Biography
The musical style of Escape Goat was first conceived by Neil Jackson, years before he crossed the Atlantic and into Canada from Belfast, Northern Ireland. In March of 2016, Neil partnered with Erin Dobbin in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and the pair began to evolve Neil's original ideas. Later that year, Kyle Anderson added a much needed dose of live drumming to the group, and in February 2017, BC import Scott Renton completed the lineup, and unexpectedly added trombone to the group's sound, to create a full-fledged band.
The band has been described as a mix of Faith No More, Primus and Alice in Chains. Or possibly Black Sabbath, mixed with Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rush? Alan Cross has suggested their sound is "Kinda Chili Peppers, Kinda Zappa, Kinda Primus." The band themselves like to imagine a group with Les Claypool on guitar, John Frusciante on bass, Ice-T on drums, and Bill Ward singing.
