ENDOR

ENDOR was a post-hardcore band from Temecula, California formed around sometime in the early 2000's. This band is most notable for their singer, Matt Barcalow. Matt, is the younger brother of Finch vocalist, Nate Barcalow. Even with a major cosign like that at the time, it appears this band never did much, only dropping one Self Titled EP through Relavare Records, a drastic difference to his older brother who was signed to major label, Geffen Records at the time. It appears Endor dissolved around 2006. I really wish this band released more music, it appears they had two other songs listed on their myspace not on the Self Titled EP called, "Original Daylight" & "Another Promise" but I couldn't find those songs / any other info. UPDATEEEEE!!!! (7/17)  I found 3 new demos!!!! I found "Another Promise" but not "Original Daylight" hmmmm... instead I found, "Last Song" and "Last Song (New Version)"... Ima hold onto those for rn thooo I might update this and add the DL links at somepoint ;) UPDATEEEEE!!! (7/18) I found two more demos - "Say Goodbye" & "Song About You". Still nothing about "Original Daylight" but shidddd I had no idea they had this much material.

Endor was:

Vocals - Matt Barcalow

Guitars - ?

Bass - ?

Drums - ?

Kinda crazy I legit found out about this like two hours before me typing this... and I literally found this by accident. I was listening to a demo of another band I will post on here with a sorta similar sound... *wink wink*. Since I found this I've been listening to it nonstop, it's quite obvious upon first listen that this band, specifically Matt was influenced highly by Glassjaw. The vocals can best be described as like Daryl Palumbo cleans mixed with Anthony Green Saosin era screams. I was sold as soon as I heard the singing / glassjaw influence obvi. But the instrumentation is also really interesting too. That's another way it reminds me of glassjaw - the music def has like an emo vibe but it's way more sophisticated and interesting than most run of the mill post hardcore bands from this era. I might go as far and say I like this more than Finch... maybe this is what I wanted Finch to be... either way this EP fuckin slapss. post hardcore in its truest sense.
