Taperjean Records is proud to announce the signing of Melbourne’s 'City Escape' to their ever growing roster of Australian artists consisting of The Mission In Motion, Closure In Moscow, Fifty Sixx and Calerway.

Having formed in 2007, City Escape spent the last 18 months playing shows throughout Victoria developing their sound and honing their skills as musicians. 

In 2008 City Escape ventured to Sydney’s Electric Sun Studio’s to record their debut EP 'Avalanches' with Dave Petrovic (The Mission In Motion / House Vs Hurricane).  The seven track EP is set to solidify City Escape’s rightful place in the Australian scene and displays the band’s talent and musicianship. The band is eager for the EP to start spinning in stereos around the nation.

“We are very excited to be working with City Escape, after one listen of their record, I knew this is a band whom are not only a great fit to our label, but also a band with huge potential not only here in Australia but also around the globe” Andrew Perumalla – A & R – Taperjean Records

City Escape’s debut EP 'Avalanches' will be available nationally through Taperjean Records / Shock on Sat April 18th and features the single 'When Vultures Start To Circle' which can be downloaded here.

To coincide with the launch of the new single, City Escape will be touring in support of House Vs Hurricane & Mary Jane Kelly throughout March. 'Avalanches' will also be available nationally in Japan via Garimpeiro Records in early May.
