ALTERNATIVE ROCK BAND ECHO 2 LOCATE have recently released their full-length album Misery & Fools Among the Best of Us – available now on all stream/download platforms. Four of the single/videos from this album connect a story that is a solid work of rock told in a very relatable story. These four single/videos that were released along the way threads themselves and completes a woven story through Echo 2 Locate’s signature style. “CLEAR”, “64”, “Anathema”, and “OXY” are the four songs that complete the circle; each telling a section and bringing the accumulative message together through Echo 2 Locates music.
The story line starts with the song “CLEAR”, which is the deepest into the rabbit hole of our own demons. It’s the false truth people believe in about themselves that takes over. It represents us at our lowest. We then go into the song “64”, which represents the unknown about our environment. It talks about the vulnerability of ourselves when we are at this low point. We allow our environment to influence us without us even realizing it and that’s when “Anathema” comes into play. Our song “Anathema” is the realization. It’s our wish that we could go back and fix everything we couldn’t see so we don’t end up exactly where we are. It’s dealing with self-acceptance and how we’ve allowed ourselves to get to a point we didn’t realize we would. This is where “Oxy” decides to change the nature of the course of our own minds. It’s the ultimate acceptance of yourself and others, and calling out the culture of hypocrites. The ultimate choice to allow yourself to be yourself without restrictions from another person’s point of view of “you”. It’s something we want to change in this world and the only way to change it on a mass scale is to recognize it and change it within ourselves.” – Echo 2 Locate
