Press

“...They curiously have the ability to appeal to multiple groups of people, and seem to understand how to blend melody, dissonant and swirling, twangy guitar tones and punk drumming, not unlike The Meat Puppets, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth & Pixies. Truth is, they channel all these bands. However, unlike all of those bands, there’s a modern element here that feels like mathcore but sounds like noise; technical pop that feels scathing but sounds like jamming alt-rock ... It’s alarmingly satisfying from start to finish ... For the uninitiated, EndAnd are making some waves right now and should be investigated if poppy vocals, mathy punk drumming, angular, dissonant riffs and primal yells are your thing. On this particular album, they have proven that they are more than just a simple punk band, and deserve the praise that has followed them thus far. ”

— Chris Cilliers, THE DOUGHNUT Mag

“The first thing to hit me about EndAnd was the technicality of the drumming and inventive melodies...Throughout The Mechanics and Energetics of Stilt-Running there are emotional lyrics which hint of anger and vulnerability, of loss and a lack of control, woven into the abrasive beauty of the music. The whole experience is short but sweet, leaving me with the taste of Mudhoney crossed with a dash of Hella for good measure.... Overall I really like this EndAnd. They caught me unaware and I’m glad they did. Every release has been strong in its own right and they really know how to channel their inspirations without coming across as derivative. These guys are supremely talented musicians, there’s no excuse to let them pass you by as all their music thus far is released for free on Bandcamp (but you should throw some money their way). Looking forward to the next release and possibly seeing them one day if they grace British shores!”

— Robbie, Indie Bands Blog

“EndAnd has quite the eclectic style of noisey punk rock. After releasing their two EPs (Adventures in Lo-Fi/Hi-Fi) last summer, the Brooklyn-based trio has found that sweet spot to produce a noise punk album that just barely transcends the sludged out sound of stoner-metal as well as the instrumental intricacies of metal ... Mechanics & Energetics of Stilt-Running is a great departure from some styles heard on last year’s Adventures EPs. Especially with being a debut, EndAnd gripped onto the best aspects of their original sound, got way mean and way aggressive, and put their creativity on full blast ... EndAnd ended up with a uniquely badass LP.”

— RYAN G, I Am Tuned Up

“...with styles ranging from fast, angry punk to catchy melodic rock, Mechanics makes for a blur of a journey through a variety of styles that EndAnd is completely in control of. between the passion evident in the vocals and the cohesive elements of the instrumentation, you can tell that these three guys love to jam together as EndAnd, which ultimately is the best quality of Mechanics & Energetics of Stilt-Running – the connection. ... Mechanics & Energetics of Stilt-Running is a great introduction with a lot of promise from this Brooklyn outfit. Displaying their talents individually as well as their ability to meld effectively as a band, EndAnd have shown that they are a punk force to keep an eye on. With progression and focus, they’ll be on all dates of the popular festival tours in no time.”

— Brian Lion, UNDER THE GUN REVIEW

"On their new full length album release “Mechanics and Energetics of Stilt-Running” released on April 30, 2013, the band has delivered a cohesive sounding album that should please their fans... They have recorded an alluring mix of melodic guitar playing, fuzz toned punk chops, and a driving rhythm section throughout the album... I hope the band gets some serious airplay for “Strong” because it really deserves to be heard by the masses."

— Feedback Fury

“From start to finish EndAnd have produced an album which pushes the boundaries of what should be achievable, should be possible, and should be found on an album like this. There are moments which will sit you back and make you think, moments which will make you want to get up and dance, and moments which will simply show you what music can sound like when it’s done well. Sure there’s a serious 90’s influence running through things a lot of the time but it works, and is the sort of thing which is about ready for a return any time now.”

— Dave Nicholls, Loud-Stuff

“With one album to their name, a second in the making, and already a sizeable fan base, EndAnd are the outsiders to keep an eye on. Thoughtfully split between polished recordings and DIY methods, their Adventures of Fi in Space cross the paths of bands like Nirvana or Queens of the Stone Age, finding on their way this tricky balance between aesthetic satisfaction, pop sensibility, and a dedication to hard rocking. Pulling through power chords and fuzzed-up weirdness with a strongly disarming sensitivity, they've managed to reach some unexplored confines of 90s heritage, off the beaten tracks, where everything you thought you knew just suddenly sounds a little peculiar.”

— Tracy Mamoun, The Deli - Deli Magazine

"...Adventures of Fi in Space is a healthy mixture of pop, noise rock and punk rock tracks. The variation of sounds on this album is what keeps the listener engaged right till the final piece (or should I say space adventure) ... Overall, Adventures of Fi in Space is a very enjoyable piece that makes use of a large palette of colors, which the band showcases in their vast musical array of songs. Nine songs to be exact- that just fit together effortlessly."

— Red House Reviews

“Do you like to rawk out? EndAnd will fill that need! EndAnd is a Brooklyn based band made up of Daniel Fern (guitars/vox) Bill Fitzgerald (bass/vox) & Mike Morales (drums). They are your “go to” garage rock/noise band that revive what seems to have slipped away from the scene in the past few years. Their compilation EP, Adventures of Hi-Fi in Space showcase their desire to share passionate rock with seriously distorted guitars, fuzzy vocals, solid percussion and phat bass which all combine perfectly to create the blend that is EndAnd. The EP is alarming, yet charming and might just end up on repeat. Remember The Pixies, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin and *Stellastar? That’s what we’re talkin’ ’bout. And, for more contemporary comparisons, if you like The Wavves, Deerhunter or Cloud Nothings, you’ll love EndAnd. While already working on a 2nd full-length CD Mechanics & Energetics of Stilt-Running, along with planning tour dates for 2012-2013, you can catch them performing at CMJ.”

“...Brooklyn’s EndAnd announced the release of a brand new LP titled Adventures of Fi in Space, which features contributions from members of Generator Ohm, The Stink, We Are Augustines and many more. The band has been gaining some serious momentum over the past year thanks to a word-of-mouth buzz and a unique sound that draws in influences from the punk, math punk and garage rock genres; (they’ve even been compared to giants like The Pixies, Guided By Voices, Wavves and Cloud Nothings). Their most recent LP Adventures of Fi in Space is actually a summation of two separate EPs (Adventures of Hi-Fi in Space and Adventures of Lo-Fi in Space), and some of the many famous musicians who are featured on the album include Ernest D’Amaso and Willie Cheson of Generator Ohm, Dan Kramer of The Stink and Robert Allan of We Are Augustines. The band just debuted a brand new music video for “Commando” last month, but the kick ass Frank Black-ish track “So What Now” also deserves a good li”

— Rex Manning Day - RMDMusic Blog

“I am very pleased to announce that I have been made into a believer, and that a band can wear more than one hat at a time. I know this may sound cliché, but this group has bridged the barriers of theory and have created a true variant of sound that is timeless yet also has direct connection to their influences... With songs that cross over and blend in styling that I have yet to find a term to define, their music is direct, poignant and in your ears, with driving beats and rhythms, I find myself drawn in, the lyrics are also well-defined and everything is well mixed and produced, no over sampling or muddy messes of “sludge”, which is music that is so dull it has to be special effected out of existence... their compositions span both time and space, a unique vision in the music creativity and teasing the senses... Adventures of Hi-Fi and Lo-Fi in Space is a fitting title, the album is a rollercoaster of musical styling and emotion.”

— Joseph Timmons, XOMBIEWOOF Magazine

“Underground punk and rock fans will love what they’ve done here with a combination of well-produced and demo material being presented. After all, the genres this band is catering to are not looking for homogenized rock. “Far in Between” might make you think you’re dealing with a pop band, but as the album continues, you realize it’s just smart pop sensibility. Much like their heroes Nirvana, EndAnd know how to put a solid song together and still make a racket. “Commando” is possibly it’s evil twin, with raspy, screaming vocals and full-bore guitars of pure sludge. The rhythm section is extremely tight. Think early Helmet. There is a lot to dig into here. “Death Song” recalls the Hives and the Stooges, with it’s catchy and aggressive lo-fi punk. “Labor Force” is pure Guided by Voices and Fugazi; it’s a strange direction that once again flexes the band’s songwriting muscle. “Adventures of Fi in Space” is a solid and interesting effort from a young band”

— Ryan Smith - All Access Magazine, http://allaccessmagazine.com/2012/08/23/endand/

"Adventures of Fi in Space is a scintillating debut album. EndAnd are already more than just a promising band as the promise has been delivered. Keep both eyes and ears on this band. 4/5"

— Chris, The Small Takeover

“If there’s one thing that EndAnd prove on Adventures of Fi In Space, it’s that going back to the pure basics of rock music can sometimes prove to be the best idea a band could ever have. Split in to two parts (hi and lo), Adventures of Fi In Space is a mixture of garage rock, punk and early 90s grunge. The ‘hi-fi’ side of things is exceptionally great. Far In Between gets things going with an impressionable start – a pure, garage rock sound which could not be any more perfect if EndAnd tried. Labor Force has a more mellow tinge to it but the passion, energy and determination that the band showed on the opening is still shown as they progress through the record, especially in the epic shortlived So What Now. Take Alice In Chains, mix in some Weezer and throw in a little bit of Garbage for good measure and you’ll just about get what the hell it is that EndAnd is all about.”

— Michael, Rock Reviews 24/7

"Bottom line: This is a great fucking record bringing back old memories of *Stellastar, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, The Pixies, and all the other great 90’s bands that have long been forgotten. They join contemporaries such as Cloud Nothings and Wavves that are trying to bring that sound back. This album has been on repeat on my iPod for a week now and I recommend you go get it and do the same."

— Indie Band Guru

“Locals EndAnd come off as ’90s revivalists, nodding to Nirvana and Weezer but mostly answering to their own weird muse. Their scrappy, fuzzed-out rock is part anthemic, part loopy and all passionate.”

— TIME OUT NY

"Noisy they may seem, with a wave of fuzzy vocals floating in and out of the beautifully distorted guitar, gritty, yet playful drumming and incredibly solid and steadfast bass grooves, EndAnd attacks their LP with a sense of urgency and honest DIY principles that finds its trajectory along a path that coincides with indie rock gods, such as the experimental lo-fi master, Wavves, but also, at times, the noisiness of Deerhunter. With bouts of haunting guitars and feathery vocals, Daniel Fern and the boys of EndAnd are definitely pushing the barrier by balancing songs with Dignan-esque vocals such as, “Dawi” and personal favorite, “When and There”, which provides the obvious chord experimentation, poignant rhythms breakdowns, a brazen and ripping guitar solo, and straining passionate vocals while still maintaining the shimmering qualities of a flowing indie guitar rock band."

— Matt Walter, Adequacy.net - Indie Music Reviews

"This is Garage Rock, with one leg back to the 70′s and the other kicking into the future, merging Noise and Alternative Rock influences, blinking with an eye to Psychedelia, but adding some Punk attitude and “no future” easiness, they delivering raw, biting, but definitively tasty and smartly layered mixture of Garage/Punk Rock where gentle melodies, smoothly played chords are make an efficient pair with the overdrives and driving, energetic riffs, pounding drums and buzzing basses... This is an adventure, and this trip of sound it’s actually a very joyful one and unavoidably, at the end you will hit the play button again. And there is no better prove for a quality product then this!! And definitively, EndAnd it’s a name to remember."

— Brushvox

"The swirling wall of sound that hits listeners will have fans salivating for the next effort by EndAnd ... the band does not allow listeners to gain their breath as they immediately kick into high gear ... Pick up a copy of Adventures of Fi in Space and see exactly how eclectic EndAnd is; I would love to see the sort of controlled fury that they can wreak on a full-length effort. See the band live, check out any recordings they may release, and you can get on the ground floor of a band that is looking to shake up current music."

— James McQuiston, Neufutur.com

“First up is a track called Far in Between an MP3 by a band called EndAnd from their album Adventures of Fi in Space This trio is from epicenter known as Brooklyn. They are a anti-keyboard rock-band. Yes, this is what I’m talking about. Shoegazer distortion meets indie on this very first short ditty will beg you to listen to the rest. Good fucking loud shit like Blur meets Bluetip. Name your price on their bandcamp page and give them 5 bux.”

— Emily White - NPR, REVIEW STALKER

“The instruments are perfectly poppy and crunchy and stuff, while the voice perhaps ventures beyond the outer limits of da popperhood by an ooch. But so what? and bravo! and death to anyone who. . .oops, sorry, carried away. (Judging from his Comment, we're pretty sure our man John B. won't object at all and might well add a bravo or two of his own.) Here are our two favorites from the five-song EP, Adventures of Hi-Fi in Space, available for free download at Bandcamp.”

— Powerpopulist

"Although "Adventures of Fi in Space" is technically a re-release... it feels fresh, especially on the album standout "Commando", where the band sound like a true force to be reckoned with both lyrically and sonically. The track has a "heart on the sleeve" feel, managing to be both aggressive and vulnerable at the same time, and the musical chaos is among the most dissonant and satisfying I've heard this side of "Strap it On' era Helmet. The band's pop muscles flex on the album, too, showing obvious influences from acts like Nirvana and Weezer. Where EndAnd really excels, though, is when they go full bore and unite the pop sensibility with a bit more chaos. "So What Now" is a one-and-a-half minute kick to the face, and another memorable one. Overall, this release shows a lot of potential and should gain the band a well-deserved underground rock and punk fanbase."

— Sputnik Music

“We’ve seen them before (though not enough); musical communities that use the act of sharing music as a form of therapy – bouncing ideas, rhythms, lyrics off one another in a process that typically equals out to better, more heartfelt music. We’re noticing a musical collective forming in Brooklyn, New York at King Killer Studios, home of our latest feature, 3-piece rock outfit EndAnd. Daniel Fern, Bill Fitzgerald and Mike Morales aren’t the only ones responsible for the tunes on their latest release, “Adventures of Fi in Space” – just about every member of the collective has a part to call their own on the record, an album inspired by some of PEV’s favorite music. Fern says “While most bands went back to the 70′s and 80′s, we picked up from where good music officially ended, the early late 90′s.” Hell. Yes.”

— Richie Frieman, PensEyeView - Featured Artist

“If the meteoric rise and online buzz of noisy rock acts like Cloud Nothings and A Place to Bury Strangers, ...the 17 year reign of indie pop and "hipster folk" may be showing signs of strain. 2012 has been, surprisingly and all of a sudden, welcoming to a grittier and more honest form of rock not heard since the days of Nirvana, The Melvins and the Pixies. Championing both aggression and pop sensibility are Brooklyn's fast-rising rock/punk trio EndAnd, whose new release "Adventures of Fi in Space" delivers punishing walls of sound reminiscent of early Helmet and Fugazi. The band's new album is a summation of two EP's showcasing both polished studio and DIY recordings. This respect for the unpolished is another unusual attribute that sets the band apart. A community effort to be sure, Ernest D'Amaso and Willie Chen of Generator Ohm, Dan Kramer of The Stink, and Robert Allan of We Are Augustines are among the many that contributed to the album.”

— K Rag on BL Rag, The BL Rag

“New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ EndAnd official website) Hard rock/noise rock group EndAnd's new music video for "Commando" finds the band travelling in space alone to communicate the human condition. "Commando" is the first single taken from EndAnd's 2012 CD "Adventures of Fi in Space", a compilation of 2 EP's, one using modern recording and one using DIY underground methods. Since it's June release the album has been well-received, getting nods from influential publications like Delusions of Adequacy, Large Hearted Boy and Those Who Dig. Band members Daniel Fern (guitars/vocals), Bill Fitzgerald (bass/vocals), and Mike Morales (drums) are already at work on a 2nd full-length CD "Mechanics & Energetics of Stilt-Running" as well as planning tour dates for 2012-2013. The band have launched a Kickstarter campaign where fans can pledge to support the upcoming release and tour.”

"Last but definitely not least is Brooklyn noise rock band EndAnd, who are currently promoting their new release “Adventures of Fi in Space”, which is about as much of a strong entrance as I’ve heard from an independent group. They sit somewhere between Fugazi and the Melvins. Their sound is both daring and exciting, and it’s more proof that a select number of bands are hitting the mark at the right time to give rock music a sort of revival."

— rockisrock.wordpress.com, ROCK IS ROCK - Noisy Rock Is Back

"These guys encompass a few different sounds. They can seem, at times, like a punk band as the vocals take a detour from melodic to manic but then weave their way back into a a more commercial rock sound in the later tracks... Amassing a fan club of over 5,000 people on Facebook, these boys definitely have appeal... As a combined LP, 'Adventures of Hi-Fi in Space' promises to be a big success. These Brooklyn boys aren't afraid to mix it up and the accomplished writing skills of this group of guys suggest that EndAnd's future looks very bright. 4.9 / 5."

— Garreth MacNamee - M R Unsigned, MR Unsigned - Music Review Unsigned

"Hints of Helmet and The Pixies come through like bubbles on your tongue when you drink a soda pop. The songs from “Adventures in Hi-Fi Space” were meant to be played loud. Your neighbors will thank you. Sounds like orange cars and pool parties"

— Sean of New Music Releases, Bands You Should Know 3 - newmusicrelease.net

"Suffice to say that ENDAND make a pretty delightful racket that swings between the sounds of Weezer, and a more generic grunge feel. They’ve definitely got something"

— LOUD HORIZON

"It rocks hard and has big hooks, along the lines of a band like the Pixies for instance. Crazy energy and charm. I'm digging it."

— Steve, Those Who Dig

"EndAnd, a rock/punk trio from Brooklyn New York, U.S.A. have released a new album combining two EP's. This release is kind of like a tale of two cities, the first EP, "Adventures Of Hi-FI In Space" features five songs of hard hitting music that features the unique voice of vocalist/guitar player - Daniel Fern. Rounding out the band are bass player Bill Fitzgerald and drummer Mike Morales. Daniel's voice reminds me of a cross between Gavin Rossdale of Bush and Andy Partirdge of XTC. The killer track is "Commando". It features a blistering electric guitar hook that jumps out of the speakers. The bass playing of Bill and drum playing of Mike are so well hooked together, you feel like you are right there in the front row of a live EndAnd show. The production quality is really good and I love the tone of the guitar and the melodic phrasing by Daniel. His voice really stands out with a unique styling that I have not heard in a long time."

— Feedback Fury

"Brooklyn rock trio EndAnd release Adventures of Fi in Space to critical acclaim. Brooklyn indie rock/punk trio EndAnd have announced the release of “Adventures of Fi in Space”, a summation of two EP’s showcasing both polished studio and DIY recordings. The band’s unusually gritty sound has earned them recommendations on influential music blogs such as Large Hearted Boy and Those Who Dig and comparisons to acts like Cloud Nothings and Helmet."

— killthemusic.net, Kill the Music

"This is a very enjoyable album from this band and if you are a punk fan-not a pop/punk fan this is an album I cannot suggest more... This is easily one of my favorite releases of the year so far."

— Anthony Nadeau, Behind The Scenes

"If you enjoy alternative and punk rock music, then I think you should give EndAnd a try."

— Lesley Aeschliman, AeschTunes
