[we are] the end

Manchester based alt-rockers [ we are ] the end are a breath of fresh air in a scene long stagnant with clichés and carbon copy emo shenanigans! Melding powerful riffs, electronica, layered vocal harmonies, gentle introspection and sonic grooves, they are readying themselves for an all out assault on the music scene. Formed from the ashes of the acclaimed band Hollywood Ending (who enjoyed a brief burst of attention with their 2004 album 'Praying To Fiction' on Mighty Atom Records), We Are The End are a step further into the musical landscape.
