[edit] Biography

Echo Orbiter formed in Philadelphia in 1995 when brothers Justin Emerle and Colin Emerle recruited Jeremiah Steffen to flesh out some of their songs. The band proceeded to perform in the area. In 1999, Echo Orbiter released an album of their demo songs, entitled A Moment in Life That's Right. 2000 saw the release of the album Laughing All the While. It was produced by Brian McTear at Miner Street Recordings in Philadelphia, and released by the Looking Glass Workshop, a record company owned and operated by Justin Emerle. Their third release, Qu'est-ce Pour Nous, was released in early 2003. The band gained recognition with their appearances on various compilations on labels such as Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records, Planting Seeds Records, Bumblebear Records, Tremolo Feedback Records, Perhaps Transparent Records, Claire Records, and Club AC30, among others. The band remains active in the Philadelphia music community. Their music has been described as modern, playful and chaotic pop.
