The Echo And The Sound are a blues-punk duo that sound like a desert cantina house band forced to play in order to pay off their tequila tab. But actually, the two guys (guitarist/vocalist Brian Rich and drummer Douglas Jewell) bombard their music with unapologetic grit at local dive venues around Echo Park. Their self-titled debut EP was released earlier this year and recorded on analog by Mark Rains at Station House Studio. - Free Bike Valet

Here’s something you wont hear many music journalists say…everything that’s to be said about The Echo and The Sound has been said before.
Boom! There it is…out the barrel folks. But you know what? It’s not even about that. It’s about getting this LA duos music out there for the world to see…or at least those of you who read this.
Citing influences such as Flat Duo Jets and The White Stripes, it’s easy to see why these ballsy, no-holds barred rockers are giving it stacks. Through the 6 tracks on their debut self-titled EP they’re giving more than enough proof that they have what it takes to shift a room full of hard-drinkin’, no bullshit dudes and dudettes.
The last track on the EP – Grave Act – a truly grim affair of gritty guitars and slow, weathered vocals – keeps the listener peeled until the very end. If nothing else, a warning…don’t get too close, or this pair’s razor sharp sound will cut you in ways you never knew existed.
Best described in their bio as having the sound to match a fist fight between Bob Dylan and Sam Shepard, The Echo and The Sound provide the soundtrack to a 21st century post-apocalypse – nuclear warfare in sound form for sure.
Check out their EP here…you won’t be disappointed! - Luke Bartlett @twowayradio
Do you hear that? Its the sound of dark and broody rock and roll. The Echo and The Sound’s six-track EP is full of hip shaking, foot stomping, good old fashioned R & R. It’s a dark, Tarantino-esque collection that is impossible to resist. Try. You’ll get pinned to the ground before you try to block out the sound waves. Time to give in to the gothy calls of The Echo and The Sound. - LeahLovecat @Dingusonmusic

Bio
from the dirt,
The Echo and The Sound is a two piece, guitar and drums band based in Los Angeles, Ca. Formed in late 2012; Brian Rich (guitar/vocals) and Douglas Jewell (drums) made it very clear, "you can't kill us unless we quit".
Punk rock overtones, blues-folk undertones, country-esque and gothic cantina styled.
Sounds like, "if Bob Dylan and Sam Shepard got into a fist fight while drinking in a desert cantina"
