If this band were to choose a different name that was equally as fitting, it would have been It’s Been a Long Time Coming. But that’s too long. The Long Run? Taken. EndsNOdds came together slowly and in an unexpected way which is exactly how they arrange their favorite R&B, Americana, Rock, and Pop covers; with thought and creativity, adding unexpected elements in each song making them their own.
