if Bob Dylan and Sam Shepard got into a fist fight while drinking in a desert cantina.”
Singer‐guitarist Brian Rich and drummer Douglas Jewell slather on the menace with heavy riffs and champagne cymbals to fill every bit of auditory space, providing the soundtrack to a 21st century post‐apocalyptic nuclear warfare. It’s the sound of dark and broody rock ‘n’ roll punctuated by punk rock overtones with blues‐folk and county undertones.
Full of hip shaking, foot stomping, good old fashioned R&R making it a blistering, Tarantino‐esque collection impossible to resist, Buffalo Mouth promises to be the most graduated work of The Echo and the Sound yet.
The Echo and the Sound are now playing on TMN Radio.
