ESCAPE - Demo 198? (Probably 85) Gawler, Adelaide, SA

Post by Nicko McBuff »

By request, an Escape demo. (but not "Strike Back" 87!) Enjoy

Tracklist:
One and All
Death Sentence
Chain Reaction
Terminator

Probably a very early demo. As the rip I'm supplied with has a badly scanned "Beast on the East" tour 85 photo.

Ripped this one to FLAC from a CDR. I don't have my mp3 encoder at the moment (recently had to re-install the mighty F00BAR and lost all my encoders)

I suppose it has its teenage charm. But it doesn't reach the heights here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veol7hZYOCs (They gigged a lot in Adelaide, and Melbourne and then relocated? to Sydney? different lineup here I bet)

Further Escape info is out there:

http://messandnoise.com/features/4641447

https://www.facebook.com/unsignedescape/?fref=nf Facebook page for the upcoming? documentary. A bunch of photos etc. I'm guessing we'll hear some released music when that comes out?

There are a few more videos on youtube. They were filmed quite a bit back in the day but I haven't bought any of the videos.

Thanks for sharing.

I've never seen video footage of these guys before. Esthetically they remind me of Gwar without the masks, haha...

Sounds a bit like Too Fast For Love spirit mixed with NWOBHM.
Thanks for the rip and extra infos.

musically this demo seems to be inferior to Black Jack or Nothing Sacred, just to name these two bands because they were on the same bill at Metal for Melbourne, so I do not wonder why the were not signed... they should have put more effort into the music and less in costumes and stage shows and more crap...
thanks for uploading
I have been outta here for some time, maybe some folks remember me, maybe not...
Now back in the game here - I missed you - cheers

There you go, story around that Strike Back clip on Youtube...

https://www.facebook.com/unsignedescape ... 2083655921

"In June 1987, Bob and John were due to appear on 'Juke Box Jury' and the station wanted original Escape material to play on the show, so SA-FM had them record this. It was recorded live at SA-FM's studio on Greenhill Rd. Minimal overdubs were done in the same studio. Shame they didn't let them record their whole set. I remember the band got a copy of the song on an SA-FM branded cassette"
