2008 ECHOHIGHLIGHTS:
The 2007 Release Of "NOW HEAR THIS" Having Stimulated A New Interest In 2005's "LISTEN UP... IT'S THE ECHOES," Famed Music Critic ROBERT BARRY FRANCOS Wrote The Following REVIEW For The Spring 2008 Edition Of JERSEY BEAT:
"Kentucky-bred and New York based, THE ECHOES are a twosome who
have released "LISTEN UP... IT'S THE ECHOES," which is available at
theechoesofficalwebsite.com. They sing in a folk style reminiscent of Ian
& Sylvia, and give us all original tunes written by Mark Alexander, though
most of the lead singing is (wisely) handled by Teresa Starr. The songs
are full of love and tenderness, with Starr's high voice and Alexander's
supporting guitar and voice (he does sing a lead here and there). This is
definitely an easy listen on many levels, including a joyful melody line
and a to-the-point lyrics structure ("I met you just the other day/You
made it in my dreams that night" are the CD's opening lines, from "IF I DO"). This is the folk equivalent of lite jazz, and I don't mean that as
an insult; it's a style that is very listener friendly. Like cocoa and a
blanket on a chilly evening." -- Robert Barry Francos, JERSEY BEAT, Quiet Corner
THE ECHOES Would Like To Thank ROBERT BARRY FRANCOS & JERSEY BEAT For Their Support !!!

2006 ECHOHIGHLIGHTS:
Rock Journalist JOE VIGLIONE--Aware Of The Problems Many Internet Sites Present With Established Acts' Names & Trademarks Being Infringed Upon--Wrote The Following REVIEW For Inclusion In The ALL MEDIA GUIDE / AllMusic.com:
"There are a plethora of bands named THE ECHOES out there, with this Echoes displaying the songwriting of Mark Alexander and voice of Teresa Starr. Like a new wave Paul & Paula their minimalist approach is reminiscent of '60s music, not as primitive as Dorothy Wiggin and her sisters' group the Shaggs, but more like the Aquatones with treble guitar and a voice searching the stars up above. There are 15 songs on the group's first full-length CD, "LISTEN UP... IT'S THE ECHOES," the follow-up to the limited edition "THE ECHOES SOUND OFF," and they all have a charming appeal all their own. "WASTING OUR LIVES" has the naive and pretty guitar on a quest for a tuning it likes while Alexander and Starr blend their harmonies over the simple chord changes. There's little information on where and how this music was recorded, the 12-page booklet containing only lyrics and song titles/writing credits. Everything is credited to THE ECHOES, which means whoever the duo perform with democratically share the credit. Alexander handles guitar, harmonica, some keyboards and occasional bass while main vocalist Starr adds some percussion. Their heartfelt approach can't be denied, "CROSS BETWEEN THE TWO" a perfect love song for college radio. "WHEN THE LOVE" has Alexander experimenting with his guitar sounds while Starr keeps her pop sensibilities about her, and the music she's singing. They are seriously adventurous and know how to find a groove. In a world of high-end explosions and music with nothing to say, these new Echoes communicate their feelings well over a stripped down framework that Nuggets fans will eat up." -- Joe Viglione, ALL MEDIA GUIDE, allmusic.com
THE ECHOES Would Like To Thank JOE VIGLIONE For His Favorable REVIEW & All Of The Many ECHOFANS & Friends For Their Support !!!
