MySpace Music Australia recently posted a quick interview with Craig and Max at Soundwave Australia back in February.

Unless you know French, turn up your volume for this. The sound quality isn’t too good.

Escape The Fate is on the cover of French music magazine Rock One. I tried to do a rough translation of the description so it might not be that accurate. If anyone has scans, please send it in. Thanks.

Escape The Fate: Smells Like Guillotine Spirit
Craig et sa bande semblent avoir si bien entendu vos cris, vos éclats de rires et de larmes qu’ Escape The Fate a décidé, avant ue pause bien méritée, d’achever la premiére décennie du vint-et-uniéme siécle á Paris. Si ce n’est pas le début d’une belle histoire d’amour, ça y ressemble.

Craig and his gang seem to be so heard your cries, your laughter and tears that Escape The Fate decided before a well-deserved break, to complete the first decade of the came-first century Paris. If this is not the beginning of a beautiful love story, it resembles.

Here’s an interview Escape The Fate did with HardTimes.Ca last month.

Craig Mabbitt and Max Green were recently featured on AP’s Chalkboard Confessional. Check out the full feature online at AltPress.com.

ESCAPE THE FATE haven’t exactly had the smoothest of rides since forming in 2004, but through it all, they’ve repeatedly fought the odds and come out on top. Their most recent full-length, 2008′s This War Is Ours, incorporated a lot of elements about rising above their past, however it’s only the recent past that the Las Vegas post-hardcore outfit wish to overcome. Their earliest musical influences-some of which you might expect and others that might surprise you-are still a large part of what makes the band who they are today. We spoke with vocalist Craig Mabbitt and bassist Max Green about how music has inspired their lives and livelihood.

If you were to make a mix tape from your childhood , which bands would be featured?
MAX GREEN: Probably a little LL Cool J, like that song, “Mama Said Knock You Out.” I listened to a lot of Smashing Pumpkins and Mötley Crüe, too.
CRAIG MABBITT: It would have Journey, Aerosmith, the Backstreet Boys, Color Me Badd and Sublime. Back in the day, I listened to a lot of Power 92, a hip-hop and R&B station in Arizona. I remember being really young and listening to a lot of Alanis [Morisette] and Sheryl Crow, too. Then I got in to classical music like Beethoven.
