If you were a fan of hardcore or metal music in the 2010s, you definitely knew about Power Trip. The Texas thrash band made a huge impact with their intense live shows and powerful music. Sadly, in August 2020, the band’s lead singer, Riley Gale, passed away at a young age. This was a devastating blow to fans and the music community as a whole.

However, guitarist Blake Ibanez, one of the founding members of Power Trip, decided to keep the music alive. In 2022, he formed a new band called Fugitive with members from other Texas bands. Their debut EP, “Maniac,” was released that summer and showcased their aggressive crossover thrash sound. The band quickly gained attention and released a seven-inch in 2023, featuring even more intense tracks.
