Watch :: Between Kings - The Escape

Words: Ellie Ward

A sweeping anthem from Brisbane, Australia's post-alt rock outfit Between Kings, the title track of their forthcoming debut album 'The Escape', out on May 4.

"This song is a window into the minds of four young guys from Australia," says lead singer Nic Machuca. "It's our way of expressing our desire to dismantle the insecurities in life and create our own reality."

Check out a music video for the 'The Escape below. Filmed in their hometown, the clip is a narrative delving into self-esteem and domestic violence that paired with driving rhythms, soaring melodies and lyrics like, "I won't leave you in the dark," and "I'll be your home" is uplifting, inspiring and emotionally triumphant.

"We have poured our hearts and souls into this single and the entire album and believe this is the start of something special," adds Nic.

The band will be on the road in Australia promoting the new record as support for Escape The Fate and Awaken I Am, May 28-June 4. See dates below.
