Stray View is steamrolling into a new chapter. The rising heavy (metal) rockers are ready to command the scene with an enigmatic new single, Escape, and a new record deal with Hopeless Records. After rising to fame as part of Crown The Empire, vocalist Dave Escamilla is stepping out on his own in a big way with a project that is all his own. The new song is a testament to Escamilla’s unwavering talent, and is an important one as it paved the way for Stray View to come to life. The track premiered on Sirius XM Octane & Pandora to high praise and is now available to the masses.
Stray View’s Dave Escamilla shares of the track:
“Escape” was actually the first song that Brandon and I had executed together. I believe it was the first song he had shown me when we first met and I wrote/recorded the vocals in about an hour. After that, we realized that we had something special. Not only did we realize that we had the potential for a lot more as a project, but the song itself, felt special in the sense that a new identity was being created and it represented both of us so well. The song is about feeling conflicted. Ultimately, being trapped in a situation that progressively got worse after I had dedicated so much of myself to it and saw a future in it. The lyrics came to me almost immediately because the topic had weighed heavy on me for so long. And Brandon provided the perfect outlet for those words. So it’s safe to say that this song is uniquely important to us because it is what initially paved the way for Stray View to come to life.
