History
Beginning and Dying is Your Latest Fashion
(2005–2006)
Before forming Escape The Fate, vocalist Ronnie Radke, bassist Max Green, drummer Robert Ortiz, lead guitarist Bryan Monte Money, and rhythm guitarist Omar Espinosa were in multiple bands together.
In September 2005, Escape the Fate had won a local radio contest judged by
My Chemical Romance. The gig awarded them the opportunity to open a show on the band's headlining tour with
Alkaline Trio and
Reggie and the Full Effect, which subsequently led to Escape the Fate's record deal with Epitaph.
On May 23, 2006, the band released their debut EP titled
There's No Sympathy for the Dead.
The EP included two songs that were later on their full length album,
Dying Is Your Latest Fashion
. The EP was produced by Michael Baskette and helped earn the band attention from record labels and fans alike. After the EP's release, keyboardist Carson Allen left the band to join On The Last Day.
On September 26, 2006 the band released their first full-length album,
Dying Is Your Latest Fashion.
Departure of Radke and Espinosa (2006–2008)
In 2007 During the Black on Black tour, rhythm guitarist Omar Espinosa left the band due to personal issues.
Ronnie Radke was asked to leave the band after he was sentenced to prison for multiple run-ins with the law involving narcotics and battery for a fight that led up to the death of Michael Cook.
As stated by Max Green, "First we couldn't tour out of the country, then out of the state."
Ronnie Radke is out of prison on December 15th. He is in a new band named
Falling in Reverse.

This War is Ours
(2008–2009)
After the departure of Radke, former
Blessthefall vocalist Craig Mabbitt joined the band, first as a temporary replacement, and then as a permanent member.
This War is Ours
was released on October 21, 2008. It included the singles "The Flood", "Something", and "
10 Miles Wide". It was the first Escape The Fate album featuring Craig Mabbitt as vocalist.
Before the tour for
This War Is Ours

Escape The Fate later went on the "This War Is Ours Tour" with
Attack Attack!,
Burn Halo,
William Control, and
Black Tide.
"The Flood" has been released as DLC with the
Warped Tour 01 Pack for

Rock Band 2.
Plans for the future (2009–present)
Mabbitt has leaked information that the band already has 5 new songs in the works, and has started recording the songs, while planning on performing a few on the 2009 Van's Warped Tour. On May 31st, Mabbitt stated on his twitter acount "finished 7 new demo songs for the next album sooo excited, thanks for the heaviness recharge monte," alluding to the possibility of heavier songs. He also stated for fans that they have incorporated more screaming into these new songs.
In a recent interview during Warped Toured 2009, Escape The Fate stated that they were going to be recording sometime in the winter and will release a new record come spring of 2010. Craig Mabbitt also stated that after Warped Tour, the band would be releasing a new song.
In another interview during Warped Tour 2009, Max Green stated "It's fucking bad ass! I can't wait to release it. It's heavier sort of - it's not super heavy but it's sort of...I don't know... loud". He would also go on to say that the album will feature a song co-written by Mick Mars of
Motley Crue, who approached Escape The Fate to collaborate on some songs.
