AllMusic[1]

On was the second album from English rock band Echobelly. Gaining a favourable response from critics[2] the album reached number 4 in the UK Albums Chart. On 21 July 2014, a 2CD expanded edition of the album was released with B-sides and previously unreleased live performances. [3]

Album title

The album title was inspired by a poster found by Glen and Sonya. The poster had the word "no" across it in blood red. By turning the word around, it because a positive, and thus decided to title the album On. [4]
