Escaping Earth began as a sonic experiment in early 2022, born from the creative partnership of guitarist Curtis Hawkins and bassist Matt George in a modest home studio on California's Central Coast. What started as a handful of demos quickly evolved into something bigger. With the precision of drummer Nathan Santana and the rhythmic backbone of Brandon Hayter joining the fold, the band solidified its lineup and launched into a genre-defying journey through heavy and progressive music.

Now in the studio tracking their debut EP, Escaping Earth is channeling raw energy and technical finesse into a body of work that reflects their boundary-pushing ethos. Their sound fuses intricate arrangements with emotional weight—liberating listeners from the expected and plunging them into immersive, cerebral soundscapes. Whether on stage or in the studio, the band delivers a visceral experience that’s as relentless as it is refined.
