Escanaba Firing Line is an American rock band formed in Traverse City, Michigan in 2002, by brothers Jesse and Ryan Younce. Shortly after the bands conception they were joined by bassist Chris Davies and drummer Chad Sturdivant.[1][2]

They take their name after the city of Escanaba, located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
