The End - Gusto (1991)

I think that anyone who likes The Doors, The Cult, Claytown Troupe, U2 and even the more alternative Last Crack will find something good in The End, especially when they hear the hammond driven and breezy 'Destiny'. There's something nice and pleasant about The End who didn't quite break into any alterno metal rooms and make a statement. This band are not metal, but if you can imagine a lightweight I Love You, blessed with that psychdelic edge and a hint of pop then you be sdomewhere halfway to unearthing what this band are about. Of course, it didn't really last, the band probably didn't get any type of push but would most certainly have made a good opening act for other bands such as The Front etc. With an element of funk and soul too, it's hard to know where they fit in, but Jerry Ewing of Metal Forces magazine described them best as a "colourful bundle of noise." 6/10
