END SOUNDS NEWEST SIGNING J. CHARLES & THE
TRAINROBBERS
HIT THE STUDIO TO RECORD THEIR DEBUT ALBUM
Los
Angeles, CA, June 9, 2011 -- Austin, TX indie
label, End Sounds has announced their newest
signing to their diverse roster, J. Charles &
The Trainrobbers. The Dallas, TX-based band
have entered The Echo Lab recording studio with
producer Matt Pence (Centro-Matic, Midlake) to
record their debut album, Upon Leaving,
which will be released in Fall 2011.
“After
watching a two-song live video stream of J.
Charles & The Trainrobbers, I found myself
watching the recording over and over, and after 45
minutes of repeat, I knew then what I know
now…that End Sounds and J. Charles & The
Trainrobbers’ were destined to be together,” said
End Sounds co-founder, Jonathan Gill.
At the
intersection where cowboy boots meet Converse,
where twang ties into tough-minded rock riffs, and
country collides with the power of punk, you’ll
find J. Charles & The Trainrobbers. The
Dallas-based band’s insistent, urgent sound
thrives within the continuum of true American
originals that includes everyone from Black Flag
to Billy Joe Shaver, Tom Waits to Willie Nelson.
The band started in early 2010, when J. Charles
Saenz, former front man for recently disbanded
Southern rockers Sangre Sangre, as well as ex-lead
guitarist for punk rockers the Strays and Death on
Wednesday, decided to make a long and permanent
drive from Los Angeles to the great state of
Texas. Armed with a batch full of new songs, Saenz
teamed up with longtime friend, drummer Steven
Visneau (The Queers, Slowride). Something special
started happening right off the bat, and from
there it was a matter of putting the pieces
together, adding in Omar Yee Foon (The Mag Seven)
on bass and pedal steel guitarist Danny Crelin
(Eleven Hundred Springs), forming J. Charles &
the Trainrobbers.
The
band will be in the studio through mid-July and
will performing in and around Texas before
mounting on a major tour in 2012. Having already
gigged alongside an impressive array of artists
including Lucero, Deer Tick, Dawes, Middle
Brother, and Shovels and Rope, J. Charles & The
Trainrobbers are eager to spread their music
as far and wide as possible.

About End Sounds
An Austin, TX-based record label founded in 2001,
is turning ten years old this year. In an age of
declining record sales the label has weathered the
storm and surprisingly is growing in the current
climate. This is likely due to the label’s focus
on quality releases over quantity and a careful
selection of a diverse roster with roots in punk
ethos.
