Escape Route 36 (also known as ER36) is a band of five 15 year old students from Oathall Community College, Haywards Heath, UK.
Josie Charlwood is on keyboards and vocals, Ben Fadero on lead guitar, Jack Partridge on rhythm guitar, Joel Hardingham on bass guitar and Ben Waggett is on drums and percussion.
The band, which originally formed in November 2007 have played live gigs and have been playing locally in Sussex from September 2009.
From January to May 2009 ER36 set about recording their debut album, "No Divider" which was released in July 2009.
No Divider is a collection of ten totally original and varied songs. All the songs were written by Josie Charlwood except 'Stuck in Reverse' and 'Simplicity Refined' which were written jointly by lead guitarist Ben Fadero and Josie.
Warren Angelo, radio presenter from Sussex’s Bright FM Radio, who formerly ran a record label himself, said to ER36:
"I love your album No Divider, it's a really interesting collection of songs and one to be really proud of. Josie's vocals are entrancing and captivating, excellent style/delivery. Song lyrics and arrangements are very clever and lock-in the listener. Beats & rhythms nice & funky/jazzy and hypnotic at times creating a real draw into the songs."
No Divider is available on download from iTunes and on CD from the band’s web site
www.er36.com and from the shops Rockability and Carousel Music in Haywards Heath.

Roland/Sonar Producer Forum
"Well. I'll be. That's just awesome. Sounds GREAT to me... I love her straight-up honest voice"
"I really, really, like these songs, the arrangements, the vocals, the instruments. In my opinion, this album is far better than a lot of the stuff currently available on the market. In fact, I just bought this album off ITunes and I am looking forward to listening to the whole thing. Congrats on a great job to everyone!"
"I'm even more impressed by the talent of this young group. What an incredible future they have ahead of them. How is it possible that such young adults can develop such an enormous amount of musical talent so early in life? I'm stunned!"
"Good... God... How long have the lead guitarist and drummer been playing? I think I'll be buying a copy of this album. Would all the kids be kind enough to sign it so I can put that in my collection of 'before they were big' signed CDs?"
