You may not have heard of the endgame and that is a shame, but not surprising either. It's because the endgame don't do covers, just well-written, interesting songs.
This North-East UK based band is worthy of your attention - their reputation for producing an engaging set is growing fast. To some extent, they defy categorisation although their music has been variously described as 'angst-ridden', 'seriously inventive', at times 'ethereal' but 'always memorable'.
Their set is certainly varied. It starts with fast-paced rock ('Hang My Head') then moves through soul ('No Good For Me'), indie ('Perfect Peach', 'Don't Ya') atmospheric numbers (such as 'Unforgotten' and 'Million Miles') and blues-inspired tunes, to the driving crunch of 'Porcupine'.
Such diversity could be in danger of leading to a lack of individual identity , but not so with the endgame, whose stamp is unmistakeable throughout. The band's ability to capture the audience's attention is a huge strength. It's the quality of musicianship that really grabs you.
Tyler's gutsy female vocals, along with imaginative guitar riffs, memorable hooklines and charismatic bass and drums all combine to create an impressive range of light and shade.
It's only relatively recently that the endgame have returned to gigging after some 'time out pursuing other projects'. In fact, in the past, they have played most of the significant music venues in the North of England, including arts centres, pubs, theatres and universities, as well as national music festivals. They have recorded four live sessions for BBC radio and more recently, were given internet airplay on 'Ola's Kool Kitchen' on Radio Nowhere.
Manufactured they ain't. And, however you view it, that has to be a refreshing change.
