Guitarist Mark Brandon, bassist Owain North and vocalist Paul Usher met at an early age and played together in various lineups, however became serious about a career as a band following the recruitment of drummer Andrew Grant.
Echelon moved into 2005 touring consistently and recording the follow-up to "Plus" and filming the corresponding video.
After an appearance at Glastonbury the delayed follow up single "Windows Shut" / "This Room" (a double A-Side) was released on 17 October.
Although appreciated by Radio One DJ Zane Lowe the single failed to match the airplay of the debut, reaching number 12 in the UK Indie Chart.
Echelon finished in 2006, briefly reforming as Mixed Business[2] before Usher, Grant, and Brandon formed a new band called Magistrates.
