Also, no one remembers them at all, but in their heyday they may have had dozens of fans. Maybe more! (Probably less).
We also think they may have been signed to Equal Vision at one point, I mean it does make sense. Does EV even make records anymore?

Chain Letter
Endicott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The words in ink don't lie, so believe what you read. The words in ink don't lie, so believe what you see, because it's all you'll ever get from me.
Do what you are told and you will live to see tomorrow. A hundred copies on the wall, another thousand on the floor. Show everyone you know what we have written.
The words in ink don't lie, so believe what you read. The words in ink don't lie, so believe what you see. The words in ink don't lie, so believe what they say.
Hey--are you listening to me? I've got one last thing to say to you and everyone else who has ever doubted me. Read the finest print that you can find, and tell me who signed on the fucking dotted line? Right here is your name. This here is your name.
The lyrics to Endicott's song "Chain Letter" delve into the theme of fear and control through the use of a chain letter. The song opens with a warning - pass the letter along or face death - which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The repetition of "the words in ink don't lie" emphasizes the importance of the threat and reinforces the idea that it must be taken seriously. The use of violent imagery - putting bodies in graves - serves to further instill fear in the listener.
The second verse continues the theme of control with the command to "do what you are told" in order to survive. The repetition of the number of copies - a hundred on the wall, a thousand on the floor - emphasizes the widespread reach of the chain letter and adds to the feeling of being trapped. The final lines of the verse urge the listener to share the letter with others, perpetuating the cycle of fear and control.
The final chorus reiterates the power of the words in ink and emphasizes the idea that there is no escape from the chain letter's grip. The final line, "this here is your name," is a haunting reminder that the listener is now part of the cycle of fear and control.
