A lot of people don't know the trials and tribulations of what a band goes through in order find their sound and who they are as musicians. Listen to what Tyler has gone through to get to the point in his musical career and how he met the awesome musicians that stand beside him. You can check out a song released by Escape artist that gives you what to expect in the upcoming EP release. Click the link below and support them!
