Artist description End of Days is a collaboration of varying styles and similar schools of music. Nate Blevins and Jeb King actually attended the same high school together, Nate a year behind Jeb. Although they were both heavily into music, and played in various bands and generas, their paths never crossed. It was only by accident (or fate) that15 years later, Jeb auditioned for a local friends band that Nate coincidentally played guitar for. A kinship was born almost immediately. It seemed apparent at the time that the two needed to find some time and write together to see just what would come of it. Out of these first few sessions, the Into Infinity ep was conceived and recorded over several months. Since those first few infant steps, End of Days has been making impressive strides. Honing their craft and letting their self-expression come to the forefront to shine.

Artist History ***Nate Blevins*** Studied music since age 10, he played violin in junior/senior high school orchestra. At about age 15, one day Nate discovered his dad's old electric guitar in attic and traded violin in for a Marshall amp. His mom (who originally bought him the violin) later nearly killed him for that. From that point on, Nate played in many original and cover bands around Philly PA and in upstate NY. Hes jammed with or has been an opening act for some notable bands: The Figgs (Columbia recording artists), Lughead (1997 Ticketmaster LA Showcase Band winner). Nate Blevins has played in various bands ranging from heavy metal to jazz, but rock (modern and classic) is still his favorite overall. ***Jeb King*** Born in Europe in the late 60's, Jeb King was always surrounded by music. Many, many artists and musical styles influenced him throughout his adolescence. He would spend long hours listening to the BBC and stacks of LPs, that his parents readily supplied him. Music was everywhere with everything from Coltrane and Monk to Mozart and Shostakovich. His parents were very supportive of his musical appreciation and encouraged him to learn all he could about various genres. Europe, at this time, was a melting pot for the fusion moment and rock and roll was just coming into it’s own and finding a foothold in the colonies. With everything going on around him, Jeb didnt feel he had to swear an allegiance to any one style, but rather would try to take a little from each and fuse them all together. He chose to envelop himself in the cool tones and warm feel of contemporary jazz and blues. Music is an expression of the soul and is born of feeling. This changes daily. Its this realization that has set imagination in motion. With most of his free-time occupied with immersing himself in music, Jeb became a quick study and excelled in many areas while attending public school in his home in Oxford. Receiving very favorable marks he found a kinship with most of the beat poets of the day. It was around this time that he moved with his family to the states just north of New York City. He quickly adapted to his new surroundings and became known for his musical ability and talent. He was very busy, often being involved with several groups at one time. But he always found time to seek solace in his writing. It was always nice to clear his mind of all the ideas that would dance around daily. In the summer he would spend his time being creative, while his friends would enjoy the warm sunny day outside, he was always busy fine-tuning his passion. It wasnt until his 8-grade year that all his hard work paid off and he was asked to play on a recording of a local artist. He went to Nashville to lay down tracks, an experience, which had a profound effect on him, and forever changed him. Through contacts made during these sessions, Jeb later found he could relate to several individuals and thought he had to collaborate with them. While searching the radio dial in the late 80's, it became painfully obvious that there was nothing out there that could satisfy Jebs musical tastes. Accepting this, he began to create his own music. Without any limit of genre or style, whatever he felt like playing he played. Certain things put him in different moods. Listening to Mozart could bring out a complex, almost surreal sound. While listening to top 40 could take a totally different direction from the previous incarnation. Over the years Jeb learned not to confine myself to musical genres. If someone likes one song of one particular genre, and maybe likes or dislikes another, well who am I to tell them they're wrong. People will like what they like behind closed doors, the trick is to have them bring it out in the open, to express themselves and not worry about what other people think. Music has A LOT of power, and it's all good.
