Escape the Hive is a 70’s oriented hard rock band with emphasis on lyrics that feed your mind and music to move your feet. They’re a nod to breaking free of your constraints and the experience of freedom, with roots firmly planted in 70’s arena rock along the lines of Foreigner, Deep Purple, Journey and the like. The Escape The Hive vibe is definitely made to sit alongside their new contemporaries in the "New Wave of Classic Rock" phenomenon that's taking hold across the world, as well as the artists who influenced it to begin with. “We are definitely influenced by that era of rock, but a bit more first hand. That era of music actually formed who we are as people as well as the music we write” says lead singer Michael Beck.
Escape The Hive was born in 2021 after Michael Beck spent time on tour singing with Jake E Lee's Red Dragon Cartel, and fronted the critically acclaimed release with Kings of Dust in 2019. He started writing with DL Marble bassist Paul Williams. Beck says,“it was a very natural fit. Paul has a great swing to his playing that makes it easy to write too”. The two then enlisted former Dirty Looks and Louis Prima drummer A.D Adams. “A.D is a guy I have wanted to do a record with for a long time, and he was already playing fill-in shows with Paul. He’s just a monster drummer!” says Beck. For the guitar duties, Alice Cooper “Proof is in the Pudding” WINNER Conrad Varela was recruited. Conrad had been playing live for the likes of Alice Cooper and Geoff Tate. Alice holds Conrad in high regard, speaking about him frequently on his radio show “Nights with Alice Cooper”. Beck says,“I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve played with some really top-notch guitar players, Conrad fills those shoes!”. What would a 70’s hard rock band be without keys?! Keyboardist Mike Vars was brought in to round out and complete the lineup that is now Escape The Hive.
The debut release from Escape The Hive “This Is Gonna Sting” from Shock Records/The Vanity Music Group was released September 15th, 2023. The band is already in the studio working on the follow up. And looking for a release date sometime in 2025.
