Take a Listen: Escape the Fate
Music

Las Vegas quintet Escape the Fate began their ascent during the love-it or hate-it screamo scene. The band's formation was propelled in part by MySpace (just like Hollywood Undead who theyre currently on tour with), which vocalist Ronnie Radke and bassist Max Green utilized while searching for new bandmembers after their previous group's demise. The guys recruited guitarist Bryan 'Monte' Money, who subsequently brought along Vegas transplant (and former Lovehatehero guitarist) Omar Espinoza. Drummer Robert Ortiz joined thereafter to complete the group. In 2005, Escape the Fate had won a local radio contest judged by My Chemical Romance. The gig awarded them the chance to open a show on the band's headlining tour with Alkaline Trio and Reggie and the Full Effect.



From there, the band was signed to Epitaph, Espinoza left the group, and Radke was ousted due to drug problems and a charge of battery (which indirectly resulted in the death of an 18-year-old boy). Pretty metal, i know. Former blessthefall vocalist Craig Mabbitt was recruited to fill the vacant frontman position, and here we are...57 million myspace streams later.
