These days, Echobelly are just Sonya Madan and Glenn Johansson, but when they were at their height of their game, they were a full-fledge band with Debbie Smith (ex-Curve), Alex Keyser and Andy Henderson.

I own pretty much all their releases, and it’s pretty hard to pick just one song to represent them (so perhaps we can re-visit them later). My favorite song of all time is “Insomniac”, but I’m going to go obscure and pick a B-Side or something. Maybe you will enjoy “Bunty”, which looks like it was recorded in a hotel room while on tour.

My favorite line is:

When I got there in the end
I caught you snogging with my friend
If she’s pretty, if she’s not
I saw you first, you broke my heart
And life’s not fair and it’s so cruel
‘Cause you said I could be with you.

Two new songs, “To the End” and “Leviathan (demo)”, are available exclusively on Myspace
