After 11 years this "demo" is still a masterpiece like "His Last Walk" by Blessthefall with Craig!

[@Warbr33d]

Absolutely. Surely once of the best demos out there.

[@xTW33T3Rx]

truer words have not been more true

[@Kengoorooshka]

Imagine your first demo album is your peak release.

[@wessatterfield9836]

I used to jam this wayyyy back. Haven't heard it in forever. For some reason randomly thought of it and I still think this is where craig belonged vocally

[@amatthew7861]

Yeah I agree. I’m happy for him and all the success he’s had but artistically, I think he was much better with TWA

[@FunkyPunk1995]

@@amatthew7861this demo has my favorite vocals of any 2000s/2010s metalcore/post hardcore warped tour/hot topic type stuff. The singing is great and the screams sound so raw

his work in btf was his best i think. a lot of the early ETF songs by him are pretty nice. obviously not on the levels of TWA and btf.. and the early dead rabbitts stuff is good too

[@xxghostxx7]

I've been a fan of TWA since the release of these songs. Personally I like Telle more, but god, this songs have a different spirit, energy or a vibe that can't be compared. This EP is a masterpiece.

[@Ascendancy-]

What makes you like him more

[@davisenas9949]

every time they come out with a new album, makes me appreciate these set of songs even more, been there since the beginning.

[@ThePurestMayhem]

Not even being a hater, I think this is the best stuff they've done. Sure telles not bad and the production improves each release but damn the energy these songs have can't be rivaled by any of their later work. I still remember this back in the high school days. We were all like 'bless the who?' haha

[@kweegyprides2289]

ThePurestMayhem i know right? they are coming to my city soon and i really hope they play some lf their old stuff, im gonna be screaming "the devil inside" the hole show until they play it lol

[@acordbrad]

15 years later and I’m still pissed Craig dropped this for ETF

[@radicalraccoon]

Same. 😂

[@xTW33T3Rx]

i agree, but at the same time do not blame him one bit...at least we have dead rabbits.

[@apexlucas]

He got kicked

[@radicalraccoon]

@@apexlucas Correct. If I remember correctly, he was kicked as a result of his interest in being in Escape the Fate and The Word Alive simultaneously. The rest of the band members in The Word Alive didn't appreciate that, as they didn't want to be consigned to being a side project for Craig. Perfectly understandable, honestly. Too many vocalists ditch much more promising bands with significant potential for growth in favor of more notable bands whenever an opportunity presents itself.

[@Heywooo]

What a blast from the past, I loved this version of TWA best but honestly so impressive they have trucked on so long with Telle making good music. Shit is just nostalgic listening and playing skate 2 haha.

[@Heywooo]

I was gonna reply saying hell yeah and it's my comment, ope.

[@EvanArg]

@@Heywooo haha your second comment made my day 😂

[@danosborne5170]

Such nostalgia

[@JafoTHEgreat]

Craig's golden year. I bet the whole house on it.

[@paizedao]

Living proof is that Craig Mabbit proves to be creative and versatile at the highest level, something that the current band has not been able to achieve to date. Difficult and melancholic lyrics portraying the reality of many people who suffered such consequences as mentioned in their lyrics. Truly an excellent vocalist and lyricist at what he does, he deserved to be more recognized!!!!

[@UndeadAhead]

Good thing he is recognized now, in Escape The Fate.

[@yungwayne3268]

craigs work in BTF and TWA is legendary to me. but his work in ETF just aint as good, sounds more like dad rock than that emo raw sound im looking for.

[@shawncicalese4094]

I hear ya, i wouldnt word Exactly like THAT yet not as Are. Still,, loyal, fan of Craig Mabbitts

[@JavierRios-sq7sp]

Yeah craig is less hardcore now and more pop...

[@MiniMugenMan]

Early Escape The Fate is kinda blessthefall/wordalive-esque. I'm talking right after Ronnie left and Craig took over vocals. Like This War is Ours era

[@cires2849]

Masterpiece … and a demo EP nonetheless. So much raw emotion and energy. Hard to describe in words. Craig is just on another level but Telle is definitely respectable.

[@MrDestroyedSoulx]

Really sucks that this masterpiece was never properly released. This is the only complete version I can even find on KZbin or Google. Where did you even get it? Did you download it from MySpace before those idiots lost like a decade of music? I wish I could find an actual CD or digital download for this. This album is still my favorite album Craig Mabbit ever released. Or at the very least tied with His Last Walk. You can still find ETF demos, and blessthefall demos too. But for some reason I can't find these demos. You can still find From Behind These Walls (original name for Falling In Reverse) on KZbin as well. But it seems KZbin is the main place to listen to old demos now. MySpace screwed up and lost most of the music on it. Including my own, as well as my father's music. Both of which are now only available on KZbin. (mine is privated though).

Only Casanova Rodeo was officially released on their first project "Empire EP", without Craig Mabbit. "Can't Let Up" is now "Inviting Eyes" on the EP with new lyrics. And Craig redid "Are You On Drugs?" with his other band Dead Rabbitts (not as good imo)
