END IT

End It is a Baltimore-based hardcore band known for their explosive sound, confrontational lyrics, and unapologetic attitude. Formed in the late 2010s, the group channels the raw spirit of 90s hardcore—drawing influence from acts like Leeway, Gut Instinct, and Maximum Penalty—while injecting a modern urgency that speaks to today’s social and cultural tensions.

Their breakout EP Unpleasant Living (2022) on Flatspot Records delivered six blistering tracks that tackled gatekeeping, systemic injustice, and personal struggle with relentless intensity. Fronted by Akil Godsey, whose charismatic and chaotic stage presence has become a hallmark of their live shows, End It has earned a reputation for performances that are as unpredictable as they are cathartic—including impromptu acapella renditions of Frank Sinatra classics.

With their debut full-length album Wrong Side of Heaven arriving August 29, 2025, End It continues to evolve, blending hardcore, thrash, and soul into a sound that’s both timeless and incendiary. Produced by Brian McTernan (Turnstile, Snapcase), the record amplifies their mission: to spread awareness, challenge norms, and uphold the ethics and integrity of hardcore culture. 

End It isn’t just a band—they’re a movement, a mirror, and a middle finger to complacency.
