History The band was first formed between Joseph Demirjian, Peter Cortes, and Billy Shank who had played in a punk rock band previously for many years prior to forming Her Name Echoes in 2015. The lineup was completed after they added Qusai Asaad and Ryan Kemmer to the initial lineup. All of the members had met as undergraduate students at the University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ except for Ryan who was a student as Arizona State University (ASU).
The band first released their single "Innocence" shortly followed by their single "Flatline" before they had released their album titled, Cyclic after teaming up with producer Evan Mckeever (Nine Shrines, Ex-Downplay)..[1][2] The album was heavily inspired by the movie, Shutter Island. The band's first music video for "Flatline" was directed by Jacob Reynolds,[3] which gained the band popularity among local rock radio station KFMA and led to supporting several sponsored concerts in the Tucson area.[4][5]
Although the band did release music videos for "On Your Own" in support of their album Cyclic, members Joseph Demirjian and Billy Shank had begun medical school training to become physicians. In July 2024, both Joseph Demirjian and Billy Shank completed their residency training in emergency medicine at different hospitals and continue to work as full-time emergency medicine physicians.[6][7] Despite this, the band continued to create and release music. The band released "Save Me" on Mar 26, 2021 with a lyric video as the first single to represent their forthcoming album titled Afflicted which was shortly followed by the release of "Gravity" on Apr 23, 2021 which also secured a spot of Spotify's editorial playlist titled New Metal Tracks.[8][9] They also released their single for "Draw the Line" on August 27, 2021 that was led into a music video for "All the Same" that released on May 13, 2022.[10]
