Escape the Fate
Other than the obvious label this band displays in their dress, hairstyle and body piercings, what stands out with Escape The Fate is energy – in the percussion from Robert Ortiz and the quality vocals shared by four band members. Songs such as “Situations” and “Friends And Alibis” from Dying Is Your Latest Fashion fit well in the goth/screamo/hardcore framework.
But “The Guillotine” really does the trick for the band’s supporters. This tune features some dynamite guitar work by Omar Espinosa and Bryan Money, while “Cellar Door” gives Escape The Fate a bit more ballad flavor and balance. Ronnie Radke fronts the group on vocals and Max Green, on bass, provides the second half of a solid foundation (with Ortize).
The group’s current tour kicked off in Florida and travelled up the east coast before moving on the Midwest (Ohio, Illinois, Missouri) and, in October, the west coast. But worldwide fans felt some disappointment when Escape The Fate cancelled its participation in the Taste Of Chaos tour. The band cited immigration and legal issues that would keep them from traveling to some of the countries on the tour schedule. Maybe the fan messages that rave about finishing fights at the concert and walking out with a bloody nose and bruised ribs have something to do with this change. One fan did write that she saw a band member’s penis during the show…maybe that’s it.
Whatever the reasons, fan numbers continue to grow.

WOW! Escape the Fate is loud Rock N’ Roll at its rawest. When I first came across the band their look reminded me of punk rock out of the 80’s, yet their sound does not. This band seems to have a more “emo” look and feel than punk rock. Though this is not my typical choice of sound, I can still appreciate Escape the Fate’s energy. This music would certainly appeal to any hard core rockers.
