The Escape Club - Dollars And Sex
Review by Salwa AbdelTawab
Escape Club's album Dollars and Sex is a tour de force of 80s new wave and rock influences. The band's signature sound is front and center on this album, with catchy hooks and driving rhythms that will have listeners dancing along in no time.
The album's title track, "Dollars and Sex," is a standout, with its infectious chorus and driving guitar riffs. Other highlights include "Walking Through Walls," which features a soaring chorus and a memorable guitar solo, and "Goodbye Joey Rae," a heartfelt ballad that showcases the band's softer side.

About The Escape Club
The band formed in 1983, comprising Mad Shadows members lead singer/rhythm guitarist Trevor Steel and guitarist John Holliday, along with former Expressos members bassist Johnnie Christo (a.k.a. John Christoforou) and drummer Milan Zekavica.
The seeds for the formation of The Escape Club were sown when Zekavica joined Steel and Holliday in Mad Shadows, who subsequently performed on an album by the obscure early 1980s Stephen Milford-fronted new wave outfit Planning by Numbers.
Before long, Christo had also joined the lineup, and The Escape Club was born and the fledgling band quickly released the single "Breathing".
In 1985 The Escape Club signed with EMI and recorded the album White Fields, which was released the following year.
In 1987, the group moved to Atlantic Records and began recording their next album, Wild Wild West, and the album was released in the summer of 1988 and spawned the single "Wild, Wild West

Looking through the comments here, I guess I wasn't the only person who saw this video as a teenager and wondered why this wasn't a huge hit. Should've been bigger than wild wild west.

Remember being a child when this hit came out in the radio, I tape recorded and listen to it daily. I thought it was a heavy metal song but when I grew up I realized that it was a disco-danceable hit. Nevertheless it rocked. Great song.

I'm a german and wonder me again and again why to hell this was not on the screen on MTV german and VIVA german ?

Who's the dude who does the Jamaican patois? If that's what it is? All I know is it's very pleasing to my ears and I want to listen to this on repeat. I am a fan!
2023-04-08
I bought this tape and then the cd for I'll be there...but the rest of the album over shadows that song!

I don't care what a few people say out there, I'm not embarrassed to say that I thought the escape club was a pretty cool band back in the day and I enjoyed listening to them. They had some great songs too. It's a shame a lot of these good bands like this aren't around today. Here's to great memories and great times ??????

On a quality stereo this song great intro at least for its time, and probably still today, would never listen to rest. Save up for expensive speakers.
