Los Angeles native Jake Hays, the creative force behind Maudlin Strangers, has released a cover of End of Beginning, originally by Djo, the musical alter ego of Joe Keery from Stranger Things. Hays was captivated by the nostalgia Joe Keery evoked in the song, reminiscent of the bittersweet end of a summer vacation and the accompanying heartache of leaving a beloved place. Hays, accompanied by the original member Richie Gonzales on drums, Alexander “Schmorgle” Morgan on guitar/keys, and Drew Bruchs on bass, brings his own touch to the track with excellent vocals, anthemic melodies, and a stadium rock quality that could fill arenas with joy.
Epic stuff!
