What Jason says about the Echobrain sound (End of 2000):
"To me it's tomorrow music. It's real fresh, real contemporary. If
you were going to mix it up in a bowl, it'd be Chris Cornell, Jeff Buckley,
Jane's Addiction and something like Status Quo. Dylan is a great singer and
that's our weapon."
The album will be simply called 'Echobrain'. The release date has not been
announced yet.
