Interview with Kevin Thrasher

Of Escape The Fate

Hey what's up! This is Thrasher from Escape the Fate. I'm the lead guitar player.

How did you become a part of Escape The Fate, & How did you guys meet?

I became a part of ETF after their guitar players quit the band. I had always been a touring member when the past guitar players refused to tour. Dating back to 2011. We always got along with each other and kept in touch. We met back in 2007 while our bands all were touring together on the 'Black on Black Tour.' The lineup was my former band, Lovehatehero, Craig's former band Bless the Fall, and Escape the Fate.

How is the "Touring Life" & What is your Favorite & Least Favorite part of touring With escape the fate?

The touring life is exciting for me. I had spent 2 years doing gigs as a guitar player for major label artists, and working in the studio full time before going back on the road. I love the fact that we are in a different city every day and get to play shows every night. I guess my least favorite parts would be not being around for special occasions and holidays. I've missed a lot of family events and birthdays being out on the road. Sometimes it can be rough on relationships as well.
