(New York, NY) Pop/rock band Echo Black has just released their full-length album entitled DAWN after much anticipation from fans who helped fun the project on Indiegogo. The band met and exceeded their goal on their campaign, raising over $13,000. This summer, Echo Black released the title track and corresponding music video via AXS. The four-piece teamed up with Walter Dicristina and Axel Otero to record the song and recruited Chris Newhard (Sia, Jessie J, Train) to bring the track to life. Fans can stream the album in full over on Dark Beauty Magazine now, here:

All of Echo Black's makeup is sponsored by MAC Cosmetics. Danny Blu was also featured in Huffington Post Queer Voices along with a B-side track dedicated to his boyfriend (founder of Material Memorie). The band may seem like they came out of thin air but have been working tirelessly since they rose to fame after launching their breakout track "Perfect" featuring Telle Smith from The Word Alive. "Perfect" initially premiered on Alternative Press and the band later unveiled the official video on Fuse. The band's follow up music video for "Chemicals" was launched via Billboard. The track was produced by Matt Squire (One Direction, Kesha, Ariana Grande) as well as Andros Rodriguez (Shakira, Justin Timberlake) and also directed by Chris Newhard.
New York City-based pop/rock foursome Echo Black is comprised of members whose musical inspirations range from basement punk to Frank Sinatra, and everything in between. The boys credit their unique, catchy, pop-flavored sound to their writing process; echoing one idea off another and, bouncing components around until the song begins to speak to them. Danny Blu (vocalist) and Billy Long (drums, keys) have roots that go back as far as the high school marching band. They picked up Felix Skiver (guitar, vocals) and Rob Gnarly (bass, vocals) along the way and have been inseparable since. As if their blood-pumping music wasn't enough, their live show is something you have to see to understand. Nothing short of an electrical storm of energy, Echo Black is not an act to be missed.
