From Flensburg, Germany, we present the hardcore band Escapado. Currently their only English press coverage is from the indie art/music/skate magazine GLW/DRK, based in Austria, and their upcoming shows are all in their home country. But from what we've heard, Escapado are ready for wide exposure.

German hardcore might make you think Rammstein, but Verbindung and Stillleben bring to mind instead the Austin, Texas art-rockers ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead. Both have that peculiar blend of melodic and apocalyptic, although Escapado's vocals are much more raw and upfront. (You can get an idea from the picture above what their shows must be like.)
