A person in a banana suit is basically a prerequisite of any ska show. We used to have inter-punk solidarity; these guys must have not gotten the memo.
While End It has not responded to the public callout, they have quietly gone missing from a few corners of the internet. Their Facebook page has allegedly been taken down, and they no longer appear on the posters and social media posts for Hatebreed and Life of Agony’s European Tour.
May they vanish
Colossal scumbags. Unfortunately, there are a lot of secret authoritarians and conformists in our midst anywhere, it's unavoidable in any group that values a visually similar aesthetic as a way of signaling belonging, this absolutely goes for non-conformist and punk circles too whether we like it or not. Stay safe out there
“What we've learned by being excluded for we who are is to form a group that excludes others for not being exactly like us. This is social progress.”
Well thats not very hardcore of them at all. If i saw a banana moshing or crowd surfing id be stoked
I'm reminded of that "Yoshi's in the pit" clip from a few years ago of an Australian band's live performance where a dude dressed as Yoshi led a mosh pit and the singer was excited that was happening.
LOL Yoshi standing as a hoard revolves around them and then they join to run in circles... Sweet.
This type of music is the opposite of what I would consider enjoyable. People are weird.
Right? All the hardcore people I know are pretty chill and don't take themselves to seriusly. When you start to act like you're "sooo trve" you're doing something wrong.
I now want a banana for scale at every metal show I go to (as long as I’m not standing behind him)
Wait, the band singled out some dude in the crowd of Canadians for wearing a costume as wanting attention? The same band on an elevated stage being very loud and under spotlights? Did they feel threatened that they weren't the complete center of attention anymore?
Thank you for the comments letting me know the band was dropped from their tour. Live music is amazing and dying at the same time. It doesn't need wankers like these acts killing it faster.
The massive irony of a punk band calling someone out for not fitting in is undergoing gravitational collapse.
What the fuck is wrong with them that they think this was acceptable? I'm glad they've been dropped from their upcoming tours.
I'm especially disappointed by the fans who fucking listened and attacked the guy, too.
Frankly, the banana guy has every right to sue their asses for encouraging violence against him and destroying his property.
Reminds me of a much worse incident, a clip I saw of a Travis Scott concert, he crowdsurfed and his shoe came off iin this kid's hand and he accused him of stealing it and tried to start a fuck him up, fuck him up! chant.
The crowd ignored scott and got the fan to safety in that case.
I’ve never heard his music but Travis Scott sounds like a piece of shit
Travis Scott played a set in which 8 people died. To be fair, Travis Scott wasn't the sole factor for the deaths. Management and the promoter share responsibility.

Isn't he the one that encouraged the fans outside the stadium to hop the fences and sneak in which lead to several people getting trampled to death?
Was that the same one where he refused to stop the show while paramedics tried to get to the trampled people? Not sure if that was him or not, it was maybe a few years ago
Nazi punks, fuck off!
Sounds like the band read the room wrong. It's kind of weird to call out someone for wanting attention while on stage too.
The fan later took to Instagram Stories to reveal that the costume was destroyed after the End It gig, per a report from The PRP. “People have been trying to dim my sparkle my entire life. It sucks, but I’m used to it,” he wrote. “I’ve surfed hundreds of people in this suit, all genders, all ages, safely. Especially, a lot of first timers that felt safe to approach me for their first surf.”
“[End It], two of your band members crossed the line…and I’m obligated to speak on it,” the fan continued, addressing the band directly. “F**k the police? While policing what people wear?”
He added, “The message last night; Conform or get called out, exactly the opposite of what hardcore is supposed to be. I was an unwilling participant, attacked and clothing removed at the direction of a band I paid to see.”
Then, the End It frontman offered the setlist to anyone willing to successfully “strip the banana.”
Offering a reward for beating up a fan is insane. Glad they were dropped from the tour.
What a shitty band, I'm glad they've been kicked out of the punk scene.
Way to End It.
Band got dropped from their tour. They also have taken down their FB page if I remember.
Their behaviour was shitty and they deserve having lost their place on that tour.
Also they were supposed to tour Europe on the bill with Hatebreed until Jamey Jasta heard about this.
Make breed, not hate.
Oh yeah, The End, is so over.
Dickheads and hypocrites those guys, fuck em. I've never heard of them and I hope I don't hear them again
Why is it I trried seeing a picture of this band on 3 search engines in different search terms, and no images were returned. They showed me other bands with end in their name, even with quotation marks around the name.
WTF happened to the internet? All three engines returned the same results too, they aren't even doing their own fucking searches it's all the same fucking garbage.
I'm curious what these douchebags look like, not the least as one used the n word and I'm curious if it's a white guy or what.
The correct band shows up in Kagi
Here is the video of the beat down
Also this is a lot of the same band members as a group called No Pressure. Famous of course for their rapist drummer, and same singer of this band who kicked a girl in the spine.
Edit: Fuck them, and their abuser POS band.
I remember when web search used to be shitty. Then it got quite good. And now it's shitty again. I know why, because when you have to search multiple times, they get to serve you ads multiple times. But it used to be good where it tried to add similar search terms (like pants also searching for trousers) in the background so you'd find what it thought you were looking for.
Was the "it" in their name referring to their music career? Lol what a bunch of posers
Fuck conformity. This kind of bullshit behaviour has no place in the punk scene.
pic unrelated
Yeah but, Video related
