ENDWAY
Running Man
8-song CD
SILVER CIRCLES REVIEWS Dec 09:
What’s not to love about a band whose members live to play rock ’n’ roll, and who like to give away their music for free? With three albums already under their belt, EndWay is an evolved, melodic synthesis of Maroon 5, Sublime, and the current incarnation of INXS. Known for the vibrancy of their live performance, the band’s music has also been featured on MTV’s The Real World, Road Rules, and The Hills, to name a few. Vocalist Morgan Dorr’s tonality is “dynamic” and “soul-infused,” comparable to that of Coldplay’s Chris Martin. The opener, “Love Again,” is intriguing. Electronic elements permeate throughout; the result is ear pleasing and polished. In the realm of Jason Mraz, “Coolin’ Out” is optimistic and carefree, while the acoustic twang of “Wine, Women & Cheese” is a fitting end to a pleasant (but all-too-short) disc. Indeed, “Love is a friend we all need in the end.” (Julia R. DeStefano)
