** That song is not called "This is a Fight to the Death" or "Rise Again" or "Say a Prayer". It's called "Conquistador".
** You know "I'll Attack"? It's actually just called "Attack".
** "Come Break Me Down" doesn't exist, that's "The Kill". And "Bury Me" is its subtitle, but not its actual name.

** The song ''The Kill'' is very dark as well. According to Jared it's a nice little song about losing your mind - set in an old hotel.

** While ''America'' was a commercial success and well received among fans, critical reception and certain parts of the fandom loathed it for the band veering hard into late 2010s music trends. The decreased rock elements were a specific sore spot, especially with Tomo leaving the band.

** The Echelon also set out to be friendly with fans other musicians that use the [=VyRT=] service like the JonasBrothers and Ryan Beatty, although it comes from a more pragmatic place: [=VyRT=] is a new service that was launched by Mars and the Echelon want it to succeed. Therefore, they go out of their way to help answer questions about [=VyRT=] for fans of other groups who use the service. That and the Echelon being unnecessarily rude and intimidating to [[JonasBrothers Jonatics]] just because they don't like the act and/or their fans is just bad for business. This was averted with Echelon helping out Janoskianators when The Janoskians held a backstage event stream on [=VyRT=]. Unlike the last non-Mars streams, some Janoskianators wondered where all the people with Mars/Jared Leto avatars were coming from and evoked UnwantedAssistance in their reactions, despite all of the Janoskians fans being new to the platform.

* [[JustHereForGodzilla Just Here For Jared Leto]]: Attempts were made early in the band's run to avoid this as much as possible. As the band gained more mainstream credibility for being a band that could stand on their own merits, they eased off on these efforts, which included not doing shows that used Jared's fame as a major selling point. Regardless of the time, there has and always ''will'' be people mainly there because of Jared's looks. The Echelon dislike it as much as anyone else (even those who do go on about Jared's looks on a regular basis).

* FriendlyFandoms: The Echelon are unusually receptive to opening acts that open for Mars. There's significant fandom overlap between the Echelon and fans of Street Drum Corps and Neon Trees. The overlap between CobraStarship fans and the Echelon is probably less, but the good reception was enough for the band to thank the Echelon in the liner notes of their second album, ¡Viva la Cobra!
