ESKAPO ON TAKE-4!


Check out this recent post on ESKAPO'S Myspace! 'Nuff Said!

We are proud to announce our first release on Take Four Collective Records based out of Manila, Philippines to be released in 2008.

The split will feature two bands from the bay area, Eskapo (Vallejo Ca.) and La Grita (San Jose Ca.) and two bands from the Philippines, Kill Ratio (Manila) and Istukas over Disneyland (Pampangga).

The two American bands on this release can be seen playing around venues in California or elsewhere in the States. Catch them if you can , support the DIY punk scene and hear some bastards spit venom in another language.A brief and somewhat accurate description of the other bands:

Kill Ratio - is Manila Destructo D-Beat with churning riffs, thunderous drums and throat ripping screams about society's decay.Many have called them the Philippines answer to Victims and bands of that variety.The lyrics paint a stark horizon ahead as the global crisis continues and unrest stirs the masses, Kill Ratio will play the dirge.

Istukas over Disneyland - are the long standing flag bearers of their provincial punk scene, Pampangga. I.O.D. play a unique style of hardcore punk influenced not only by the inflection of their dialect but by the early Pinoy punk bands that were around during the 80's. Melodic , old school hardcore punk is what I'd call them, played by those who never surrendered.
watch out for more details on this coming release!
