Interview Friday: Endway

Formed in 2004, Boston-based rock band Endway's upbeat vibe, eclectic style and familiar yet original sound is guaranteed to get a crowd moving at any venue across the country. To date they have had three successful releases, along with their newest release "Colors" in 2010, "Running Man" in 2009, "Action" in the summer of 2008 and their self-titled debut in 2005. Four songs from the debut album are featured on 5 different MTV shows including The Real World, Road Rules, and The Hills. Performing nightly, both locally and nationally, the group's dynamic live show is truly something to see and hear. Their live performances include historic Fenway Park, the famed Tainted Blue Studio, SXSW and dozens of college campuses. Their ability to kick-start a music hall is now legendary. Endway has shared the stage with national acts: All Time Low, Brand New, State Radio, Boys Like Girls, Hoobastank, Dashboard Confessional, New Found Glory, Damone, and Lost Prophets. Endway believes in the power of the road trip and has toured the USA many times with great success. While touring in Costa Rica in January 2008, the guys worked hands on with the Roberta Felix Foundation, a charity that benefits underprivileged children with special needs. "During the day we were contributing in any way that we could," says guitarist Kevin McHugh. "It was an eye-opening experience to see that every little bit counts."

On to the interview, we're speaking with the lead singer of Endway, Morgan Dorr:

Can you give my readers a brief introduction to the band, for those who are unfamiliar with you. How did you form?

We wanted to tour, we wanted to be known as those psychos on the road all year, chasing their dream-and we wanted to inspire others to follow their hearts as well. Thus the Endway was born, your way till the end.

Where do you live?

New York City.

When did you first start writing music?

I was 12 years old, wrote a song with my sister for my parents, that's when I caught the bug, since then I've been hooked.

How did you choose your genre?

It just happened, we wanted to bop people over the heads, really drive the point home so it was only natural that we chose this power type of pop/rock.

How do you feel about the impact of the internet on the music business?

Our manager is constantly training us on daily operations and how important it is. We've found excitement in communicating with people directly, and I think we're going to run with it that way.

Do you think major record labels are necessary any more?

Yes at some point you need machine. Soon the workload will be too great!!

How do you normally write your songs?

Late at night, I get to thinking and sitting with my guitar or piano, then all of the sudden something comes to me, it's very spiritual.

In your opinion, what does a good song need to consist of?

A magical combination of lyric and melody that are both in the same vein.

What song is most exciting to play live? Original and/or cover, please!

I'd have to say "love again" not the Usher song, that fucker stole the title from us. Our song "love again" is just slammin live it always gets everyone dancing all sexy.

NYC, San Juan Costa Rica, of course Boston,

What do you think the best part of touring is?

Every day is like New Year's Eve.

What cities have had the best reception for your music outside of your home state?

NYC, and DC.

Describe your worst night on tour, ever.

Believe it or not we've been really lucky.

Where do you see the band in 5 years? 10 years?

Playing stadiums across the world.

Any words of wisdom for those with hopes of breaking into music?

Get good! Practice!! Get a great singer!!! Then when you get on the Stage make love to your audience.

What was the strangest thing to have happen while performing on stage?

A fight broke out and we broke into the national anthem, hahah I don't really know why but that was very interesting.

What is your biggest guilty pleasure?

ANOTHER Toyota recall

Toyota has recalled another 1.7 of their shit quality cars due to LEAKY FUEL TANKS. Delightful. Toyota's latest recalls are mostly in Japan, but they also include the IS and GS Lexus luxury models in North America.

Why anyone would still buy a Toyota is quite beyond me. They've been cleverly hiding poor-quality issues for years and now it's all coming home to roost.

I don't think I want anything in my life being made THE TOYOTA WAY. Fuck them and their ugly crappy cars.

Get to Know i Square Through Their Hey Sexy Lady Video and Remix

Hip hop, pop, R&B and electronica converge to form i SQUARE, whose debut single "Hey Sexy Lady" is the perfect party track, holding steady on the Billboard Dance/Club Play chart and showing the shape of pop music to come.

i SQUARE, comprised of Mike J, Destiny, Briddy and 10Beats, formed by chance in 2009 at Babyface's Brandon Way studios. The group had explosive chemistry right off the bat, and charmed Sean "Diddy" Combs - now an executive producer on their forthcoming debut album - with their first performance. Says Mike J, "Diddy is seriously like our big brother. We can call on him for anything, and we always go to him for advice. He gives us a perspective that is invaluable."

The i SQUARE philosophy starts with a distinct sound, and that sound can incorporate anything from the four distinct personalities that make up the group. Destiny, a space-age femme fatale with a larger-than-life style, explains, "'Hey Sexy Lady'" introduces the world to each of us. Mike J's a balladeer. 10Beats gets people hyped with super sexy rhymes. Briddy's amped all the time, and his energy is contagious. I do the ethereal singing. It's our duty not to half step. We're about to smash the stage."

Get a taste of what this boundary-bending group is all about at isquareonline.com, where fans can get all the latest updates from the band and see out the "Hey Sexy Lady" Skrillex Remix video, which cuts together clips from the original music video and behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot.

On DVD: Powder Blue

Possibly one of the biggest deals for lonely fan-boys recent;y was the movie POWDER BLUE. The big draw was that Jessica Biel played a stripper in it and did substantial nude scenes. I don't even remember if it even hit theaters, but I know the DVD was hard to get for a long time after that. I finally secured a copy and watched it.

This movie is about the depressing lives of a bunch of people and how they impact each other's lives at Christmas time.

The name most people focused in on was Jessica Biel. She plays Rose, a stripping single mom with a dying child. Everyone wanted to see the nude scenes, but, while they WERE pretty hot, the whole rest of the movie was cast so well, that you were more interested in seeing what everyone is up to, as opposed to only seeing Jessica nekkid.

There are several layers of story going on, and each one is very interesting. You can feel the torment in the lives of the cast and it's all very compelling. I don't want to say too much more because I think this movie is worth watching, so go check it out.

A great wagering opportunity...

A bet of $28 for a third party candidate winning the Presidency pays $1000 on Intrade, a legal gambling site.
