Description
When Paul Duncan (vocals, guitar, piano) and Miles (guitar) met in Hermosa Beach, California in the summer of 1998, it had nothing to do with music. They were just two transplanted southerners (who happened to both be musicians) meeting at a mutual friends house, watching the World Cup. But a simple conversation about the Beatles uncovered common ground between them, and a brotherhood began on that day. Over time, the relationship grew, stretching across years of both personal triumph and crippling loss. Friends have a way of becoming players in one anothers life stories, and Paul and Miles stories found their way into the fabric of song. Out of this friendship, The Echo Division was formed.

The long nights in the rehearsal room, on stage, and in the studio have yielded an album Under California Stars. Its 12 tracks of windows-down rock and roll from the heart and for the heart. Its the sound of four guys playing the story of their lives, and, just maybe, the story of yours
