A four-piece original rock band founded in the nineties, Drifter's Escape is the latest underdog and rising force on the Philadelphia music scene. Often labeled 'roots rock,' their sound includes driving rhythms, no frills guitar, and honest, memorable, sometimes sarcastic lyrics.

The band began as a duo, and spent a few years playing two man acoustic shows. Looking for more of a rock sound, they expanded to a four piece and soon established an audience in the Philly suburbs. The group began a creative and productive period that earned a review in Rockpile magazine stating they had 'a strong grasp on an easily identifiable folk/ punk sound. The band has potential and could really make waves.' The review was a catalyst that motivated the quartet to record their debut CD 'Twenty Minutes.' The track 'Good As It's Gonna Get' climbed the charts on GarageBand.com reaching the number one status on the alternative playlist for over three weeks in the year 2000. Along with the combination of air play on WZZO - 95.1 FM's Backyard Bands and frequent gigs on the Philadelphia music scene, Drifter’s Escape has increased its name power.

Despite lineup changes in the band, the members of Drifter's Escape continue to improve as performers and are dedicated to developing new material. They have taken their sound to the stages of prominent Philadelphia clubs, and into the studio, where they recorded the promotional EP 'Stubborn From The Beginning.” Aiming to gain greater exposure and recognition, they are in the early stages of recording a new full-length album.
