Yes, I have a lot more songs. They will be on the next record. We will start recording that at the end of this year. Does any movie or television show get close to the reality of prison? Well, maybe the reality shows like Lockup. But a lot of stuff is fabricated. In there, it's serious.

There were some dangerous times in there. I was in there two-and-a-half years. Were there times where you thought your life was in danger? Yes, of course. I had to defend myself a couple of times. The new album sold 18, units in one week. Did that make it a pleasant return to music? I was so relieved. I could not believe it. I was so stoked when the album sold so well.

It was amazing. The video was on the cover of YouTube. All of our videos have gotten a lot of views. It is amazing.

Are you on your third bassist? No, there have only been two. Actually, I would say there has only been one, as the first guy [Nason Schoeffler] couldn't really play. He was more like a friend who lied about playing bass. I don't know why. I was in jail and he told me he could play. Then I got out and found out that he couldn't, so I had to find another bass player.

There have been seven ex-members of your band. Are you difficult to work with? No, I'm not. It's just that I was in prison and all these people were saying that they were part of the band.

I didn't have any control over it. When I got out, things changed. Must be pretty rad … I would know… Don't get used to it. When I get out, there won't be much left for you to live in cause the real deal will be back … But hey, maybe you could sing back up in my band!!

How was Radke even able to hear about the relationship while in prison? Maybe he saw it on YouTube? You must not remember the day we were all at Omars and you all walk in with your sea shell necklaces and Quicksilver t-shirts! Escape The Fate began distancing themselves from Radke. When the band entered the studio with producer John Feldman the Used, Atreyu to record their first post-Radke album, they were less-than-prepared.

Give me riffs. Give me hooks. Naturally, Radke had strong opinions about the album, which he adamantly explained in his first interview from prison:. It was around this time that Radke did what any imprisoned singer would do: start a band. They were basically just a Myspace page with attitude and a future promise.

Time passed. Escape The Fate toured. Things were beginning to boil over again.
