Bio
"Modern Day Escape has an infectious sound and draws in the crowd
regardless of what market they are playing."-Shane Jay Hayes
(Essential Media Group)

Modern Day Escape pride themselves on a DIY ethic. They like to wear
belts, and spread smiles with their brand of rock and roll that at
once shreds and inspires sing-alongs and dance pits. Maybe a crowd
surfer or two. You'll leave an MDE show in a pool of
sweat, one less shoe and toothy grin.

Since forming barely two years ago, Orlando-based Modern Day Escape
has covered more ground than they ever imagined possible. They
released their self-titled debut EP Modern Day Escape in Spring
of 2008. Shortly afterwards, major distributors Hot Topic, iTunes,
Amazon and Smartpunk.com were helping get the group's music out there,
to great acclaim. The EP has been flying off HT store shelves in their
native Orlando, and has hit the Top Ten on Smartpunk.com. As of Jan 5,
2009, Modern Day Escape is #13 on Smartpunk's Unsigned chart, and #22
on the Top Selling 100 CDs. All of this for a band that is still
UNSIGNED.

Then closing the year off with a bang, Modern Day Escape singer James
Vegas is featured on the cover of the December 2008 issue of AMP
Magazine for the "21 Young Guns Salute (21 Bands that will OWN in
2009)!" issue. Their track "Girls Like You" is featured on the AMP
Compilation included with the issue.

This is all due to the LOVE FROM THEIR FANS, as well as the band's
drive to earn it themselves with hard work and dedication. All the
while, the struggle continues to overcome the obstacles that are posed
to any group who refuses to compromise their artistic integrity or
sell themselves short. The boys dream is to find a record label that
will work with them, pushing as hard as they do. As for now, the
search continues.

In 2008, Modern Day Escape toured coast to coast on "The Summer
Disas-TOUR" and the "Not My House Tour." While rocking legendary
venues from Florida to California, including Chain Reaction, Mesa
Theatre and The White Rabbit, Modern Day Escape shared the stage with
bands like Lovehatehero, Oceana, Bleed The Dream, Smile from the
Trenches, and Take The Crown.

The upcoming year proves to be the biggest ever for Modern Day Escape.
The band is soon to announce the title of their HIGHLY ANTICIPATED,
FULL-LENGTH ALBUM DEBUT (slated for release in late Spring of 2009).
Also long awaited are tour dates for their upcoming "The Dead Travel
Fast Tour" and "Preda-Tour" coast-to-coast tours. Modern Day Escape is
prepared to continue to take the world by storm!

If you're looking for the story of how we started, or where this all
came from...feel free to ask us. But if you're really looking for one
of the hardest working, up-and-coming, UNSIGNED groups out there,
you've definitely come to the right place.
