ENDSTAR sends their special thanks to Brian “Pants” Crangle, Lacey Corbett and all the guys from Apollo’s Daughter, Robert Kaltenbach and Joe Bryant from West Clark Records, Thomas Walton from Sky Burnt White, Doug Giddens from Brickwindow Records, Nate and Adrienne Lowrey from Lowrey’s Streetside Pub, James Parton, Rachael King, Michelle and Justin Balcom, all of our friends who have supported us and encouraged us along the way, everyone we will meet along our path…and most importantly, those who are, unknowningly, the inspiration for the characters in our tragic story; “The Narrator”, “The October Sky”, “The Endstar”, and “The Empress Infinite”. You may never know it was you whose voices echo in our mind as we spilled our hearts all over this canvas, but we can never forget. The Homecoming is dedicated to you because you are the ones that are never coming home.
