Back in 2014, there was a particular Indie rock band that shined in the spotlight and took the attention of the Canadian music scene. The Echo Nebraska have marked their name to Vancouver’s music culture when they released their very first recording titled “Hey Allison” which was a hit. Their music style is a playful mix of acoustic with tad bits country, folk, or any kind of American-based music style. Their first song was so impressive that CBC Music added the band’s music video to one of their best new music back in November 2014.

So how did the band get created? It started when the vocalist Devan Christodoulou met his guitarist, Andy Schichter. Devan was actually there for another reason; he was recording an album with another band. You could say that fate has its own playful way when it comes to these two fellas. Andy then invited Devan over to his house studio where they made a decent amount of music demos. The visits, although not named yet, were the start of the band formation.

The two proceeded to make more songs and ended up making a total of five songs, Hey Allison, Nice Philosophy, I’ll Get It Right, Out Of Time, and Pilgrim. They then decided to make it into an album which they called “Send The Ships”. They then recruited their Bassist Dan Ponich, Drummer Mike Lauder, and violinist Carly Frey.

The album was released in January of 2015, and it was immediately noticed. A lot of people were impressed, and they started talking about it. they’ve gotten a lot of positive comments about their album, they were even complimented by Grayowl Point and Permanent Rain Press about how good they were. From Christodoulou’s vocals to Devan’s sound engineering skills to their instrumentalist’s talents

Since then, they became one of Vancouver’s popular indie rock bands.
