And the South by Southwest alumni’s latest release, “Day Two” (Trevolution Records/Fresh Tracks Music), succeeds on all of these levels, managing to strike a perfect balance between hard and soft, heavy and light.” - None
“New album Day Two continues to do well at radio, peaking at #6 on FMQB Specialty Chart (5 weeks and counting), #10 on R&R (chosen ”Record of the Week”)/UNCLE/ A&R Network National Specialty Charts, receiving heavy rotation on XM Unsigned & RadioIo.com and receiving regular rotation on KLBJ, KROX, WVAF, KAVC, etc. In late March, Endochine was featured in Guitar One Magazine, and in April, every American Airlines Flight (25,000 flights, 3.4 million passengers) featured the band’s music on their in-flight music service.” The song featured on all American Airlines flights was Secret”, written by Casey McPherson. - None
