MODERN DAY ESCAPE
Rock / Post Hardcore / Alternative
Formed in Orlando, FL. in the summer of 2006, "Modern Day Escape has an infectious sound and draws in the crowd regardless of what market they are playing."-Shane Jay Hayes (Essential Media Group)
The band was originated when members NxE, and Shep traveled coast to coast, from California to Florida, to meet up with singer James Vegas. Though it almost all ended before it even got started, as Bass player Shep was forced to abandon his dreams and return home for personal reasons.
Forming the band “Avenging Addisonâ€, JV and NxE continued to rise through the local music ranks. Going through multiple members due to conflicts of interest, the boys continued searching for a group of guys with the same spark that they held. Carrying on with the path and heart of the group, they managed to scoop up current guitarist, Marti Rubels in 2007.
After getting together with Rubels, they decided to tear apart “Avenging Addison†and start from scratch. Without hesitating they began working, even though they were still short a complete band. After what became an entire year spent hiding away from the music scene, writing and rewriting, everything seemed to come together in 2008.
When the time felt right, despite the fact MDE still lacked a final lineup; they began playing any show they could get a hold of. Through high energy performances where nothing is held back, the band began landing Orlando’s most important venues within a month. Ironically while playing out, Modern Day Escape almost seemed to stumble onto its drummer, Jimmy Dozer.
Almost right after finding Dozer, one of the biggest and best surprises came with the return of Shep from California; completing Modern Day Escape with a type of ending only found in books. Now, with bigger and better shows in the upcoming months, the band continues churning out a cohesive musical addiction.
Music that seems to defy current copy cat bands; A sound that can still deliver melodic verses, catchy choruses, and a guttural break down punch...while never falling into the genre of "just noise". With a new self titled EP release Apr 5th 2008, the spring ’08 release of their video “March of the Deadâ€, and the upcoming "Summer Disastour" taking them from coast to coast , Modern Day Escape breaks through all obstacles and borders. And is taking the world by storm this year!
"It’s a competitive industry but Modern Day Escape is focusing on the big picture and successfully marketing a future in the right direction. So big LA, where’s the contract?" -Kyle “Kore†Parsons, Music Reviewer;
