The Exit Strategy™ <theexitstrategy>
"Passing You By On The Nearside"


We've been on the go for a while now without playing live, but we're hoping to be gigging before the end of the year. We mostly play original material, many of our songs have a distinctive grungy bite, but there's plenty of variety in there.
You may want to check our small selection of songs below. Unfortunately we haven't gotten round to recording vocals for most of the songs - hopefully they'll arrive soon.

The current line-up consists of:

Alan Wright - Lead Vocals, Lyrics

    Alright guys, hows it goin? saw your ad on aberdeen music for a bassist.

    er well i'm one..played for 5 years (i think), have my own gear and transport. i've played a fair few gigs in my time, did some recording etc.

    i'm heavily influenced by Tim C from RATM, Geddy Lee (rush) and tons others.

    i am currently in another band but its a different style. I can also do some singing and some guitar (ha but i admit im shite:P )

    so yeah get back to me if you'd be interested in a jam or something?

    Register with www.aberdeen-music.com to try and find a bass player! Needs to be done! The songs sound awesome, would be a bit shit not to finish off the line-up

    Btw, go to www.myspace.com/graniteruin and check out my band :P

    Guys, sorry to tell you this but there's already an american band called The Exit Strategy - myspace page is here: http://www.myspace.com/theexitstrategy and website here: http://www.theexitstrategy.org/. I thought I should let you know. Sounding pretty cool though, I hope you sort out some new members! Don't think I would have the time or skills!

    In years to come people will wonder what might the exit strategy have become. Then they will all disagree about what the exit strategy is some say its a cat, others a band, someone even thought it was a type of lettuce! (this person was an idiot) But whatever the exit stratergy is/was everyone agreed they/it was fun and slighty vibrant.

    i am thinking a heart balloons might be a bad idea, looks a bit weedy and well possibly gay

    A heart baloon isn't very "rock n roll" is it? :)

    you already shorting your name to the tes!! too much to soon only esrtablished bands can do that. sfa, msp etc etc..people would actually think you were called tes and wander why you took the second s from the name of guitarist away and why you named your band after her. sorry donnie only a (misguided) joke
