This alt-pop band is based out of Los Angeles, California. They have had a breakout 2014 with the success of their debut album Talking Dreams, and hit single "Cool Kids". Echosmith has been named to MTV's "Artist to Watch", and VH1's "You Oughta Know" Artist for the year. "Cool Kids" continues to explode on the charts. It is in the top 5 at Hot AC, the top 10 in the Top 40, and top 10 of the iTunes single chart. They have recently been on Conan, The Today Show, and Ellen. The siblings, Jamie (vocals/guitar), Sydney (vocals/keyboard), Noah (vocals/bass), and Graham (drums) - have created a distinctive melody-minded, New-Wave influenced sound that has given them great reviews. Rolling Stone enjoys their "teenage daydreams inspired by new wave agnst and California sunshine," ELLE.com says that "Cool Kids" is an "ageless anthem," while Esquire claims, "Rest assured, this is a group you're going to be hearing about for a long time."
