“Method Echo has took the stage at an 8,000+ packed venue and performed like they
have been there hundreds of times before. This is a band that, once they get the break,
will fit into your labels artist line-up for many years to come.”
- Jeff Z - Program Director - 100.5 THE ZONE-KZZO
“Cold Shoulder” puts the new in new wave with a sound that
re-channels the excess of 80s rock into an ultra-modern,
totally contemporary presence that has no kitschy “retro” label stamped on it anywhere.
Not in one single place. The song is drenched in both guitar and keys work brought into
fine focus by incredibly razor production values that make everything as
sharp as a clear night starscape but with the neon muscle of a city skyline.”
- A&R Select - Los Angeles, CA

Five of the most diverse, outgoing, and talented individuals I’ve grown to meet.” - Nick Willrich - Encore Nightlife - Sacramento, CA
"Another hugely talented unsigned band. I thoroughly enjoyed this band's performance at the World Famous Whisky a Go-Go. Method Echo is radio ready with a friendly commercial pop-rock feel. Their live performance is equipped with great grooves, funky beats and solid lyrics. Incredible vocalist. Method Echo is on their way!"

We have them in regular rotation at our venue, we love them!" --Marie Scanlan, Underground Roseville, Ca. - Marie Scanlan
Method Echo is the biggest sound to come out of Sacramento since Cake! They have attracted a great following on the Zone Unsigned. A polished, fresh and funky sound that is undeniably grabbing the attention of many. These guys have a big future ahead.

Method Echo rocked Good Day Sacramento and has an open invitation back on the show! Despite the EARLY 6:30am call time, the band had energy and played two great sets. From start to finish, it was a pleasure coordinating their appearances. The band was flexible and diligent in following through with our technical people. It transformed into complete and technically-sound live performances. I wouldn't hesitate to book Method Echo again.

Bio
To put it in Facebook terms, Method Echo would be listed as “In A Relationship with Music.” United by a common goal to outdo themselves musically night after night whether on stage, in the studio, or hashing it out in rehearsal, the goal is simple: always strive to be better than you were the day before.
An edgy blend of soul, pop, rock, rooted in contemporary gospel, this diverse Sacramento quintet takes pride in the musical chemistry and personal friendships formed over eight plus years of making music together in one way or another.
“A lot of people might be surprised to learn that we met and started playing together in the church,” front man Josh Guerrero explains. “All five of us came from such different musical backgrounds. It provided a great foundation musically, and helped us to develop a sound that was unique and original.”
In a time where one cookie cutter band after another watches their five minutes of fame come and go, Guerrero, keyboardist Daniel Herrera, and the Moore brothers Chris and David on bass and drums respectively never want to stop being students of their individual musical crafts.
“I’m captivated by hearing other’s stories,” Guerrero admits. “When I’m writing lyrics I almost always end up taking a good look at what’s going on in the lives of those around me. It helps me to relate”
If at first listen, you’re not quite sure which genre Method Echo would be listed under in your iTunes folder, don’t be discouraged. “We know our sound isn’t easily defined,” Herrera explains, “but we know that when you come to a Method Echo show you’ll walk away singing the words, and tapping your feet having seen and experienced something unique.”
Incapable of conformity, and refreshingly grateful for the opportunity to live out a collective passion, Method Echo steps on stage with three goals… make you dance, make you smile, and always leave you wanting one more song.
