Artist History
end on end formed in the fall of 1998 in Los Angeles, CA. The band originally consisted of five members: Andy Kindon filled the vocal duties, Jeff Mora and Tony Lee both played guitar, Josh Spincic played the bass guitar, and Phil Drazic played the drums. Tony left the band in the summer of 1999 to pursue a career in golf (no kidding!). Andy, Jeff, Josh, and Phil continued on as a four-piece until summer 2000. During this time the band recorded their debut album with This Guy Records and first started playing shows outside of LA. In August 2000 Phil switched to playing second guitar and the band drafted Dom Atoigue in to take over Phil's place on drums. In April 2001 Jeff Mora decided to leave the band, and Jason Tooley took his place shortly thereafter. ////////// For a more extensive band biography, visit the official end on end website at www.endonend.com. |

Press Reviews
"So is it me or does Substandard have a monopoly on all the good hardcore bands in the west? End on End argues my point with a great collection of politically potent songs that will shake the complacency on the most jaded of hearts. Fiery guitars and absolutely brutal drums lay down the tracks for a throat of razorblades. Deep and heavy is such a beautiful combination." - Impact Press
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"As the song titles suggest--"Have You Ever Heard of Victor Jara," "All Hail the New Esperanto" and "The More You Consume"--End on End specialize in fiercely played, intelligently scripted emocore with a heavy metal influence and raging, literate left-wing vibe. Considering the sheer
number of underground band out there -- Boy Sets Fire, Blood for Blood, For All It's Worth, This Computer Kills -- kicking the doors down with this style of music, it's nice to see one from the pack take some serious chances." - The Big Takeover
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"Substandard Records has been pumping out astonishing hardcore bands, and End on End is no exception. Like a lot of politically driven hardcore bands, they capture that explosive sense of revolutionism. But behind all the anger, there's an intense emotional backdrop with this band. The pain of everything that we all feel in life is released on End on End's second full length Why Evolve When You Can Go Sideways? They make you look towards the future and realize that you have to discover yourself and find your own truths… very thought provoking in a lot of respects... From listening to this CD and feeling their intensity, I can only imagine how great their live show must be. This album is one of the best new hardcore albums that I've listened to. It's not everyday you hear a real political hardcore band pull off adding indie emo elements, and you can really feel the passion that the band wants to convey. But you don't get caught up in anything mushy with these guys." - Delusions of Adequacy webzine
