End / Julia Effect

Ende
The duo from Vienna and Linz creates an independent sound world where post-punk, Neue Neue Deutsche Welle, pop, new wave, and punk organically merge. Their music thrives on contrasts and manages to maintain an exciting balance between hardness and fragility. Guitars, drum machines, and synthesizers blend into a dense, powerful sound that touches immediately while also inviting you to dance. ENDE sings about broken relationships, angry nights, and hidden escapes. Their songs tell stories of people who are tired, who want to disappear, or who want to remain alone together. It’s about shadows, signals, fear, and longing. The language remains reduced and direct, without pathos, yet full of feeling. Live, the duo transforms into a four-member band. On stage, the songs unfold a new dynamic – a bit more playful, rawer, and even more energetic. ENDE concerts are intense, loud, sweat-inducing, and simultaneously connecting. They achieved top placements in the FM4 charts. The media echo grew, as did a steadily increasing fanbase that appreciates the band’s distinctive style. ENDE stands for a sound that does not pander yet remains memorable, for an attitude that can be uncomfortable, and for music that creates space for anger, sorrow, and hope. Viennese frustration as a refuge for all who feel and still want to hope a little. Together against the tide. The waiting is over.

Julia Effekt: The Aesthetics of Controlled Chaos
Between dissonant guitar walls and relentless rhythms, Julia Effekt redefines post-punk. Their sound is an abrasive mix of post-punk coldness and doomy heaviness – a constant play with feedback that first lulls the listener into safety, only to then overwhelm them with massive sonic cascades. Live, Julia Effekt is a physically palpable experience: loud, uncompromising, and with a dark intensity that resonates long after the last chord. Those searching for melodies will find fragments. Those seeking the truth in the noise will find Julia Effekt.
