Hi everyone, we’ve been busy recording our debut LP. Really stoked to put this out into the world. To say this has been a life changing experience is an understatement - @soundhouseseattle felt like home and working with @evanapplebaumaudio was probably the best experience I’ve ever had in a studio with anyone. We consider him a great friend now and it feels fucking good to be able to feel so comfortable around a new person like that during such a vulnerable process. Thank you Evan we love you always, homie. These songs sound incredible thanks to him and I can’t state enough how important he was into making this album sound the way it does. Thanks to everyone for continuing to lift our music up and support what we do. We love you. Can’t wait for you to hear the tunes.

Before we release this, we’re going to put out a live album/ fanzine called ‘Out of Tune in Outer Space’from our show at @outerspacearcata in Arcata, CA. Will post info on it soon. See you 👋🏾

Our music video for “Pour Me” comes out 4/1! Really excited to put this out. Thank you to old friends and new friends who showed up for this - I felt so supported and loved by you all. Y’all partied, got drunk off love and music (booze and weed) really made this whole shoot hilarious and fun. Thank you to @_bellatown_ for your genius and making my visions come to life how I picture them in my head. Thank you to @sseeaalliiffee_ as well, so easy to work with you both and having made 2 music videos with you now, I realize how incredible and inspiring you both are. Feels like an honor to be able to get to work with y’all. Look out for the vid when it comes out, it’s real good and I hope you check it out.

much love,

Nik

Well, with All I’m Bone, muzak will live again. Rock ‘n roll will be saved from hell!No more driving basslines in G major with a painless voice on top! And the world will never be bloody again! All I’m Bone comin’ at ya next Thursday 🖤 With love and grace and honesty a lil’ bit of vitriol and stupid and bad and some sucker shit too. This one is dedicated to KC.

Greetings, my lovely ones! Got some dumb cool and ugly news that I’d like you to chew on for a second, dust those chompers off and flush out those moldy ears! We’ve got a new single, coming to you Thursday 5/28. A song called All I’m Bone -a short ditty (one could say a death jingle?) to my close friend, Death and a song I also wrote in memoriam of a musician I’ve looked up to most of my life. Feeling very proud of this song and I really hope you all feel as close to it as we do. A gift from my heart to yours. We’ll talk to you more about that very soon. A small preview is there for you in the next slide. (Mixed by @angelhairaudio mastered once again by @camcamcamcamcamcamcamfrank recorded at @jackstrawculturalcenter)

One more thing, I’d like you to please welcome these mustache men to the world of Black Ends. I have had a really great time with all of them these past few months making music and writing and hanging out. I couldn’t ask for better humans to make music with. Give your scorching hellos to @karlstayshome, he drums in one of my favorite bands in the city @fleshproduce and is a truly such inspirational drummer to watch and to know. We are really happy to have him here with us and can’t wait for you all to see him play with us.

We love you, thanks for everything
also thank you to @youthriotrecords for putting our music out once again! you own us now!!!!

forever and always,

This post is for the merch heads!!!!

Firstly, I want to give my thanks for all the amazing shows these last couple of weeks, everyone. We’d be nothing without you and it truly has been very soul soothing to see so many new and familiar faces at our shows lately.

Secondly, (and almost most importantly) we’ve got new drip!!! FRESH AND CLEAN 4 you and you only! This may be one of my favorite designs we’ve had, ever. I say that about every shirt but I am a true sucker for long sleeves. I’m wearing mine now and it is so soft I could sleep in it. I put the link to order one in our bio!

Designed by me and @line_6_insane_mode once again/ we are the DREAM TEAM. Thanks for making them @vgkids 🖤

I will say, it’s quite expensive for shipping so if you live close I recommend you just come to a show and buy one there.

See you beauties on the flippity.

Love always,

Nicolle

My Own Dead

Beautiful vid by @_eddcarr_

Most of y’all know what happened by now.

Yes, we protested on stage about @duckwrth not paying his local openers. No it had NOTHING to do with the venue we played. This was happening on his entire tour. He specifically asked Black fronted artists to play for free. 20 minute slots. Bad news. We are not the only ones who did this on stage. We are not the only ones who spoke up. We thought speaking out would bring awareness to the fact that this still happens in the industry too much. Pay artists what they are owed. We still love playing the crocodile. We love Seattle. We love standing up for ourselves and others. The world is so dark. I wish it were more true and fair. This was a protest about artists being paid fairly! There shouldn’t be any arguments but I knew there would be because some people do not see the point in what we did. My blood bleeds punk. A lot of people don’t understand what that means anymore. Going against the grain will always be punk. Being loud about the things that offend you will always be punk. Being Black and defending and protecting our Blackness from exploitation will always be punk.
FREE PALESTINE
FREE CONGO
FK THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM
PAY YOUR ARTISTS
MAKE GOOD ART THAT MATTERS
NO TO BIOMETRIC SURVEILLANCE
BE THERE FOR YOUR FRIENDS
LOVE YOURSELF
STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN
NO MATTER WHO IS OFFENDED

Our next show is November 1st at Baba Yaga

See ya,

Black Ends #LiveonKEXP | The Seattle DIY rock scene stalwarts @black.ends stun with their dark and brooding debut, Psychotic Spew. Strung with unnerving instrumentation and songwriting, the band's self-described gunk-pop flourishes.

Watch them perform "Red Worry" and more from the record Live on KEXP. Link in bio.
