Appearing amid the fertile screamo scene of the 2000s, the Las Vegas band Escape the Fate prided itself on an energetic and visceral live show. After winning a local radio contest to open for My Chemical Romance, Escape the Fate scored a record deal and released their second album, This War is Ours, which debuted at an outstanding No. 35 on the Billboard charts. While they have attracted fans through the Hot Topic world to the iconic Warped Tour and beyond, in their hearts, Escape The Fate is a rock band that almost defies categorization. With a brilliant new album and upcoming tour dates in the US and Europe, this resilient band has proven that sometimes fate is what you make of it."
