Biography
London-based Britpop band. Founded in 1992 when vocalist [a25416] & guitarist [a496254] met in a pub, with Madan expressing an interest in singing in a band. Soon after bassist [a883941] & drummer [a563782] were drafted in, with guitarist [a274513]—formerly of [a5373]—rounding out the group in 1994. The band came up with the name from the notion of "being hungry for something". Upon releasing their debut, '[Link]', Echobelly found themselves securing a contract with label [l19751] (which at the time was part of Epic), leading to their first album, '[Link]', in June of 1994. After receiving major airplay they became a mainstay of the blossoming Britpop genre. Their sophomore record, '[Link]', gained rave reviews by fans & critics, leading it to sell twice as many as their debut, with all the singles birthed from it entering the top 30. After a major illness Madan decided to venture away from the band in 1996 after working with the House act [a24769], and Debbie Smith also left due to creative differences. Sonya returned to the fold in 1997 in time for the band's third album, '[Link]', with the singles '[Link]' & '[Link]' failing to hit the top 30. This would lead to a 4-year hiatus, which came to a close with the release of the 2001 '[Link] EP'. This was followed up by their 4th album, '[Link]', through their own label, [l124684], which featured new bassist Ruth Owen. In 2004 the band released their 5th album, '[Link]'. Following this both Owen & Henderson decided to leave the band, and the decision was made to break up. In 2009 Johansson & Madan performed an acoustic set featuring fan favourites and new demos. These demos would later become their side project [a3611500], where 2 mini-albums would be recorded and released in 2012. In 2015 Echobelly returned to the stage, performing a sold-out gig at The Scala in London. The following year they announced that a new album was in the works, which would be the 2017 release, '[Link]', featuring [Link] on bass and [Link] on drums. In 2018 the band's third compilation, '[Link]', was released.
