- Echobelly are a British rock band, debuting in 1994 with their album Everyone's Got One. They were often compared to Blondie and were influenced by Morrissey, who himself was a fan of the group.
The most prominent part of Echobelly's success formula was vocalist Sonya Madan, who was also the group's primary lyricist. Born in Delhi, India, before moving to England at the age of two, Madan had an unusual background for a pop star. Her rigid upbringing made rock music taboo for her as a youngster and she did not attend her first rock concert until she was in college. In 1990 she met Glenn Johansson, a guitarist from Sweden. In a radio interview with Janice Long, on BBC Radio Wales, in December 2017, she admitted that her parents had initially found it hard to accept her choice of career.

After Echobelly's second album, Keyser went on to join Dragstripper and was replaced by James Harris. Harris was soon swapped in for Ruth Owen, after their third album, when Debbie Smith also left; Smith is now a DJ on London's gay scene, and has also played in Snowpony, a supergroup containing members of My Bloody Valentine and Stereolab. When the band reformed in 2009, only Madan and Johansson performed in the band under the name 'calm of zero'. In 2015, they reformed as Echobelly with Madan on vocals, Johansson on guitar, Oliver McKiernan on bass and Ash Hall on drums.
