END IT Pay Homage to NYHC With Maximum Penalty Cover, "Could You Love Me?"

- By Ramon Gonzales -->

Vocalist Akil Godsey turns on the croon with a cult classic sevring as the final preview of the band's pending full length, Wrong Side of Heaven. 

The final a succession of potent preview singles from the band's soon-to-arrive full length, Wrong Side of Heaven, Baltimore hardcore crew END IT have delivered a proper tribute to their hardcore lineage ahead of the August 29th release. 

Following the effective string of singles in "Pale Horse," "Life Sublime" and "Optical Delusions" the final offering taps into the band's musical pedigree with a spot on rendition of Maximum Penalty's 1996 essential, "Could You Love Me?" Anchored by the soulful croon of Akil Godsey, END IT pays respect to the OGs while reintroducing the track to a new generation of fans. 

Working with director Noah Haycock, the music video frames END IT as the special musical guest for a retro-era variety show. Performing the track in-front of a live studio audience (which includes the a gold-toothed cameo from one Justice Tripp) the band sports white tuxedos while taking on a cover that seemed the perfect stylistic selection. 

 

Teaming with venerated producer Brian McTernan (Turnstile, Snapcase, Hot Water Music), the collective better developed their vision for the full length debut, sequestering themselves in the studio for two months earlier this year. Distilling a meld of essential hardcore, volatile thrash and seamless style points of soul, END IT have come out swinging on a debut LP years in the making. 

Paired with the launch of Wrong Side Of Heaven, End It have a full dance card of touring in lined up. First, the band embark on a North American tour starting in September with a run of shows supporting Superheaven. Additionally, END IT have confirmed their own headlining The Wrong Side Of Heaven Tour. The extensive trek features support from Ends Of Sanity, Soul Blind, Bracewar, Raw Brigade, Ozone, Clique, End Of Dayz, No Right, Hold My Own, and Cosmic Joke. Along the way, End It will support Blink-182 on two arena dates in Missouri.
