Press Reviews This End Up's debut release, "Where's Tomorrow", is "generic pop-punk" at its best. With comedic tracks like "What If She's A Guy" and "22 Dollars" and more serious ones like "Just Like You" and "Invisible" this album does not disappoint. You can only take so many pop-punk albums where every single song is about a girl, especially since they start to seem faked after a while. On the same line, who wants a CD that is not at all serious, who is going to relate to that? The world is what it is because of compromise and that definitely holds true for this album. The first track "Goodbye" (notice the irony) starts out acoustic and then blasts into full rock mode (think "Broken Sound" by NFG but much less acoustic and much more rock). As stupid as the song really is, you cannot help but fall in love with "What If She's A Guy". The 'single' from the album is "Homemade Heroes," I've yet to figure out if the song actually has hidden meaning, but I do know that I love it. My favorite track has got to be "Just Like You" a romantic little ditty about actually finding the girl you've always had in your head. I am also particularly fond of the fast paced "Yesterday," it reminds me of Allister but even faster and louder. The album closes with the emotional "Invisible" because who in their right mind doesn't close their album with a sad song. It's just too perfect. I think everyone needs to check this CD out because the band shows a lot of potential. Their music isn't going to change the world, but if every band was trying to, then we would just live in chaos. Sure, they are another "pop-punk" band but at least they do it right unlike most of them. If nothing else, Where's Tomorrow, has proved that the term "pop-punk" doesn't always have to be a bad thing. - Jake Wallace (www.absolutepunk.net)ol ◊
