THE ALTESCAPE NARRATIVE:
‘I started ALTESCAPE at 17 years old, as a space to improve my own writing, whilst showcasing artists that I care about. ALTESCAPE began at a time when I was desperately trying to discover my own identity- freshly dyed pink hair and freshly pierced nose ring, with My Chem on repeat. Since then, I have grown into my identity as well as my music taste, and ALTESCAPE has become a place to share and acknowledge artists that I have found to have great value. It feels like an immense privilege to work alongside talented and upcoming alternative artists whilst giving a platform to a culture that is so important’- Daisy Taylor
​
ALTESCAPE is interested in a variety of musical genres, and alternative events. Key genres that we spotlight include: metal, emo/post emo, hardcore, pop-punk, and alternative indie.
