Echoes Down the Road

Lance, Bobby, and Erick return to talk all things "Entwined" in this heartfelt episode where many a joyful tear will be shed. You'll learn the about the song's inescapable relationship to Dio and for bonus fun - Bobby coins the term "Voltron of Music" (You're gonna need context on that one!) Oh yeah - the search continues for Tommy.

Bobby joins Erick and Lance as they dive in to the first track off of Drown the Wind. See if you can find more hidden secrets than Lance in "Nothing is But What is Not" for the West of House version of the Kobayashi Maru (spoiler alert - you probably will) and listen to Erick rant about monsters who shuffle the songs on albums.  Also Tommy goes missing.

SEASON ONE FINALE! Erick, Tommy, and Lance get together for the final time to talk about the journey thus far with Echoes Down the Road and if there will ever be a Season Two. They'll also discuss some current projects out now (The Pinecone EP), Erick's experimental solo album coming out in April 2021, and maybe even share some never before heard clips from - dare we say it? - the second West of House album! 

The boys return to talk about about Voyeuristic Symphony, the final song from Cresendo of Silence! At almost 60 tracks and including a string section, the only thing more epic than the song is the conversation about it. The stems flow aplenty for this one, including the previously unheard (and rightfully so) choral section. And that's nothing compared to the moment when Tommy finally calls Lance out...

All the guys return to the virtual studio to talk about the podcast's namesake, "Echoes Down the Road." This episode runs the gamut of emotions, bringing up the absurdity as well as the heartbreaking reality of the subject presented - the deconstruction of faith. This one is a must listen.

In this very special episode, the guys get together to talk about the song that started it all. Originally written as a one-off song for a solo project, Fallen instead opened up the songwriting floodgates and mixed together the special sauce that would become West of House. Bobby Phillipps is back as well and you don't want to miss when he goes head to head with Italy, the UK, and Brazil. Come join us - it's gonna be a long way to fall. 

Erick & Lance welcome Bobby Phillipps, the mix ninja for West of House, to the virtual studio to talk about "Turn of Phrase," one of the more intimate songs off of Crescendo of Silence. It's an interesting road for this one, filled with spoken word poetry, interpretive dance, and a little bit of romantic sorcery. 

In Episode 7, the guys talk about Holy Ghosted; a powerful song written in response to the murder of George Floyd in 2020 and the failure of the American church to step up in the wake of nationwide civil unrest.
