Inspiration Through Music
Written By Alex Muccino
About three years ago my friends and I started a cover band called Saving Escape, we started by practicing in a small basement with nothing but an electronic drum kit and a couple of acoustic guitars. We took every gig opportunity we could get, anywhere from playing our friend's backyard house parties, to being the background music for small events in our hometown. We spent the first year trying to find our sound, what we wanted to be. We started off playing really... really bad green day covers, and really anything to hit the top 100's on Kiss 107.
As the years went on and our experience of playing new venues expanded we found the artists that gave us our inspiration, Jimi Hendrix, The Black Keys, The Beatles, etc... these artists don't even start to scratch the surface of the broad range of musicians that keep us inspired every day.
Now I am proud to say that Saving Escape has played my dream venue (Bogart's) three times now and we are currently in Sonic Lounge Studios in Columbus recording on our first studio E.P. Now a days there is little to nothing that inspires me as much as playing music every day, and somehow every sort of art or visual design ties back to being in a band.
Here's a video of us playing a cover of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes in 2016:
