Exit Strategy: Tied Down 2025

Exit Strategy is the first band metal(ish) band I get to review for this series. I don’t know much about these guys but after listening to some of their tracks and watching live videos of their performances, I am ready for a wild set at Tied Down. With a very obvious death metal influence, these guys truly bring some face melting riffs and vocals that will have fools windmilling and (as seen in the pit at their performance at Hammer & Nail Fest) throwing venue furniture around. Exit Strategy brings true emotion, love, and brotherhood to every one of their sets, so be prepared to feel something real while banging your head.

Exit Strategy formed in 2018, and although their discography isn’t very big, they hold nothing back with each track they release.

Exit Strategy will be playing Tied Down for the first time in 2025 and their presence will be known. Come out and see what the 813 has in store for Detroit.
