Forty Foot Echo is a five-man rock band from Canada, who released their self-titled debut album in 2003. Despite some speculation, the band is still together and seem to keep their MySpace page running, despite not having much to do with their now defunct Hollywood Records site, most likely due to their departure from the label.

[edit] History
Murray Yates, formerly of the band Templar, is the band's lead vocals, with Ryan Chamberlain as rhythm guitarist, Justin Hinteregger as bassist, Dayvid Swart on the drums and Shaun McDowell playing lead guitar.
Shortly after the conclusion of their first tour, a complicated series of events caused the band to become estranged from Hollywood Records, which eventually led to a different line-up for their second album. Only Murray Yates remained on board, and was the one who reformed the band with the help of Shaun McDowell.
"Brand New Day", the band's most successful song from their debut album, was featured on the soundtrack of the 2003 version of Freaky Friday. They released their second album (titled "Aftershock") in late 2006, on their new record label, Echoman Music. Currently, there is no date specified for a U.S. release. The song "Closer" was the first single off the album, which was released across Canada on September 6, 2006. The video for the single was completed shortly afterwards, and began airing on MuchMusic at the start of October of the same year.
Murray Yates is also a member of a side project band, Caught Crimson, along with former Forty Foot Echo member Rob Kurzretier.
