" Rocks The Ozzfest
"

Miami-based Endo was as pleased to see the crowd as they
were to see them. They offered up "Malice,'' "Leave Us Alone'' and
other songs in a tight, fun performance and the mosh pit answered with renewed
energy. Endo's laid a nu metal blueprint with their 2001 release Evolve. On
their new release, Songs For The Restless, the quartet crumpled up those plans
and started again. The new release on "Songs for the Restless" sees
Gil Bitton singing rather than rapping and screaming decidedly less. While
vocalists that change their style isn't anything rare, ones that manage to do
it for the better are few and far between. Bitton's singing is clean, pure and
a pleasure to listen to. Throughout many of the songs, Bitton comes across
smooth and with heart. With the emotional vocals and wide open rock sound, Endo
has stepped away from its nu metal sound and firmly into the emo-tinged
post-grunge scene. The few thick metal chords and screams differentiate the
group from other bands like Outspoken and Oleander. All of Endo's new tracks
fit in that three-four minute range that radio stations love. Florida's Endo
has truly taken their music to the next level. During Ozzfest 2003 the band may
face a few 'old school' fans that reject their new sound, but they are sure to
find a majority of new fans that will embrace it. Simple Lies," the first
single from Endo's sophomore Songs For the Restless album, will finally hit
radio airwaves July 29th. It can also be found on the "Daredevil"
movie soundtrack album released earlier this year. Slow, fast, hard, soft,
crunchy guitars, acoustic guitars, Songs For the Restless plays like a heart
monitor; a steady groove accentuated by the lowest valleys and the highest
peaks, always when you need them, always at just the right time." And East
Coast Romper concluded: "The music is dark, seductive and guides you
through the peaks and valleys of the soundscapes that are displayed through
each and every track. Their first single, 'Simple Lies,' conjures up an
ambiance that is overwhelming…The chorus surges with melodic and alluring
sensations…I'm seriously fully blown away with what Endo has captured in
this new disc…Endo looks like another favorite in 2003 to cut loose."
