Albany, NY-based metal/hardcore hybridists Endicott included vocalist Charles Cure, guitarists Ryan Rapp and Don Naylor, bassist Steve Booth, and drummer Jason Nowak. The band first formed in 2000 and immediately began honing their heavy yet impassioned sound. The hard work practicing and touring paid off in early 2004, when Endicott signed with Equal Vision Records. The label issued their full-length debut, Words in Ink Don't Lie, the following August. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
