ENDLESS BATTLE EST. 2004

WWW.ENDLESSBATTLE.ORG

Wikipedia defines ENDLESS BATTLE as a band that goes above and beyond the normal call of duty. When it comes to stage production and loud rock and roll these guys seem to fire on all 8 Cylinders. It goes without saying that these four guys have quite a stage performance, But When you think of Endless Battle in a musical sense, it's a breath of fresh air. It's the guilty,... It's the accused,... it's the guy lying dead in the street,... the serial killer lurking in the shadows....and the evil clown hiding in a house of mirrors. Yes you guessed it....Nate, Mike, Brad And Troy are back with a force to be reckoned with... - ENDLESS BATTLE

Nate started out in a band called X-POSED. X-POSED was created by Mike and long time friend Allen Butler. When Nate got his bass, everything just clicked really well. X-POSED was fun and had it's moments, but like most bands starting out in Suburban California it didn't last long. No recordings were made... but several shows were performed. This gave Nate a chance to experience first hand rowdy crowds...and stage presence. Things quickly unraveled with x-posed, and mike and Nate knew their music was way to important to give up. with X-Posed behind them, they carried on...still writing music, they searched for new talent. They auditioned several candidates, but came to no avail.

As luck would have it, one day while Mike was reading through the classified sections of an online publication. He came across an ad for a drummer seeking a band. Thinking that this might have promise Mike gave him a call. Mike and Nate Seemed to hit it off well and before long auditions were being held to secure the spot of lead singer in a band known as WHIPLASH!

Whiplash searched high and wide for potential singers. It came down to two candidates. One of which was Brian Vasilia. Yes… the Front Man for ENDLESS BATTLE (Circa 2004-2006), The other was a singer named Alex. Mike and Nate both thought, that Brian, by far was the better singer. But because of politics and a spousally disturbed wife of our new found drummer we ended up with Alex. One record was cut and a small tour followed. But just as X-POSED was thrown to the waste side, Whiplash was just merely another notch in the bedpost, and another chapter closed in the ENDLESS BATTLE saga.

With whiplash at its end, Nate and Mike continued on. They asked Brian Vasilia if he was interested in coming with us to form what is now known as ENDLESS BATTLE. Mike found a prodigy on drums named Dave in Pomona California. Shortly after recruiting Dave, Mike suffered a major nervous breakdown due to alcohol abuse and other issues. He had to take a break which would take him out of the circuit for almost 2 years.

Nate, Brian, And Dave Continued on to make a  4 song record. Shortly after its completion, Mike (Sober and Hurting to play) made it back into the lime light to play one last session with Dave. From which Dave left to pursue other potential projects.

Shortly after Dave's departure, Brian knew a guy by the name of Abe... . Fire Fighter by day Musician by night...Abe Continued on with Endless Battle for several months. Just as things were ramping up to start rehearsing for potential demo cuts, Abe was called to active Fire Duty making it impossible for him to continue on with Endless Battle.

Two Months went by, Brian through mutual friends was introduced to a drummer named P.J. Brian gave him a call, and within a week Endless Battle was in the studio, moving forward. P.J.'s drumming skills without a doubt speak for themselves. Endless Battle was whole once again. Within two months time tracks were recorded for the new E.P. "Trick The Twist"

The record did okay and a small tour ensued, Due to some creative differences Brian left Endless Battle. Auditions were once again initiated for another front man. Ads were set up in several different paper's and online hot sheets, and of course we had auditioned so many, but none with the promise this band required. Shortly after several auditions we received a call from a guy by the name of Troy. He was very quick, and to the point on the phone, and handled himself in a very professional light. Mike and Nate were impressed. So they gave him a call back.

WE Set up a time to meet and exchange press kits, and get acquainted. Everything seemed to click...We did notice that he had quite a stage presence and wore more makeup and leather than mike... We all thought "What a Fit!" and within 3 months we were all in the studio remastering the tracks for trick the twist....

Still touring.... And balancing Studio life, More songs were written... However P.J. Had left to pursue the band "Sundial Project". We welcomed aboard Gabe De Anda. Gabe was a awesome guy and I think it's safe to say one of the biggest personalities in the lineup. He always had a way to make us laugh. But unfortunately Troy and Gabe could not see eye to eye...and sadly Gabe left the band all too early. He's still a good friend of the Organization.

We were sad to see him go, However we did have the pleasure of meeting Brad who is the drummer on the current line up. He's a great talent which not only has a impressive resume, he has also been awarded merit by the governor, and has the attitude that is going to help us take it to the top. We have alot of the same views and everything is clicking very well. And only a week into this project he was ready to start doing shows. Brad will be featured on the upcoming CD. And is definitely going to be around for while! Were glad to have you on the team!
