From Instagram match to debut record
Tempo, escapism, and a soft spot for German-language post-punk: Welcome to the “UTOPIA” of the band ENDE from Vienna and Linz.
Vienna/Linz band ENDE formed after two members connected on Instagram via a “we formed a band” profile. Their first single “Cowboy1” climbed into FM4’s Top 3 in 2023, and now they’re releasing their debut EP “UTOPIA” on October 3, 2025. The duo writes and produces as a pair but performs as a quartet, blending German-language post-punk with danceable rhythms. “UTOPIA” reflects themes of escape, change, and dreaming beyond daily life. The EP was showcased at Waves Vienna and kicked off with a release show in Linz before touring Germany.
