Escapes have released their second album which is self titled. This one really shows the band in a hard rock and post hardcore type of feel. There isn't really a band that sounds like this mixing both of those genres together. They have done a really great job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded pretty well, but it could use a little touch up here and there. The bands instrumentation on the album has been done pretty well also. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals are done really well, their singer can certainly sing and it is really nice to hear such melodic, clear vocals. With the lyrics, they have written some well thought out lyrics with subjects that you can get behind and understand. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick any song to listen to to get the idea of the album, or listen to the whole thing because every song is so good. Escapes have made an album that really has everything going for it, they really have potential to do something really big with this music. Hopefully with this, they can really get some buzz and get it going. Overall, this is a great album. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Escapes - Demo

1. I'll Take This Armor To The Grave
2. Satellites

Escapes have made a demo here that shows a band with some great potential to succeed with the sound and style they are trying to do. This band just has something that feels good, even in just the demo form. Now with the recording of these two songs, they got it right. Both of them sound pretty decent and they have some pretty good instrumentation to them. The singing and the lyrics on these songs also give them a great touch, the lyrics especially. If you want one to listen to over the other, both are really good but the first track takes it with the singing. Escapes have done a really good job here and have something that could really explode, if they try and push hard with it. Look out for these guys. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
