Band Interview: Dead Echoes

Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life are pleased to bring you an interview with hard rock/metal band, Dead Echoes.

1. How did you get started as a band?

It started with Matt writing material during a bad time in his life and wanting to turn it into a full
album. He did a music post looking for a vocalist and Bryan send him some awesome demos. There was just something special about Bryan’s vocal style that made Matt want him to be the voice of his story. This is how the first album “Twin Flames” was brought to life.

2. How would you describe your sound?

The sound is a blend of modern hard rock and metal… with little bits of other genres sprinkled in.

3. What bands/artists would you say have influenced your style of music?

Definitely bands from the 90s grunge era like Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. Tool and Godsmack for sure. It’s really the music that we grew up listening to that got us to where we are now.

4. Has the rise of YouTube & music streaming helped or hindered you as a band?

Well, we never really had a chance to experience how things were before this so it’s hard to make a comparison. It’s definitely easier in some respects for anyone to make music and get it out there without the help of a record label. What makes it harder is that now you are trying to be heard against more other artists than there have ever been before.

5. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not making music?

Spending time with the family, finding new music to listen to, buying music gear, watching movies, and t-shirt design.

6. What are your future plans musically? Tours?

Right now we are just going to focus on releasing this album and we will see what happens next. We do have a handful of new tracks for a new album that we are working on so stay tuned for that. As far as shows go we are not really sure as the pandemic has made it a little harder to play shows in our area.
