When you think of today’s top hardcore rock bands, Escape the Fate quickly springs into mind. With three top selling music albums under their name, they have taken the world of post-hardcore and punk music by storm. Slowly but surely they have been gaining more fans as their brand of music continously spread. As a sign of this, even skeleton gloves has increased in fame recently because of the band.

What is a post-hardcore music or band you might ask? It is actually a music genre that is based on the original hardcore punk and the punk rock music. Post-hardcore therefore refers to all the bands that emerged from the influence of the hardcore music scene. While hardcore is their inspiration, their music is actually closer to that of experimental rock.

In 2004, Escape the Fate was formed in Nevada composing of the these original members: Bryan Monte Money as their lead guitarist, Ronnie Radke on lead vocals, on rhythm guitar they had Omar Espinosa, Robert Ortiz in drums, and on base guitar was Max Green.

They also went through a couple of band member changes, perhaps only typical with any other popular rock bands. As some might have said, it was a serious of unfortunate events that tainted the band’s history but also brought forth some pleasant changes.

For example, Ronnie Radke was sentenced into prison prompting his departure from the band. He was immediately replaced by Craig Mabbitt.

And just as Escape the Fate was starting to gain some grounds, their then keyboardist Carson Allen left to join the band, On The Last Day.

Omar Espinosa also left the band in 2007 due to unspecified personal reasons.

Needless to say, it is but a common phenomenon that we see in most bands of this stature to see its members come and go through the years. However, Escape the Fate is a fairly new band and yet they have already gone through such major band member changes. One of the problems they dealt with was the drug addiction of some of their members. Through rehabilitation they were able to get through it.

Still all of these problems did not hinder them from gaining such popularity. It was mainly due to the success of their three albums to date: This War is Ours, Dying is Your Latest Fashion, and There’s No Sympathy for the Dead.

As to their first album, the ‘This War is Ours’, the band members claimed that one of their tracks, “We Won’t Back Down” shows the world the kind of wild party animals that they are. Perhpas it just goes to show what a hard rocker’s life can truly be as often portrayed in their music videos.

A couple of years later, the album ‘Dying is Your Latest Fashion’ was released. Personally it was a breakthrough for the band because they were able to come up with that album although they were experiencing some problems of their own. One of which was the departure of their lead vocalist, Ronnie Radke.

Now Escape the Fate continues on its moving forward into the pantheon of the rock music legend. They have stood the test of time, and even the test that they themselves have brought to their band. But they live on and will continue to create great rock music for all.
