Escape Artists are soon releasing their final studio album after 11 years of existence as a band. I listened and reviewed the final record for our zine.

This Vienna, Austria based melodic skatepunk pop punk influenced band are going down to history with all guns blazing blasting their swansong with 8 melodic punkrock songs Europan style, not unlike Bambix, This Side Up and similar bands. From the faster skatepunk influenced title song, accross serious sounding Addiction Turns Into Fiction four guys and a girl deliver just great music just made to singalong and hum to all day. One of the highlights of the album for me is definitely Even Angels Need To Learn How To Fly, beautiful song indeed. Wake Up is another song with awesome vocal melodies courtesy of singer Pia. I love this girl´s voice, neither too mellow, nor too harsh, ideal for this kind of music backed with wonderful backing vocal harmonies and melodies. One of the songs I must also mention is Goodbye which ends the record and the band in a symbolic way, closing one era and opening another one. Good one.
