Biography

"Exhilarating. Big, bouncy sounds. Relentlessly punchy rhythms. Dripping with dynamism" -MusicInLeicester Magazine

“It’s lovely what you’re doing, it’s a dog eat world my friend, and all of you stick to what you’re good at, and that’s music”

These are the encouraging words of Kasabian vocalist Tom Meighan given to fellow Leicester hailing rockers ESCAPADE, support sparked by their single ‘Stepping Stones’. It was reinforcement to the natural instinct and passion within the band to push themselves and their sound; an organic intent poised to make 2018 the band’s most striking year yet.

Escapade grew from the creative union of singer/songwriter Sam Wyatt and guitarist/songwriter Adam Bailey, emerging in the autumn of 2015 with its potent line-up subsequently completed by bassist Jordan Alleston and drummer Martin Wenham. Embracing influences across the band from sixties sounds to Oasis, Stone Roses and Leicester legends Kasabian, the quartet soon stirred attention with debut EP ‘Stepping Stones”, its title track and lead single the trigger to rich praise as that above.

Live Escapade was just as resourceful and swiftly built a local fan base, the band making their debut at two charity music festivals quickly followed by a slot at the Salford Music Festival. Their increasingly individual sound inspired by Britpop/Psychedelic Rock soon saw that support relentlessly grow outwards as first their EP stoked the fire of national attention to be followed by acclaimed single “Red Sky’ in 2017.

Their most successful year to date, Escapade spent the remainder of the year gigging and writing new material. They also took part in the SoundWaves Music competition, making the finals which will be held February 24th, 2018 at the O2 Academy in Birmingham. The year also saw their sound flourish and breed new imagination and maturity, evidence of its growth soon to be unveiled in a new single this February. The song is the first of a quartet of tracks scheduled for release in 2018, tracks showing a bigger and bolder Escapade ready to gather a wider audience and backed by a live presence which the band is similarly relentlessly honing and stretching.

Escapade is focusing on 2018 being the moment they make a rich impact on the British rock scene, a mission a great many more are already climbing on board with. They recently reached the goal of being crowned Soundwaves Music Competition Birmingham Winners! Performing in front of a sold out O2 Academy2 Birmingham crowd.
