Ending People, from Denver, CO, play dream-filled pop
layered with new-wave inspired guitars and droning synthesizers. Their debut
effort, Fill Your Lungs, is a six-song journey through a
post-utopian maze of nostalgia and mystery. The apparent bleakness of their
name masks a contrarian playfulness echoed through sleek songwriting and
production that is danceable yet haunting.
Formed from a cast of well-respected Denver musicians, each with an impressive musical background, the group is fronted by Erin Roberts (Porolo, D. Biddle, touring member ofCastanets and Phosphoresent) on vocals and keys with Jeff Davenport (Porolo, D. Biddle,Dust on the Breakers) on guitar/bass. Tim Hussman (Crooked Fingers, Dust on the Breakers,Aster) hails from Texas and adds backing vocals, drums, and synths. Denver's most dapper barista, Justin Croft (Nathan & Stephen / Hearts of Palm) rounds out the lineup on bass and synths.

Ending People will sooth the weariness of fans who’ve been
searching for the perfect combination of Lionel Richie’s infectious melodies
and Metric’s modern sensibility. Fill Your Lungs was recorded
in their hometown and mastered by Bob Weston at Chicago
Mastering Service. The record is currently available on vinyl and after a
successful local release, will be out digitally October 30th on Cash Cow
Production.

"The opener, 'Beat of My Heart,' is a sinewy, slinking track that showcase strong vocals on a catchy hook, but keeps the vibe pretty low-key. Synths and guitars take the lead, while a simple thudding rhythm section drive things forward... Fill Your Lungs sounds nothing like a debut. This is a bold statement by the group and one that you'll want to hear over and over." - 303 Magazine
"What's the best thing you've heard recently? Me? Ending People. Hands down. In fact, I'm harboring a pretty unhealthy obession with this band right now. Ending People is it's own thing, and it's completely compelling." - Denver Westword
"Drawing inspiration from '80s New Wave, the record's tightly written and suprisingly danceable tunes are well-produced, beautifully played and easy on the ears." - The Denver Post / Reverb Music
