Echobelly stood in contrast to the lad-heavy scene of Brit-pop. Sonya Madan, a vocalist who was born in India but raised in Britain, defied many of the lyrical conventions of the scene, but Echobelly's music -- a loud onslaught of guitars inspired equally by , glam, and new wave -- fit comfortably within the confines of British '90s indie. The band arrived in 1993, releasing the single "Bellyache" just as Brit-pop's wave began to rise and they remained popular throughout the mid-'90s, with their albums Everyone's Got One (1994) and On (1995) both reaching the U.K. Top 10. Echobelly continued until 2004, when the band split after the release of Gravity Pulls, but Madan and guitarist Glenn Johansson reunited the group in 2009, mounting a full comeback in 2017 with the release of Anarchy and Alchemy.
