DESCRIPTION:Refuse Records presents:\n\nENDSTAND (Riihimäki\, Finland / Com
	bat Rock Industry)\n\nEndstand started in early 1996\, meaning the band tu
	rns 30 this year. After a 15\nyear break Endstand got back together in 202
	5 to play two huge comeback shows in\nTampere\, Finland\, following a coup
	le of more club shows and then a handful of\n\nfestivals in Finland. There
	 was also demand to play abroad\, but due to a very\nlimited time to play 
	shows\, they could not do this last\n\nyear. This year the band will play 
	Mainland Europe first time after their last\ntour in 2007 – so you could s
	ay it’s about time!\n\nEndstand’s music can be described as melodic hardco
	re. The lyrics of the band\nhave always been somewhat political\, voicing 
	opinion about things they felt\nimportant – human and animal\n\nrights\, s
	creaming for better world for us all\, equality and peace. Live shows\nare
	 where Endstand get to show their best sides\; energetic and passionate\np
	erformance\, letting out the frustration\, showing emotions and most of al
	l\,\nhaving fun celebrating life and friendship.\n\nWhen the band was more
	 active\, they toured constantly and got to be one of the\nmost popular Eu
	ropean hardcore bands. Now with other obligations in life\, it is\na very 
	rare opportunity to catch\n\nthese Finns playing again\, so better not mis
	s this chance!\n\nLinks:\n\nhttps://combatrockindustry.bandcamp.com/album/
