Welsh band The Echo and The Always (formerly Sleepy Panda Club) have certainly broken the typical mould of a band that are multi-genre and have a woman as their lead singer (queue many conversations about 'feminism'), and are taking over the radio waves and media, as their music has been played on the likes of BBC Radio 1 and they've played Focus Wales every year since 2012. Since the release of their debut EP Lemonade in 2013 and recent single release 'Go Easy', their album has been in high demand.
