Escape The Fate & Nonpoint Co-Headline Dates
Escape The Fate’s fifth studio album, Hate Me, dropped last year via Eleven Seven Music. The Vegas quartet includes frontman Craig Mabbit, drummer Robert Ortiz, and guitarists Thomas “TJ” Bell and Kevin “Thrasher” Gruft.
“I’m excited to get back on the road and play some more ‘Hate Me’ for the Escape The Fate fans and showcase ourselves to some new faces, it’s going be a diverse show, that’s for sure!” Mabbitt said. “Old school-new school meets new school-old school and it’s going be one hell of a time.”
Nonpoint released its first endeavor on Spinefarm Records, The Poison Red, earlier this year. The band was birthed out of the Florida metal scene in the ’90s and the current lineup features Elias Soriano (vocals), Robb Rivera (drums), Rasheed Thomas (guitar), Adam Woloszyn (bass) and B.C. Kochmit (guitar).
“This record tells a lot of stories,” Soriano said. “Going from guts to glory. Chasing impossible dreams down the rabbit hole. Harsh and honest words with consequences attached. Uncovered rules for the weak, made by the wicked and heartless. Recalling fight or flight moments with a deep breath. And it all starts with a warning to all the world’s generations past, present and future to look up, look forward and live their lives loose from social media shackles, online bullying, the devaluation of art and music, and to not be absorbed by the dramatic, megalomaniacal side of politics. Life is right outside of your phone and newsfeed. Go live it and play this record while you do. It’ll all start to make sense.”
