Bio

Formed in early 2016, grind/powerviolence group Escuela, features female-fronted vocals from Katerina Economou, percussion by Jesse Fuentes (ex-Kill the Client, ex-Creator Destroyer, 1Fest), and guitars by Jason Eldridge (Monolith, ex-Body Without Organs) and Jackson Kovalchik (Casas). Although the members span from different parts of the country, the band is based out of the small progressive city Ithaca, in Upstate New York, and Pittsfield, MA. Escuela has been making a name for themselves through a prolific touring schedule and releases including: a self-released EP “Non Serviam”, splits with Reeking Cross (D.C.), and Disparo! (Australia), and a forthcoming full-length scheduled for release in 2018. Through punishingly short songs, Escuela delivers politically charged lyrics inspired by modern anxieties, unrest, and the roots of grindcore.
