Since their debut in early 2005, Dallas quartet Auto Escape has quickly become one of the most exciting, talked-about new bands around. The young members of Auto Escape create ground-breaking, inspiring music that glues together the scattered fragments of modern rock. Smart, poignant lyrics, danceable grooves and rich arrangements add up to a sound that is fresh, unique and instantly appealing. “We come from different places musically and that tension is what makes it so exciting… it forces us to always rethink and invent new ways to approach our songs,” says lead singer Donnie DeBoer. Auto Escape acknowledges a wide array of influences past and present while continually pushing forward into new musical territory.
“Auto Escape combines great songwriting, melodies and performance in a way that is universally appealing … They are one of the best new bands around and I’m very excited about their future.”
