Echosmith is an American indie pop band formed in February 2006 in Chino, California. Originally formed as a quartet of siblings, the band currently consists of Sydney, Noah, and Graham Sierota, following the departure of eldest sibling Jamie in 2016. Echosmith started first as Ready Set Go! until signing with Warner Bros. Records in May 2012. They are best known for their 2013 single "Cool Kids", which peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and received quadruple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The song was also Warner Bros. Records' fifth-biggest-selling-digital song of 2014—with 1.3 million downloads sold—and preceded the band's debut studio album, Talking Dreams (2013), which moderately entered the Billboard 200 and spawned the top 40 single "Bright".

The group grew up in a musical household playing multiple instruments throughout their childhood. The band has mentioned that numerous rock artists, including Coldplay, Echo & the Bunnymen, the Smiths, the Killers, U2, Joy Division, and Fleetwood Mac influenced them while growing up and encouraged them to make music together. Echosmith's youngest sibling, Graham, plays drums. The only female member in the group, Sydney, is co-lead vocalist for the band, often contributing on tambourine and keyboard. Noah plays bass and sings back-up vocals for the band. The oldest sibling, Jamie, was co-lead singer, and played guitar before he left the band in 2016. Graham was diagnosed with autism as a child.
