JANUARY 09
Welcome to the new .endofstory.com
It?s been a little more than eight years since the release of .end of story's self-titled debut EP. Well, the wait for something new is over. After more than a year in production .end of story is proud to give you the long awaited follow-up CD, ?.the sonic blueprint?
The new CD is a collection of fourteen amazing songs and was engineered and produced by skot reed and the band. An infinite amount of heart, soul, passion, and enthusiasm is evident in every note. For .end of story, the making of ?.the sonic blueprint? was truly a labor of love.
The music is diverse and covers a vast emotional spectrum yet always remains true to the signature .end of story sound. From the heaviness of tracks like ?of 6 on 22?, ?therapy?, and ?catching on? to the ethereal vibe of ?playground? and ?last day on earth? the band always puts the focus on the groove. That groove is never more evident than in the tracks ?stride? and ?full circle?. ?Full circle? features a long-time inspiration to skot and the band as Ty Tabor of King?s X fame lends a hand on some guitar solos and backing vocals.
?When we let some friends hear the pre-production tracks and saw the gamut of emotions they experienced, we knew we were on to something? says guitarist skot reed. There is no doubt that .end of story is on to something, something fresh and original yet familiar and inviting. The new CD displays an attention to detail that seems to be a lost art in a great deal of today?s music. ?.the sonic blueprint? from .end of story isn?t merely a new CD it?s an event, something to be experienced. With subject matter ranging from love, life, death, triumph, loss, passion, betrayal and everything in-between, this CD will awaken things in you and leave you feeling like you were right there in the songs.
After what seemed like eternity .end of story is thrilled to give you?

A note from skot:
Hey, Y?all
Man what a ride the last two years have been. First, let me apologize for our absence here on endofstory.com. With the new CD, new shows, and cool new site, you?ll be seeing LOTS more activity in the future.
Let me tell you a little about the music and fill in some blanks. As you may know our first EP came out in November of 2001 and we get asked a lot ?what?s taking so long for a new CD?? Well, after the first EP .e.o.s. went through a line-up change and embarked on a new full-length CD project later known as the ?.self-propelled? songs. This 17-song monolith project never reached completion due to many factors including the death of my father, the birth of my son, and yet more line-up changes. Quite honestly I felt overwhelmed, defeated, and worn out. The .self-propelled project was shelved after only 7 songs were completed. The good news is that you can hear those 7 songs right here on the .music page.
In March of 2004 I re-united with my life long best friend Dave Eichman and we started making music again, really good music. I was inspired by Dave?s amazing musical abilities and thrilled to have re-kindled our true friendship. In December of 2006 Dave and I found the final piece of our musical puzzle. Matt Thompson joined .e.o.s. to form the strongest line-up the band has known in it?s 12-year history. Matt, Dave and I are more brothers than band mates. The chemistry and comradery are like nothing I have ever experienced. I often tell people ?I?ve played for 31 years and the first 29 don?t count? Yeah, it?s THAT special. Well, with this new family came new inspiration and new songs, A LOT of new songs. We did live shows throughout 2007 and in September of 07 we started picking songs and putting together pre-production demos for the new CD. January 5th of 2008 the hard drive started spinning and the track count adding up. We had completed tracking the new CD by October and I buried myself in mixing and mastering while our new friend Loren Beringer worked hard on an AMAZING CD cover. Loren?s work on both the CD packaging and this site is nothing short of mind-blowing and we are so grateful to have found him. So, now it?s January and with all the loose ends tied up the CD actually went to press. I can?t describe how this felt for me. After working so hard for SO long on the .self-propelled project only to see it shelved, I needed this. The past year has been the easiest and most fun I?ve ever had making music. All the work that went into making the new CD never really seemed like??.work. More like just getting together with my brothers and making some music.
Speaking of making music, the live show schedule will resume late this winter and details of a CD release event will be posted here as soon as we have them.
In conclusion I just want to thank all of you who have never given up on .end of story for your patience, your positive influence, and your friendship. You are, in fact, the reason we work so hard at this and as always we?re nothing without you.
I hope you truly enjoy .the sonic blueprint as much as we do. Here?s to a bright future for all of us .end of story
Much Love
.skot
