Dying Is Your Latest Fashion is the debutstudio album by American rock bandEscape the Fate, released on September 26, 2006 on Epitaph Records. The origin of the album's title comes from a line in the chorus of the song "Situations". It contains nine new songs plus two songs taken from There's No Sympathy for the Dead. "Not Good Enough for Truth In Cliché" and "Situations" were released as singles, with music videos being made for both. It is the only full-length album and second release with original singer and founding member Ronnie Radke. Ronnie would later be incarcerated and kicked out of the band. He is currently the frontman for Falling in Reverse. It is also the last release to feature rhythm guitaristOmar Espinosa and keyboardist/vocalist Carson Allen. As of 2014 drummer Robert Ortiz is the only member still with the band as both Monte Money and Max Green had recently left the band in 2013 and 2014 respectively. Mandy Murders, who had in the past dated Ronnie Radke, modeled for the cover art.
