"We are so sad to say that our close friend and brilliant drummer Peter Hayes passed away on Thursday morning at the age of 25. I can’t believe I’m actually typing these words, we’re all completely devastated and shocked. (...) If you ever saw us play live then you’ll know what a great drummer he was.
I’ve been in 4 different bands over the past 10 years and while the line ups changed around us, me and Pete were always playing together. It was such a privilege to play music with him."

Sadly, Echo Lake was forced to say goodbye to Pete, just a couple of days before the release of their full-length debut album 'Wild Peace', which hit the streets today.
