Here's the long-awaited project from these two longtime friends and bandmates Guy Ritter and Gary Lenaire. As Echo Hollow, they haven't strayed too far from the tastes they did explore in Tourniquet. In fact, pieces of the title track lend several sound/rhythm comparisons to the earlier days. And besides, there are those distinctive vocals that scream of the mens' earlier work. I guess it's sort of like when Les Carlsen did vocals for Tourniquet; there was no mistaking in the minds of longtime fans which band exactly that singer was in. What results nowadays, though, is a guitar-heavy mixture of modern rock and metal. Everything's very tight and well-played, but jumps clear of the traps that could label the band dated.
