Post Gospel Blues

Escapists

unsigned/Secret Dinosaur

WE SAY

Escapists display the qualities of the best guitar writers of the Brooklyn and Montreal bands of the 00's. It's a driven sound with a focus on quality melodies and powerful progressions, which capture mood and atmosphere to great effect. Early radio support for Post Gospel Blues has come from Huw Stephens on Radio 1, 6Music, Q, and the Xfm Evening Playlist, plus 'single of the week' and a session on John Kennedy's Xfm show. Escapists are attracting stern interest for records, publishing and their London show at The Macbeth will no doubt be full of industry adopters keen to find the next great British guitar band.

London Gig: December 8, The Macbeth N1

Management: Chris Dempsey
