Why They're About to Pop: Escape the Fate has been through the ringer. After the success of their first album, 2006's 'Dying is Your Latest Fashion,' the Las Vegas band began to look like the subject of an episode of 'Intervention.' Their guitarist Omar Espinoza exited, while both their singer and their bassist got hooked on drugs. After two stints in rehab, ETF's frontman Ronnie Radke was arrested for battery and eventually kicked out of the band, leaving the hardcore punkers in a serious predicament. However, fate just may have been on the boys' side as bassist Max Green cleaned up his act and former Blessthefall vocalist Craig Mabbitt was looking for a new gig. Mabbitt, a friend of ETF, was a natural fit to sing on 'This War is Ours,' and now the band is right back on track. Catch Escape the Fate live on their full U.S. tour with Chiodos and Silverstein now through November.
Four Questions With Drummer Robert Ortiz:
What inspired the songs on your record?
This record was about everything that we've all individually and collectively been through for the past few years. We kept it real -- it had to be. We've been through so much s--- it's ridiculous, and to not get it out would've killed us. This is my, Max and Monte's first time working with Craig. He came into something that had already fallen apart and was in the process of being put back together. Emotionally, it was really unstable because we had just watched all our dreams and everything we worked for vanish before or eyes. So this record deals a lot with coping with all our struggles, and mainly pushing forward past them.
What's your favorite song on the record?
Its hard to choose. Every song was an amazing experience to make, even if it was a horrible one. But it's like choosing between your children. They all come from within you, and you have to put your whole life into making sure they come out right. I like them all for different reasons. I can truly say that I'm a fan of this record.
If you could have any musician's career other than your own, whose would it be?
That's hard, but the one that comes to mind first is the Rolling Stones. To have that kind of longevity is insane. It doesn't happen. People were blown away at the fact that you had been doing it for so long ... twenty years ago. It's an amazing thing.
What did you think life as a musician would be like when you first started out and how does it compare to what it's really like for you now?
Well, right now life as a musician is right on schedule of how I planned it. I'm making money, but not at the top yet. I wanted to build it up. I wanted to have those die hard fans who look for your music and whose lives are changed when they hear you, so much so that they spend all their energy on making sure everyone around them hears it. [I want] the kind of fans who choose to listen to you, not be forced to listen to you because it's pumped in your face 24/7. I didn't want to jump into the limelight and be the flavor of the week. I'm in this for the long haul, even if it meant dealing with the lowest of lows people can have. But maybe I needed those struggles to build me into a man and prove to myself that making music is worth it, no matter how s----- it gets. Now everything is moving in the right direction: up.
This War Is Ours is officially in stores. You can pick it up at Target for $9.99 (for a limited time), download it from iTunes or venture to your favorite place to pickup music.
The barnstorming opening track on Escape The Fate's hotly anticipated sophomore slab, This War Is Ours, sufficiently sums up the hard-partying and hard rocking Las Vegas band's attitude, authentically informed by real-life drama. The song is called "We Won't Back Down" and if ever there was a band who could make that claim, it's this one.
Renewed, reinvigorated and newly energized by a new lead singer and a take-no-prisoners approach to songwriting, Escape The Fate have recaptured the hunger that generated their early buzz and have taken tremendous steps toward becoming a band with longevity, like their heroes in Motley Crue or Guns N Roses, crafting a sophomore-slump defying album that is alternately their heaviest and their most melodic and full of power, passion and depth.
The two years that have passed since the controversial band released their Epitaph debut, Dying is Your Latest Fashion, was a trainwreck that threatened to destroy all of the impressive things the young outfit had accomplished.
Explains Max Green: "Our guitar player walked out in the middle of a tour, our singer went to rehab twice, then he went to jail, he got probation. Later we couldn't leave the United States, then we couldn't leave Nevada. Our singer became a drug addict, our bass player -- that's me -- became a drug addict. I got cleaned up, we kicked out our old singer, and a ray from heaven shined down on us with an amazing opportunity."
That amazing opportunity? The sudden availability of virtuoso singer Craig Mabbit, who had recently parted ways with Blessthefall. "I found myself looking for a project or to start something up. I was going to join a band by the name of A Skylight Drive," Mabbit recollects. "They gave me the number of somebody to get the recording of their new album so I could write to it. I wrote the wrong number down. Instead of calling the guy from the band, I called Escape The Fate's manager. I was like, 'Yo send me the tracks!' and he was like, 'What tracks?' We had a laugh."
Next thing he knew, Mabbit -- who had befriended Escape The Fate during Vans Warped Tour and a subsequent Escape The Fate / Blessthefall tour -- was on a plane to Las Vegas. "We discussed the idea [of my joining the band]. Both of our bands were on the rise and losing your frontman is a big deal. But we decided we play music for a reason, who cares what people think, let's make the kind of music we want to make the way we want to make it."
"[Playing music] is what Craig lives for, he's got that fire," Green beams. "He's an amazing vocalist and he goes nuts on stage. He just pumps up the volume on everything basically, he just makes everything better."
Adds Mabbit: "We thought our bands were done. We got so close to making it and breaking it, and then it all fell apart. We're all very grateful and excited that we had the opportunity again and that we got hooked up with each other."
That go-for-broke attitude caused Escape The Fate to rebuild their band around the best parts of the past together with some forward-leaning new elements. Becoming a four-piece caused all of the instrumentalists to step up their game, while Mabbit found himself outgrowing the "screamo" tag and embracing more of a full vocal range.
The band hit the studio with John Feldman (The Used, Atreyu, Good Charlotte) and made the kind of record Mabbit has been dreaming about since he was a kid looking up to his rock n' roll heroes. "Harder Than You Know," a bona fide larger-than-life spine-tingler of a ballad, is one of his favorites, while heavy breakdowns continue to inform tracks like "The Flood." "Something" is built for the radio while "10 Miles Wide" opens with a classic thrash metal attack and a shriek that would make Axl proud, backed by death-grunts and a rollicking beat that goes headfirst into an anthemic chorus sure to get fists pumping worldwide.
While they've attracted a number of fans from the Hot Topic crowd to worlds of Warped Tour and beyond, in their hearts, Escape The Fate is more of a tried and true rock n' roll band than any sort of sub-genre tag. If you want to call them anything, call them exactly that: rock music.
After a year of drama and speculation following their original singer's departure, Escape The Fate has emerged stronger than ever. With a brilliant new album and a fall tour with Chiodos and Silverstein on the calendar, the resilient quartet have proven that sometimes, fate is what you make of it.
