Echo Is Your Love

Echo Is Your Love was started in early 1998 in Helsinki by four guys and one woman. The intention was to practice as little as possible and to record almost everything that comes out. After some 7"s and the debut album (Sheets of Blank Fucking Paper 2000) the band got bored of droning the same two chords and being compared with Bardo Pond, Dead C and the likes. The band decided to start rocking. With the 2nd album (8 Hours 2002) and tours around Europe Echo Is Your Love ended up playing at punk/hardcore shows to almost 100% punk crowds which made the band's music tighter and more aggressive. On the 3rd album (Paper Cut Eye 2004) Echo Is Your Love found its own unique style of mixing hardcore aggressiveness with no-wave guitar madness, post-punk danceability with indie cuteness and pop melodies. 2006 saw the release of their 4th album Humansize with their fifth album Heart Fake released in 2010. Now in 2026 Echo is Your Love are releasing their sixth album Laundry Day which is nine songs of their unique blend of hardcore attitude with alternative rock sound. "The band sounds something like early B-52's, Yoko Ono, The Red Aunts, Shonen Knife, and Throbbing Gristle...if all parties were heavily medicated." - Baby Sue "Influenced by Sonic Youth (think Sister or Goo) and early Blonde Redhead, their lively-paced noisy-rock is driven by a twisted female voice." - Only Angels Have Wings "With their weirdly tuned guitars and the haunting voice of their female vocalist they pour on the atmospherics." - Screaming Bloody Mess
