END IT ask ‘Could You Love Me?’ with Maximum Penalty cover and retro music video, announce new album ‘Wrong Side Of Heaven’ and upcoming tour dates

Live from sunny Baltimore it’s End It with an exhilarating cover of Maximum Penalty’s 1996 track ‘Could You Love Me?’. An outlier hardcore classic, the song finds new life with Akil Godsey’s soulful vocals and End It’s rhythmic delivery. The video for the track gets a retro fit as End It perform on a variety show where things take a raucous turn.

The track serves as the final preview of End It’s upcoming full-length, ‘Wrong Side Of Heaven’ out August 29th through Flatspot Records

Following the release of ‘Wrong Side Of Heaven’, End It will head out on an extensive North American tour, starting in September with a run of shows supporting Superheaven and a newly announced headline tour. The Wrong Side Of Heaven Tour stretches from Kentucky to Washington to Baltimore and features support from Ends Of Sanity, Soul Blind, Bracewar, Raw Brigade, Ozone, Clique, End Of Dayz, No Right, Hold My Own, and Cosmic Joke. Within the tour, End It will support blink-182 on two arena dates in Missouri.

End It has built a reputation through being unapologetically outspoken, playing fast, ripping songs, and putting on an electrifying live show. Entering Salad Days Studio with renowned producer Brian McTernan (Turnstile, Snapcase, Hot Water Music) the band came in with a few demos and wrote the majority of the album during the two month recording process in early 2025. Taking direction from classic hardcore, thrash, and soul music, End It has crafted a 15 song magnum opus centered on “Spreading awareness of the change that’s coming to Americans, personal growth, and maintaining the ethics and integrity of hardcore.”

Having released three EPs, including 2022’s highly praised ‘Unpleasant Living’, the band’s first full-length ‘Wrong Side Of Heaven’ is expansion of what the band set out to do since forming 2017 – creating hardcore that’s authentically themselves. From tracks calling out imposters to examining the uncertain times facing the world, End It has crafted an album with impactful commentary paired with an impressive sonic output.

End It is vocalist Akil Godsey, drummer Chris Gonzalez, guitarist Ray Lee, and bassist Patrick Martin.
