Three reasons why I like this band: One-originality; Two-positive lyrics; and Three-they can make you dance. Endora is a four piece electronic band making wave in the state of Illinois and other parts of the United States as well. A new breed in synth-pop, electro, futurepop, and ebm. Have already recorded numerous of tracks and been getting club and radio play. A five song demo was sent to me and indeed impressed what I've heard and couldn't stop playing the disc. The kick off track futurepop "Perfect Isolation" have a couple of breakdown bridges and stands the ep out very well with a ebm beat. "Smile" have a Depeche Mode feel, which kind of reminds me of their "Some Great Reward" era. A great love song with catchy synth melodies. A remake of Anything's Box "Carmen" was done in a beautiful way using only piano and strings. Endora is no stranger to the electronica scene. They've been around a couple of years and have performed in clubs, the House of Blues and been interviewed live on a radio station. The band's new and second singer, Johnny Quale, voice puts you in the mind of Dave Gahan. On the Mp3.com's Chicago artist page they're listed as top artist in Chicago area, 8th straight month. In one less year their Mp3.com website has been up and surpassed the 5,000 play mark. The band is releasing a full debut album sometime this year in 2003. Take a peep at their website and listen to the samples of their music, you'll see why everyone loves ENDORA!
