The Escape Club

The Escape Club are an English pop rock band composed of former Mad Shadows members' lead singer, rhythm guitarist Trevor Steel and guitarist John Holliday, along with former Expressos members bassist Johnnie Christo and drummer Milan Zekavica.

In 1986, The Escape Club released the album White Fields followed by their next album, Wild Wild West in the summer of 1988. "Wild, Wild West", climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the song's distinctive video received a lot of MTV airplay. However it was banned from being used in their homeland for being allegedly sexist and offensive.

In 1989, they released "Shake for the Sheik," which climbed to No. 28, and "Walking Through Walls," which peaked at No. 81. The Escape Club's cover single of The Doors' "20th Century Fox" appeared on the The Wonder Years: Music From the Emmy Award-Winning Show & Its Era,.

In March 1991, the band released their final album, Dollars & Sex, with the singles included "Call It Poison" and "I'll Be There", which reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved gold status in the U.S.

The group disbanded in 1992. The Escape Club is the only British band to have a No. 1 hit in the U.S., while not charting at all in the UK.

Trevor Steel and John Holliday reunited in 2009 for a new album and a handful of live shows, and released a new studio album, Celebrity, in February 2012.
