I wrote a bit about my experience with Endpoint in my Crucial Tracks interview to kick off this site.

> One of the first really big hardcore shows I went to was headlined by Endpoint and Outspoken at The Icon in Buffalo, NY. Seeing them play live 100% sold me on the genre. They quickly became my two favorite hardcore bands. Not only did they have a unique sound compared to most of what I had heard to that point (and really since), but the lyrics were just so good.

This song particularly:

> "Move," says the rich man > To his right hand > You sell your life away > "When?" says the poor man > He'll never understand > It will always be that way > Hope is the savior, it will be the cure > It fuels them on > Dreams are the only escape > From the rich man's rape > So they still hold on > > Equality (lies) > Freedom (lies) > But their spirit still shines > Justice (lies) > Independence (lies) > You cannot take their minds > > All men are creatеd equal? > We're not еven born equal > One nation under God? > God doesn't have enough money
