MUSIC | Escape The Fate
Las Vegas' post-harcore rockers Escape The Fate hit town tonight. Nothing brings a band together to pound out their best on stage like defying adversity, and this group has seen their share of challenges, and 'personnel issues'. Their self-titled album, which came out at the end of last year, featured writing collabs with John 5 (Rob Zombie), and Jay Gordon (Orgy), and did quite well with the critics, and on the charts. They are joined on the bill by Alesana, Motionless In White, Get Scared, and Drive A.
