Dead-Ending-PromoDead Ending express punk lyrics that strike a chord with the average person and present an eyes-open look at the universal quest to get through life’s struggles. Hardcore in general does a great job of screaming out frustration with life’s status quo and Dead Ending expresses it specifically in this EP.  Fans of Cro MagsBlack Flag, and 80’ Heavy rhythm paired with angry angst-filled lyrics from these iconic punk musicians make this one of the best 10 minutes you can spend.

Treat yourself, your ears and your soul to a listen of Dead Ending III!  It will wake you up and definitely make you feel better about tax day!
