Escape the Fate is an American post-hardcore band from Las Vegas, Nevada. The band came randomly together through MySpace when Ronnie Radke and Max Green were looking for new band members after their prior group abruptly fell apart.On the popular website, they soon found guitarist Bryan Money, who subsequently brought in Vegas transplant and guitarist Omar Espinosa (ex- Lovehatehero ).Friend and drummer Robert Ortiz joined on to complete the group.
Their first full-length album was released on September 26 2006, entitled Dying Is Your Latest Fashion.

Escape The Fate's early success on the local radio quickly massed a devoted fan base. On October 2005, they won a local radio contest judged by My Chemical Romance, who awarded the band an opportunity.

The band signed to Epitaph Records. Their debut five-song EP, There's No Sympathy for the Dead, appeared in early 2006. Tour dates through the summer followed including several dates on the Warped Tour, and the band subsequently dropped off a tour with Bullet for My Valentine and Eighteen Visions due to personal problems. Radke was suddenly kicked out of the band, the reason recently revealed as Radke's drug addiction, weeks before the release of their first full album, Dying Is Your Latest Fashion, which was released on September 26, 2006. Dying Is Your Latest Fashion peaked at #12 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and #19 on the Top Independent Albums chart.[4]

On November 6, 2006, the band posted on their MySpace blog stating that Radke was back in the band. Radke also posted on his own MySpace explaining his absence and describing his new love for life.

The band was scheduled to co-headline "The Take Action Tour", but were not able to play for reasons unknown and were replaced by From First to Last, these reasons again later revealed as Ronnie's drug dependancy and several other problems.

Omar Espinosa left the band during the Black On Black tour in late 2007. He stated in his MySpace blog that he left the band for good, but that his leaving was on good terms, and he is still friends with the members of Escape the Fate. He said that he will continue to support the members no matter what, and he still believes it is a great band.

Radke was offically dismissed from the band in early 2008. His out of control drug dependancy, along with his alleged charges as an accomplice in a local murder, had caused all members of the band, except Max Green, to quit. The members later decided to kick Radke out in order to keep Escape The Fate going. Currently Craig Mabbitt from Blessthefall has replaced Radke as frontman and lead singer of the band.

On May 6, 2008, Escape the Fate announced that Craig Mabbitt had officially joined the band for the recording of the follow up to Dying Is Your Latest Fashion.
The album is titled "This War Is Ours" and was released October 21, 2008 through Epitaph Records.
