.end of story is a 3500 horsepower melodic hard-rock trio from the midwest, though they create a wall of sound that would lead one to believe they are hiding some band members.
formed in 1996, .end of story is the brainchild of guitarist / vocalist skot reed.
the instrumentation is the simple format that heavy music was built on, guitar, bass, drums and vocals. the songs are filled with melodies and hooks that stick in your head and lyrics written from a little different perspective.
an emphasis on stellar vocal work sets this music apart from the run of the mill emo, screamo, whiny, cookie-cutter production tripe that has littered the air waves lately. .end of story has from day one played the music that comes straight from the soul, the way they choose to do it, and like only they can. that has never and will never change. trends in the music industry will come and go but music with integrity never goes out of style. you'll find that integrity right here.

It’s been a little more than eight years since the release of .end of story’s self-titled debut EP. Well, the wait for something new is over. After more than a year in production .end of story is proud to give you the long awaited follow-up CD, “.the sonic blueprint”
The new CD is a collection of fourteen amazing songs and was engineered and produced by skot reed and the band. An infinite amount of heart, soul, passion, and enthusiasm is evident in every note. For .end of story, the making of “.the sonic blueprint” was truly a labor of love.
The music is diverse and covers a vast emotional spectrum yet always remains true to the signature .end of story sound. From the heaviness of tracks like “of 6 on 22”, “therapy”, and “catching on” to the ethereal vibe of “playground” and “last day on earth” the band always puts the focus on the groove. That groove is never more evident than in the tracks “stride” and “full circle”. “Full circle” features a long-time inspiration to skot and the band as Ty Tabor of King’s X fame lends a hand on some guitar solos and backing vocals.
“When we let some friends hear the pre-production tracks and saw the gamut of emotions they experienced, we knew we were on to something” says guitarist skot reed. There is no doubt that .end of story is on to something, something fresh and original yet familiar and inviting. The new CD displays an attention to detail that seems to be a lost art in a great deal of today’s music. “.the sonic blueprint” from .end of story isn’t merely a new CD it’s an event, something to be experienced. With subject matter ranging from love, life, death, triumph, loss, passion, betrayal and everything in-between, this CD will awaken things in you and leave you feeling like you were right there in the songs.
After what seemed like eternity .end of story is thrilled to give you…
.the sonic blueprint
