Baltimore hardcore powerhouse End It has unveiled a fiery cover of Maximum Penalty’s 1996 cult classic “Could You Love Me?”, complete with a tongue-in-cheek retro music video that throws the band onto a wild variety show set. Directed by Noah Haycock, the video sees vocalist Akil Godsey and crew take the soulful NYHC gem and inject it with End It’s rhythmic punch, flipping the vintage format into full-on chaos.

The track lands as the final preview of End It’s debut full-length, Wrong Side Of Heaven, out August 29 via Flatspot Records. Preorders are live now, with the record promising to expand on the band’s blend of hardcore, thrash, and soul that’s earned them a devoted following since their 2017 formation.

Recorded with producer Brian McTernan (Turnstile, Snapcase, Hot Water Music) at Salad Days Studio, the 15-track album was shaped over two months and written largely on the spot, capturing both urgency and authenticity. Themes range from personal growth to political awareness, all while carrying the uncompromising ethics of hardcore.

With three EPs already under their belt—including 2022’s acclaimed Unpleasant Living—Wrong Side Of Heaven marks a turning point, cementing End It’s role as one of the genre’s most outspoken and dynamic voices.

Once the album drops, End It will hit the road hard. September kicks off a run with Superheaven, followed by their newly announced headline trek, The Wrong Side Of Heaven Tour. Stretching across North America, the run brings them through Kentucky, Washington, and their hometown of Baltimore, joined by a rotating cast of hardcore heavy-hitters like Ends Of Sanity, Soul Blind, Bracewar, Raw Brigade, Ozone, Clique, End Of Dayz, No Right, Hold My Own, and Cosmic Joke.

On top of that, End It will also level up to the arena stage, supporting none other than Blink-182 on two massive Missouri dates—another testament to just how fast their stock is rising.

With their raw energy, unapologetic voice, and now their first full-length album on deck, End It is kicking down every wall in sight.
