Biography

Endo was formed by singer Gil Bitton and bass player Zelick. Bitton, the son of Moroccan parents, was born in Israel but grew up in Florida. He dropped out of high school in the 11th grade and began hosting an open-mic night at Cool Beans, a Miami café, then turned to singing and playing the guitar as well. Joining the heavy metal band Above and Beyond, he met Zelick, who had first pursued acting before taking up the bass. Deciding to form their own band, the two recruited Cuban-born drummer Joel Suarez and guitarist Eli Parker, who had played with Suarez in Level Nine. The group was signed to Concrete Management in 1999 and began opening for such bands as the Foo Fighters and Static X, and played the South by Southwest music conference, which led to their being signed by DV8, a label distributed by Columbia Records. Their debut album, Evolve, was released in March 2001. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Endo was a four-piece nu metal music group from Miami, Florida. The band formed in 1995 with Lou Orenstein, Diego Ponsa, Reggie Barret, Steve Morris and Gil Bitton. A local production company, "Concrete Management", signed the band in the late 90's, where they opened for such bands as the Foo Fighters and Static-X. They were later signed to DV8/Columbia Records, and released two major albums in Evolve (2001) and Songs for the Restless (2003). The group also appeared at the Ozzfest Tour in 2003.

The band parted ways with DV8/Columbia in April 2004, and at the time had five new tracks in the recording process.[1]

Endo posted news on their MySpace blog in November 2005, announcing that a new album was close to being finished.

Further news was posted in February 2006, where Endo announced that they were performing at a contest in their hometown of Florida. However no news has been posted since.

The group announced the disbanding of Endo on January 1, 2007, due to inner turmoil.
