Maxwell Scott Green (born December 15, 1984), better known as Max Green, is an American musician who is the former bassist/backing vocalist and one of the founders of the band Escape the Fate, and is the former rhythm guitarist and vocalist for the band The Natural Born Killers. He is currently the vocalist and rhythm guitarist for his own band, Violent New Breed.
Green was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and moved to Pahrump, Nevada, when he was in 4th grade. After living there for three years, he moved to Las Vegas, Nevada.
He has played guitar since his childhood and dreamed of becoming a professional musician. During his teenage years, Green began playing the bass guitar, inspired by the albums Progress, Resignation and ... And the Battle Begun by the band RX Bandits. He also learned to imitate Spencer Chamberlain's (singer of Underoath) screamed vocal technique. As a teenager, Green participated in several bands as a bassist. After meeting fellow musician Ronnie Radke in high school, the two formed the band True Story, which later formed into the first-lineup Escape The Fate.
Green is best known for his work in Escape the Fate. He left the band and joined Falling in Reverse. He is now the vocalist and founder of his new band called Violent New Breed.
Green formed Escape the Fate with Ronnie Radke and Bryan Money in mid-2002. After joining the post-hardcore music scene in Las Vegas, the band managed to win a contest to open up for My Chemical Romance which led to the band signing with Epitaph Records and recorded their first album, Dying Is Your Latest Fashion, which was released in September 2006. Following the expulsion of Ronnie Radke, the band replaced Radke when he was sent to prison, with Craig Mabbitt from Blessthefall, and released their second album, This War Is Ours. After many international tours, the band had garnered popularity worldwide and signed with major label Interscope Records. They made their major label debut with their third album, titled Escape the Fate, in November 2010.
