Forming in early 2006, Canberra based 4-piece ESCAPE SYNDROME has enjoyed an exciting and hectic 2 years together. From humble beginnings as a youth band, Escape Syndrome has worked hard to become a leading force within the Canberra music scene. Bringing a unique mix of intricate melodies, catchy hooks and soaring vocal lines, and being recognised within the local scene for their energetic and high powered live shows, Escape Syndrome is a band constantly striving to better themselves.
After playing constantly throughout 2006, gaining a small local following and recording a rough 3 track demo, Escape Syndrome kicked off 2007 with the release of their debut album WRONGTURNRIGHT. The album offered a solid mix of guitar driven, odd time based metal and solid, straight forward punk rock, as well as one acoustic ballad, which featured Escape Syndrome’s first experimentation using string arrangements. The song ‘Shadows’, with its ghostly violin and cello sections, and powerful lyrics, gained the attention of local radio station FM104.7, and has since received regular radio airplay on the stations ‘Homegrown’ segment.
Now, in 2008, Escape Syndrome is beginning the recording of their latest offering; a 5 track EP, which will be released later this year. The quartet is also gearing up to play shows in Melbourne, Sydney and surrounding regions, as they continue to build their fan base at home and interstate.
