This Was Our Fault

A band of foreigners formed in the great South Pacific melting pot of Auckland, Echo Children write songs about life, love, and the end of the world. With the focus on vocal melodies, their layers of haunting harmonies build on resonating electric guitar and driving percussion to create a gritty, alternative, indie-folk sound.

Echo Children performed their first show in Auckland in late 2015 and released their first single, 'Turn to Stone' in April 2016. After honing their sound and establishing themselves on the live scene, they now present their first EP.

The four-piece, comprising Oliver Young (vocals and guitar) from Scotland, Amanda Larsson (bass and vocals), of Sweden, Daniel Armstrong (vocals and guitar), from the UK, and Niamh O'Flynn (percussion and vocals), from Canada, have created a sound which fuses the lyrical songwriting of the likes of Springsteen and Ryan Adams with the spine chilling harmonies of Fleetwood Mac.
