[we are] the end

Manchester based alt-rockers [ we are ] the end are a breath of fresh air in a scene long stagnant with clichés and carbon copy emo shenanigans! Melding powerful riffs, electronica, layered vocal harmonies, gentle introspection and sonic grooves, they are readying themselves for an all out assault on the music scene. Formed from the ashes of the acclaimed band Hollywood Ending (who enjoyed a brief burst of attention with their 2004 album 'Praying To Fiction' on Mighty Atom Records), We Are The End are a step further into the musical landscape.

Rell

Ladies may swoon over the tough-talking city boys, but in the end what they really want is an old-fashioned southern gentleman. A man who understands the importance of chivalry-- one who'll show up on the doorstep with a dozen long-stem roses just because, or will massage her feet after a long day at work. One who'll serve her favorite dinner by candlelight, or cater to her when she's sick.
