Echobelly, considered by many as one of the major players in the British BritPop scene, are touring the U.K. Winter 2024.

Having a career spanning nearly 30 years and having released seven albums, the band have just recorded their latest studio album with producer Danton Supple (Who has worked with such musical icons as Coldplay, Morrissey, Dave Gahan and Patti Smith to name a few).

Echobelly kicked off their career in 1993 with their first EP Bellyache. The favourable response including gushing press reviews and sold out gigs ensured the securing of a recording contract with Sony via their subsidiary, Rhythm King. Their first single from their debut album E.G.O, was Insomniac and the album reached number 8 in the UK Album charts.

By the time they released their 2nd album ”ON” in 1995, they were rising up the ranks of the British music scene, with regular press, tv and radio and two world tours under their belt. The album celebrated the endless possibilities of the human spirit. In “Great Things”, Madan sang “I want to do great things/I don’t want to compromise/I want to know what love is/I want to know everything.” The album’s optimistic sound and feel provided an intriguing contrast with its witty and acerbic lyrics, many songs are now considered as classics of their era and are still regularly played on radio around the world.
