About Me |

Two sets of brothers (Grant and Tyler Drygas, Shandy and Jordan Kern) united to form ESCALATE! As an experiment gone frighteningly right, Kern melodies and Drygas rhythms combined to form a force irresistible to human ears, feet and hips alike. A four-piece instrumental outfit, ESCALATE! forsake vocals and lyrics to concentrate on blending and reconfiguring diverse genres spawning a fresh and innovative sound mosaic. Five years later… The release of their debut full-length GROOVES.BEATS.SCIENCE.SOUL. A record as much in the spirit of Air, Out Hud, !!! and Stereolab, as past visionaries The Meters and On The Corner-era Miles Davis, GROOVES.BEATS.SCIENCE.SOUL is a disc with a scope wide enough to delight both party people shaking their moneymakers on the dance floor as well as chilled out beat heads sinking back into a bean bag chair strapped with headphones. Perhaps most impressive, however, is their live show: A continuous flow of invention that seamlessly segues from one song to the next. Now, in 2008, more focused than ever, the four are once again preparing to head into the studio. Always dynamic and energetic, ESCALATE! continue to swagger, not stagger, in hot pursuit of their unique sonic vision. Members of ESCALATE! have performed alongside Nathan Larson (Shudder To Think, A Camp, Hot One), Kevin March (Shudder To Think, Guided By Voices, Hot One), Jason Collett, Al P. (MSTRKRFT), The Junction, and Emm Gryner, including an appearance on Gryner’s Juno Award nominated album Asianblue. ESCALATE! was the winner of People’s Choice Award for the 2004 Brampton Indie Arts Festival. "Doves Don’t Cry", track ten from Grooves.Beats.Science.Soul. appeared as the score music for a Greenpeace video. ESCALATE! have been a regular fixture over the last three years at Kensington Market’s famed Pedestrian Sundays, receiving significant public acclaim. READ EXCLAIM!
