In fact, they’ve known each other their whole lives.

“Music is just what we want to do forever, and we love being in a band with each other,” explains singer/guitarist Jamie Sierota. “It’s one the most natural ways for us to do music, so we want to stick with doing the band and touring and making records—working together for a long, long time.”

The four siblings—Jamie (20), Sydney (16, vocals/keyboard), Noah (17, vocals/bass) and Graham (14, drums)—have been playing together as a band for several years,honing in on their sound and perfecting their collaborative song-writing process.

“There’s definitely a lot of factors to balance in this life,” adds Sydney. “Finding the balance of family and being in a band. But this is what we want to do.”

“Musically,”adds Jamie, “we all vibe really well, and as a band, the chemistry’s already there.”

With balance and chemistry in check, the alt-pop group has time to focus on crafting their songs and preparing their energetic, fan-focused live performances. The band is currently in the studio working on their debut album with producer Mike Elizondo (Tegan And Sara, Gary Clark Jr., Maroon 5), who signed them to Warner Bros. with WBR chairman (and famed fellow producer) Rob Cavallo. And while Echosmith have only been playing together as a band for about four years, they grew up in a musical house, sharing a love for playing instruments and listening to bands as varied as Coldplay, The Smiths, U2, Joy Division and Fleetwood Mac.

Now that Echosmith have refined that sound into what can be described as alt-pop influenced by a lot of early-’80s new wave, they have big plans to share that sound with new fans. Aside from a seven-date run with Owl City this winter,Echosmith will also be playing the first half of this summer’s Warped Tour—a rite of passage for many young bands.

“We were super excited when we found out about [Warped Tour],” Jamie says. “So many bands grow from that and just come out of that with tons of fans. We’ll brave the heat and it will be a really fun opportunity.”

In the meantime, Echosmith will continue to write and record songs for their upcoming debut album. Fans can get a taste of what to expect with “Come Together,” which is currently streaming on the band’s site, an upbeat song that speaks volumes not only of the band’s musical chops but also their attitude about the future trajectory of Echosmith.

“‘Come Together’ kind of says it all in the title,” Jamie explains. “The song’s really about coming together when a group of people—especially young people—are getting looked down upon and stuff like that.We can still do things and we can still matter and make a difference.”
