About Us

George Cockroft, Mike Chapman, Rowan Minnis and Arran McDougle.

Echoviolet is an alt-rock / post-grunge band from Yorkshire, UK, blending heavy melodic guitars, raw emotion, and a punch of punk energy. Originally formed in 2019, the band re-emerged in 2026 with a brand-new lineup and a sharper, more defined sound. Fronted by Rowan Minnis (vocals/guitar), the new four-piece features Arran McDougle on drums, Mike Chapman on guitar, and George Cockroft on bass - a lineup built for tight, high-energy live shows and big, hook-driven choruses. Echoviolet's music pulls from the grit of post-grunge, the urgency of punk, and the atmosphere of modern alt-rock, creating a sound that's both nostalgic and forward-leaning. The band has spent 2026 crafting a powerful new live set and writing an album's worth of fresh material that captures this new era. With new music and shows on the horizon, Echoviolet is stepping into their strongest chapter yet.
