Attention Local Bands...
Come out to our show in your city and bring your demos with you! We'll listen to your demos and pick a winner who will get to perform one song after Escape The Fate's set using OUR gear. You'll also get to introduce us before we go on, hang out, watch our set from the stage and hit us up for advice afterwards (if you want)!

Now for some background...The music we listened to while growing up wasn't about writing a catchy single and selling records, it was about having fun, supporting those around you (local bands included), making a positive change in the world, and putting aside differences and uniting under a common love of music (there's more to it than that...but you get the point). We're already doing some other things on this tour to bring the fun and positive message back to music, but we still wanted to do more. We were a local band at one point and we know how hard it is to get the word out about your band. The first step towards becoming a successful band is to build a strong hometown/regional following; so this is your chance to play to our crowd, show your hometown what you got and give the crowd another reason to support local bands (because in an ideal world, they should already be supporting local music)!! There are no excuses either. If you don't have a local scene in your area already, here's your chance to start one. There are bands everywhere and there are always places for those bands to play, be it a VFW hall, a basement or a local club (sometimes you have to get creative). The only excuse you have for not having and supporting your local music scene is your own laziness.

So here's what you do...Your whole band has to come to the show and you must personally submit your demo for a chance to win. Hand the demos to JT at our merch table by the end of The AKA's set. We'll pick the winner and announce it before Escape The Fate goes on. You'll play one song before we play and get to use all of our gear. All you need is your band and a demo. We'll see you out at the show! Good luck!
