- Default Title
Description
Proudly standing as the only band we have ever signed from an unsolicited demo, By The End Of Tonight is a young four-piece from a tiny town just south of Houston called Alvin. They are also the only band we ve ever signed whose drummer plays a kit designed for a toddler, without irony. As with many great bands, this one almost literally came out of nowhere and brought with them the most mind-bending combination of sounds we ve heard since that dream that I had about Don Caballero and Botch playing a hillbilly ho-down with The Police. The technical gymnastics are there in spades, so much so that it s not even worth talking about. It s like telling a crowded room that you re naked. Not so obvious right away, however, is the pion with which this EP unfurls. Beginning like a twisted prog-rock Georgia stomp, the four songs here are equal parts hardcore, speed metal, jazz breaks, epic avant-rock and sentimental 80s soundtracks. It s a refreshing change of pace for a scene so saturated with one-trick ponies. Plus, it s loads of fun trying to guess which 80s songs some of these riffs were lifted from.
