AEchos is a Hip Hop group focused on not sticking to any formulas and also bringing a new sound that is universal in its message.
Why this name?
Aechos is a greek work meaning "without sound." Taking a greek name was a tribute to the group members' history as brothers of a social fraternity, and also for its applicable meaning to their view on music.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows artists to reach listeners that they otherwise would never have the chance to connect with.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, but only without compromising talent for record sales.
Band History:
Aechos [ek-ohs] noun: a greek word meaning "without sound".

Aechos has a unique sound that is tailored to true lovers of hip hop culture. Both group members reside in the Tri-State Area, giving them a heavy East Coast appeal.

Aechos has an influence that reaches fans and followers of hip hop, not only in regards to the emcee, but to all other aspects of the hip hop culture as well.
Aechos member "Mac", is a 23 yr old Jersey City native, who attributes his hip hop roots to his mother, who had always been a fan of hip hop, exposing him to the culture at an early age, and giving him a good frame of reference for future endeavors. Besides rapping, Mac has also expressed himself through DJ'ing, working several venues in the Philadelphia area under the alias DJ Static. Other nicknames include: G Mac & Static.
VPsi, 26, is the son of Hmong immigrants and has been on the East Coast since he was 4 years old. His approach to music is influenced not only by Hip Hop but a variety of other genres as well.

Aechos incorporates poetry and socially conscious lyrics over soulful and east-coast beats in their mission to "push the envelope" and pay tribute to the humble roots of Hip Hop culture.
