For My Escape

Living in a city surrounded by music, and musicians, each with their own voice, screaming to be heard, makes it difficult on any one group to be noticed. For My Escape, however, is a band with the initiative, independence, and the drive to get their voice heard, and to get their message to as many people as possible. A suburb of Cleveland, Ohio is the birthplace of the band For My Escape, formed by veteran members Ricky J. Reece (lead vocalist / guitarist) and Rob Reece (lead guitarist). They have since grown the reputation as being "one of the hardest working Christian bands in the Cleveland area" (Bruce Brenneman, Promoter – PROJECT 18). When asked to describe their sound, For My Escape always replies the same way…"Rock". Their influences vary, from Pillar, Kutlass, and Incubus, to Sanctus Real, Switchfoot, Finch,Thousandfoot Krutch and Underoath. …and that's just barely scratching the surface. But at the end of the day, For My Escape is just that. Rock. Maybe the specific style will change from song to song, but that's the enchantment of the band. Pop-Rock, 80's Rock, Alt. Rock, and Melodic Rock are all very much noticeable with For My Escape. The band fuses screaming guitars, with powerful solos, catchy bass hooks, and hip-hop influenced drum beats that you can't help but groove to, with catchy lyrical hooks that will stay in your head for days to come. On stage, For My Escape plays an intense and extremely entertaining live show, which has been sought after all over the state of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Walking the line of rocking out hard, while still managing to have a good time and interact with the audience, can often prove tricky for most bands, but not For My Escape. They do it flawlessly, and make it appear effortless. Charisma and charm, both on and off stage, is a definitive quality of each member and audience members who come in not knowing the name of the band, will leave the show as true For My Escape fans.
