DYING IS YOUR LATEST FASHION
EPITAPH RECORDS
‘”I don’t want to come off like an asshole,’ says outspoken Escape the Fate frontman Ronnie, ‘but we’re gonna be that change in music.’” NOT! This Vegas-based quintet, described in its press release as a “hard rock/screamo outfit” has a generic sound that doesn’t break any ground, not to mention that these genres are hardly new. “Ronnie’s vision is of himself as a jukebox hero playing to arenas packed with fans, many of them horny groupies that would kill or die for him. And maybe, if they’re lucky, he’ll deign to acknowledge them.” And: “It used to be fun. Girls used to come to shows and show their titties… If that doesn’t come back, I don’t know what I’m gonna do.” Guitarists Omar and Bryan, bassist Max, and drummer Robert somehow squeeze into the space left in the lineup not taken up by Ronnie’s ego. Shades of Spinal Tap and SNIFF THE GLOVE!
