Auckland four piece New Ending have been leaving crowds stunned. They come straight at you with an intense, loud, screaming guitar sound, drums not too dis-similar to a small bore sized drill coming through your skull, and melodic lyrics topped up with screams of angst revealing deepest emotion.
New Ending songs vary, from those about the lost love of youth and the loss of important souls to those of outright fear, anger and lust. Their music evolved from an initial punk/emo sound to form an intense screamo blend of punk and hardcore.
Formed in early 2002, they have regularly played shows in the Auckland area to a growing fan base, and have toured the North Island of New Zealand, steadily building a following in cities such as Wellington and Tauranga. The band can be regularly found gracing the stage at venues such as the Kings Arms, Masonic Tavern, Galatos and various all age venues in Auckland, along with other influencial NZ bands such as The Bleeders, The Mint Chicks, Cold by Winter, Missing Teeth, Goodnight Nurse, 48May and Losing Face.
New Ending receive great support from local promotions company Dynamo Promotions, where the director Dave has put them on the bill for international acts Bouncing Souls, from New York Strung Out and Good Riddance from California USA. Recently the band went off at a show supporting Lagwagon from USA, playing in front of a tightly packed crowd in excess of 700 punters.
New Ending has also been interviewed and have songs played live-to-air on Channel Z along with having songs feature in the New Zealand TV surf/skate shows Red Surf and Primo Freerider. The band has recorded two demos and has an unreleased EP. The band has hopes of more touring in and around New Zealand, with Australia and the rest of the world in their sights.
