Escape The Fates Resilient History
Ronnie Radke served as the lead vocalist of the band and was backed by lead guitarist Bryan “Monte” Money, Max Green who also assists with the backing vocals and bass, Rhythm guitarist Omar Espinosa, and drummer Robert Ortiz. Keyboardist Carson Allen was also a member of Escape the Fate but later left the band to join another band, “On The Last Day” the same year after their first EP was released and before their first album surfaced in 2006.
Two years after their first album was released Ronnie Radke was involved with a serious incident that led to his removal from the band. Omar Espinosa also left the band during the Black on Black tour which never finished.
Craig Mabbitt from Blessthefall band took Ronni Radke’s place as lead vocalist and paved the way with his current band mates to release their second album. Discography History
