Endure's raw power is shown through Great Songs!! This Band plays with the die hard passion of a devoted fan. If you are a fan of great songs, great guitar playing, and music with attitude Endure's "Taken for Granted" is a must have. Endure means to push on, never give up, carry on despite your circumstances. This Band came together in 2000 after Dave Stanley (Bass) and Michael Taris (Guitar) went through some really tough times in their personal lives. "Music was something that helped us get through some really rough times". Dave set up a full blown recording studio in his bedroom and we just started writing songs. We hooked up with Matt Corey (singer) soon there after and recorded 15 songs. We were all really excited about how things were sounding and decided to turn this recording project into a band. After writing and recording about 2 records worth of material we got the itch to start sharing our music live. After adding Kevin Zelch (Drums) Endure has played at all the Hollywood hot spots and received rave reviews from friends and fans. In July of 2002 we enlisted the help of Producer/Engineer/guitarist Geoff Tyson (T-Ride, Stimulator) to record and co-produce our first record “Taken for Granted”. 3 days of tracking and 3 days of mixing later the record was done. Endure has had the privilege of working with so many great people in the industry , playing some awesome venues and recording in some of the best studios in the industry. Endure feels truly blessed and would like to dedicate this record to everyone who pursues their dreams despite circumstances, pushes through failure and is optimistic that anything is possible if you believe. Endure is currently enjoying some success in Japan and is looking forward to getting back into the studio to start work on a new record. God Bless!!
