Story: The Escape Frame was formed in November of 2005 with two members, Dustin Phillips and Chris Harvey. They found a house, moved in, and collectively assembled a studio with the persuit of one objective- to create beautiful music one could get lost in. With an open road of direction to take, bright and intricate music was arranged, layered by colorful vocal melodies and harmonies to compliment. As the songs were shaped to life, they realized the world needed to hear this wonderful creation. With the help of other great musicians they were able to form an entire band that captured the unique sound of their recording, started performing live, and attracted label attention immediately. By 2007, a contract was offered to them by Immortal Records. The label quickly began promoting and exposing this original rock sound, bringing a considerable amount of attention to the band. Media plays, website hits, and the fan base quickly began to explode with the interest of those desiring to listen to this influencial indie/dance feeling the band artistically produced. A full length album was recorded over the course of five weeks, starting in the middle of January 2007, designed for a fall release of that year. However, before the record could make it to the shelves, Dustin and Chris decided to rearrange the lineup and sign with another label, End Sounds. The digital release date is set for July 8th 2008. The hard copy of the album will be sold on the 2008 Vans' Warped Tour and will be released nationally in the Fall of 2008. After sorting through label decisions and the few temporary members, the band is now proud to have added Chris Sanders, Jesse Johnson, Nick Williams, and Derek Daniel to the lineup in the Spring of 2008, bringing new energy to the project. This one of a kind band has since been offered many opportunities, giving them the essentials to express to the music scene this beautiful diversity known as The Escape Frame.
