Band To Hit The Stage at Sunset Strip Music Festival, Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival & UK Tour

LOS ANGELES, CA – August 19th, 2011 -  DGC/Interscope Records band Escape The Fate welcomes back bassist Max Green into the band’s touring fold along with new guitarist Kevin Thrasher, substituting for Monte Money, who has decided to step away from life on the road for now.  The two join singer Craig Mabbitt and drummer Robert Ortiz to fill out the group.

Green, who took the first half of 2011 to get healthy and recover from addiction says, “I’m feeling great and am glad to be back with my band.  Escape The Fate is my life.  This is where I belong.”   Thrasher, who previously toured for years with Love Hate Hero, is excited to hit the road Escape The Fate.  Although Money will still be a creative force in the band, Thrasher has taken over lead guitar touring duties.  Known for his shredding, powerful playing, he is an enthralling addition.

Escape The Fate kicks off their new touring lineup on Saturday, August  20th in LA on the Sunset Strip Music Festival’s mainstage alongside rock legends Mötley Crüe, then will ignite stages across North America on the mainstage of the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival with Avenged Sevenfold before heading to the U.K. with Funeral For A Friend on October 23rd.

Escape The Fate was nominated for the “Best Album” Kerrang! Award 2011 for their self-titled album that debuted at #4 on the Billboard Rock album chart, #3 on the BillboardAlternative chart and #1 on the Billboard Tastemakers chart. Revolver proclaimed, “Escape The Fate made an album that treads the tightrope between good times and introspection, between rollicking rock, raging post-hardcore, and tender balladry,“ and Outburn declared “the band’s new album is a compelling modern day masterpiece.”

'“I first heard ‘Shout at the Devil’ in sixth grade. My stepdad was a teacher and had grounded me. Sitting in his office, I was going through his drawers, and under a bunch of papers there was Mötley Crüe, Decade of Decadence. I thought it looked rad so I threw the CD in, and ‘Shout at the Devil’ was the first track I flipped to because of the name. And that’s where it all went wrong! That song inspired me to start the movement that is Escape the Fate.”'

“Being a rock star got lost,” said Craig Mabbitt, the singer of the post-hard-core band Escape the Fate, which recently performed at Crazy Girls for the release of its new self-titled album for Interscope. “When I was young I had a speech impediment and bad asthma. But then I'd watch MTV and see four dudes playing and girls going crazy and they're all smiles and I was like, ‘Why can't I have that?'”

Escape The Fate is singer Craig Mabbitt, bassist Max Green, guitarist Monte Money and drummer Robert Ortiz. The Las Vegas quartet’s third album, Escape The Fate, was produced by Don Gilmore (Bullet For My Valentine, Linkin Park) and released on DGC/Interscope Records November 2nd. It debuted at #4 on the Billboard Rock album chart, #3 on the Billboard Alternative chart (just behind Kings of Leon & Mumford and Sons) and #1 on the Billboard Tastemakers Chart, and the first single "Issues" is still climbing the rock radio charts. Escape The Fate blends metal licks with pop melodies and soaring guitar solos with anthemic choruses into an epic sound only hinted at on the band’s previous discs: 2008’s This War Is Ours and 2006’s Dying Is Your Latest Fashion.

I have not seen fans worship and revere a band this hard since My Chemical Romance. Looks like ETF are nipping at MCR's heels and are on their way up, up and up."

AMP: What do you believe sets you apart from all the other bands?

ETF: We are the coolest band that’s why. No other bands are as cool as us. (laughs) I think every band sets apart from other bands. Everyone is unique so when you get four or five unique, different individuals in a band, every band will be a little different from the other one. Know what I mean, jelly bean?

I am a liar, I am no model figure
I am a monster and I am ashamed
Call me the devil, my name’s what you prefer
I come off shameless, but I am ashamed.

I look for help, can’t find it anywhere
My own reflection is the one sight that I cannot bare
Look to the sky and find even the heavens cry
Anticipating and debating what is left in life

I am.....

Cryin out in pain, but no one knows how to find you
You’re lost in darkness
Cryin out in vain but no one knows how to reach you
You’re lost in darkness again

By her hair he drags her in the street
He’s free of others eyes, there are no glances
She cries for help with a gun to her cheek
But no one comes nobody listens
Her blood runs red all through the street

I can’t find my inspiration

I’ve been down and down this road before
Now comes my day of reckoning
Can you hear the angels singin
I hear them call my name

Your words hit me like a wrecking ball
Tears through establishments
I’ve been through so much suffering
My patience is running thin
I’ve been slowly dyin out

I’ve been down and down this road before
Now comes my day of reckoning
Can you hear the angels singing
I hear them call my name

Can you feel the drummers beating
Their marches shake the earth from me
Can you hear the angels signing
I hear them call my name, call my name

Oh, no more of this suffering
No more of this war
