Forty Foot Echo is a Canadian rock band formed in 2001 by lead singer and songwriter Murray Yates.
Troubles with the label led them to part ways in 2004, though Yates persevered, assembling a new band and releasing a follow-up album Aftershock in 2006.
Forty Foot Echo's origin's trace back to the breakup of lead singer Murray Yates's prior band, Templar, which broke up in November 2001.
[11] Despite the loss of another record label, Yates decided to push forward with the Forty Foot Echo, albeit without any of the original members returning.
[12] With failing to leave a mark with their second release, the band entered an extended hiatus until 2012,[11] when Yates decided to re-release Aftershock with a revised track list featuring four substitute songs, and a completely re-recorded version of "Brand New Day".
