The Additives: Should It End Before the seasoned, road-worn storyteller of Midwest Boy, there was the raw, unbridled energy of The Additives. Should It End is the definitive time c apsule of Joe Rian’s early musical landscape. This record captures a band at the height of their formative years, fueled by garage-born ambition and the kind of electric, no-frills rock and roll that only comes from playing in packed taverns and local dives. 🎸⚡ Why Should It End Matters: The Roots of the Sound: Listeners familiar with Rian’s current Americana style will hear the early DNA of his songwriting here—the same grit, the same honesty, and the same penchant for a hook, just delivered with the wild, youthful urgency of his first band. A Raw & Unvarnished Experience: Should It End isn't about polish or studio perfection; it’s about the energy of a live band captured in its purest form. It’s an authentic look at the "Windy City" years that helped sharpen Joe Rian’s musical identity. A Must-Have for Completionists: For fans looking to trace the evolution of Joe Rian’s craft, this album is an essential chapter. It bridges the gap between his early influences and the matured "roughed-up" roots-rock sound he is known for today. What to Expect: Expect punchy, guitar-driven tracks, a "play-it-like-you-mean-it" attitude, and the scrappy charm of a band just finding their voice. It is a vital, high-energy listen that serves as the foundation for everything that followed. 💿🔥 Show more
