    Artist description
    “Little Breakdown is a hit waiting to happen.” ...This is how the headline read in the Cincinnati Enquirer music section. Minnesota Music said, “If Echo Park continues producing albums like 'Little Breakdown,' it won't be long before we see them in the national scene.” And CityBeat Magazine described ECHO PARK’s CD by saying, “...Practically any song on this album could slide easily into any commercial radio station’s rotation.” Recently, ECHO PARK headlined a showcase at the Midpoint Music Conference while touring in support of their new CD, “Little Breakdown,” now available nationally. With great melodies and catchy lyrics, their new material continues to combine their alternative rock energy with vocals often compared to Paul Westerburg to create a new sound that is perfect for radio.

    Artist History
    “You Are,” from “The Machine,” received airplay on over 50 AAA format R&R and Album Network reporting stations across the country. Totally Adult, a Clearchannel publication described “You Are” as “a full-on pop assault” and “tasty, good clean fun.” It was one of three viable hit-singles picked by a handful of major market CHR Program Directors in a pre-release listening session. Recently, their single, ”The Drinking Song,” has been in the TOP 400 songs downloaded at Amazon.com out of well over 11,000 and 4 others are top 2000. Every publication from mainstream to underground has underscored ECHO PARK’s talent and potential supported by their tireless work ethic. This is also an accurate description of their high-energy and thoroughly entertaining live show. The band has built a following from New York to Minnesota and has played for thousands of people in showcases, clubs and outdoor festivals. Their last CD, “Saturn Return,” has received airplay on both college and commercial radio stations, and like “The Machine,” is carried nationally by Best Buy, all Musicland stores - Sam Goody, Media Play and On-Cue, as well as online at Amazon.com and CD NOW. At a recent homecoming in Cincinnati they performed The National Anthem at a sold out Cleveland Indians vs. Cincinnati Reds baseball game, played at KISS107 FM’s Mainstreet Event with Uncle Kracker and Carson Daly, worked as celebrity bartenders at BW3's and appeared at a local mall to sign autographs which lasted over an hour.

    Press Reviews
    Echo Park: Little Breakdown This CD was well worth listening to. 'Little Breakdown' offers strong vocals as well as strong music throughout and is a great representation of the band's talents. From the almost contagious beat of songs like 'I Will' to the catchy lyrics of songs like 'Booty Call' and 'Little Breakdown', this album is sure to please any rock music fan. If Echo Park continues producing albums like 'Little Breakdown', it won't be long before we see them in the national scene. Minnesota Music "This is the kind of thing that college radio loves to jump on because they know that the rest of the world will be following suit soon enough. It's an obvious hit album." - Dave Goff, Indiego Music Center
