Music: Rock

Country: U.S.A.
Cool songs: Poison, Road to Destruction

This band actually has nothing in common with metal, whatsoever. Fascinated by the 70’s and 80’s rock scene the guys decided to play something similar, probably for fun and as a tribute. ‘Kiss or Kill’ is their first full-length album.

This release is a very light proposition, a kind of extremely soft metal (sic!), a kind of harder pop rock. But one is for sure – it is not a stupid compilation for brainless teenagers, because of the fact, that there are moments, when this music aspires to be a tune for a more demanding listener. Very interesting ‘Poison’, with dynamic and catchy solo, indicating some metal influences, brings fresh air to the whole. Which is actually a lighter music for listening, when sitting in an armchair and drinking orange juice. A kind of tune most of tired or bored metal heads would not mind hearing. ENDEVERAFTER definitely aim at different kinds of audience, from youngsters to old rockers, from moms and dads, to grandpas. This album is universal, which makes it quite fashionable, although for a short period.

‘Kiss or Kill’ has a tendency to be a one-season album, for a one-season star. The songs do not have the power to catch or drag for a longer period of time, only two or three are light enough to be played in the local radio station. So the album and the group itself will sooner or later die in a natural way.
