South Florida’s straight edge kings, UNTIL THE END, have announced the addition of new singer James McHugh to their lineup. McHugh, who will be replacing “Mean” Pete, will be making his debut on the forthcoming album and live at Magicfest 2K4. For those curious about the departure of “Mean” Pete, his other band REMEMBERING NEVER has simply occupied all of his energy and time, making the split necessary. And just for the rumor mill, there is no bad blood.

In related news, UNTIL THE END will be entering the infamous Studio 13 with producer Jeremy Staska (POISON THE WELL, CHRISTIANSEN) in mid-June to begin recording their next full length. Slated for a late summer/early fall release, the album will hopefully be available at shows as early as July.
