End It Unleash New Single & Video “Hatekeeper”

End It hail from Baltimore, MD and they want you to know it. On their upcoming EP,  Unpleasant Living, that is set for release on July 8th via Flatspot Records, the band delivers with ferocity and purpose. The message? Mind your business. The first taste of the album comes in single Hatekeeper, the minute long song packs a fury with punchy guitars and a stand-out delivery from vocalist Akil. The video for the track is a hardcore take on The Chappelle Show‘s famous Playa Haters’ Ball skit. 

“‘Hatekeeper’ is a song about gatekeeping hardcore. It’s about keeping the tourists from getting comfortable enough to dictate what’s right and what’s wrong. Knowing they won’t be around to deal with the after-effects.” (Akil)

Unpleasant Living was recorded with Kevin Bernsten at Developing Nations and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. On the EP, the band takes heavy influence from ’90s hardcore, drawing comparisons to acts like Leeway, Gut Instinct, and Maximum Penalty. The vinyl and CD of Unpleasant Living will also include the band’s 2020 EP, One Way Track, and their 2017 self-titled release. The band have also announced a string of shows opening for Sheer Terror, Fucked Up, and a performance at This Is Hardcore.
