The best kept secret in music

“This 4 piece have created a dense and melodic sounding record. The track “Whatever Gets You” is a magnificently moody hard-riffing mutha with heavy drums that wouldn’t sound too out of place on Soundgarden’s “Badmotorfinger” album.” - Don O’Mahony, The Evening Echo.
On the title track “Lay It Down”.
“O’Shea’s voice soars to new heights.”
On “Left Behind”.
“Beautiful guitar picking with a more soulful approach.”
- Drop-d E-zine
“Still-mourning Kerbdog fans would definitely find solace in Ideal End. Both acts share the heavy, dirty, chugging guitars that drew influence from the grunge era but Gavin’s vocals have the melodic clarity normally associated with American college rock bands which makes for some interesting listening.” - Hot Press
“Their sound is meaty and refined.”
“… they deliver a slick set of hard rock numbers.”
“Frontman Gavin O’Shea’s emotive and powerful timbre reverberates around the room.” - Mark Keane, Hot Press

Bio
When Ideal End formed in early 2005 it was the coming together of experienced and talented musicians who shared a similar musical vision and this, allied with their dedicated approach to song writing, has lead to a fine collection of original compositions. Drawing on their wide range of musical influences Ideal End are one of Corks liveliest and most entertaining acts. The combination of well crafted guitar riffs, powerful yet melodic vocals and a driving rhythm section has resulted in superbly written songs that are both immediately memorable and a testament to the bands musicianship. This is highly evident on the bands debut EP, “Lay it Down". The E.P. was released to much acclaim in September 2005 and has been aired on both Red FM and 96 FM. Songs range from the all out alternative rock of “Whatever Gets You" and “Lay It Down" to the more reflective “Left Behind".
