Sounds Like
"End County Road" has been compared to the Gin Blossoms, Counting Crows and even confused with some of country's new comers. From pop driven anthems that remind the listener of John Cougar to tortured unlove ballads that give homage to Mike's powerful rock roots; "End County Road" abandons all rules while clearly displaying a sophisticated songwriting style. A solid rock & roll foundation with powerful melodic vocals drives "End County Road's" catchy hooks through original music that sounds both fresh and timeless.

"End County Road" Rock and Roll for the everyday American. Ask a fan what drives them to listen to the band and you will get a different answer each time. For most, they will tell you they love the powerful pop driven, vocal melodies. For others it's the jangling rhythm, and roots-oriented tone. Whatever the reason, fans know they are on to something special.
Hey I thought you guys were great last night. Wish I coulda heard a few more from ya, but I think overall it was a good night for everyone, even if a few rounds went a little sideways.
Anyway, nice to finally meet all of you as a band. I'm holding up my Bud and ringing you a Cheers to your musical future. Looks pretty bright to me. Again, thanks for sharing your music with us.
