Into The World Of Man was initially born out of a few rushed demo releases made under a self-imposed pressure to "just get some music out there." However, it didn't take more than a handful of shows before I realized these tracks still needed work. A lot of work.

Much of what was still in my head whenever I heard these songs had not made its way into their performance. Parts that seemed great in the studio fell flat before an audience. And there was no overarching narrative that could begin to tie all the disparate ideas together.

Five years (and dozens of revisions) later, I am proud to release Into The World of Man. Propelled by the beginning themes of Amos Ender's story and relentlessly restructured to match the level of theatrics and emotion I strove for in every live performance, this album offers a glimpse of what Amos Ender might become if given the chance to tell his tale.

Happy Birthday to Buddy Holly! I heard an acoustic demo version of this song that Buddy made and I couldn’t help but feel like it was something off the Green Album from Weezer. I’ve been sitting on wanting to do this recording for a while now but spent a lot of time focusing on creating Hype! (my recently released new album. Then, two nights ago, I finally put it together for Buddy’s 82nd Birthday! I was excited at the opportunity pay tribute to two of my biggest influences with this one. Enjoy!

"On a dark mountain wrapped in billowing thunderheads, Amos Ender rent the skies and stepped down into the world of man." So begins the first of several chapters of Amos' story that we have at last been able to uncover.

Who are we? The first of his Followers, tasked with telling his story through song and script. Drawing upon our own experience and influences such as The Killers, The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, and Two Door Cinema Club, we have come to describe the sound of Amos Ender as one rooted in simple riffs, gritty chords, honest vocals, and a brook-no-nonsense beat to hold it all together.
