Down

Introduction

There is no label for what Down does, as are there no labels for the "thousands of miles from New York" bands that share members with them; Crowbar, Corrosion of Conformity, EyeHateGod, and Pantera. This is chemistry. This is the solution. This is the band people will lie about and say that they were into from the beginning. Down isn't your typical 'Southern' band. This is a band, however, molded and twisted by their environment. Passionate, focused, hanging on to their NOLA pride and upbringing, much like Louisiana's Spanish moss drifting and swaying from hurricane and termite damaged Magnolia trees. This is post-Katrina New Orleans. Through the wreckage and wretchedness, the third Down album, Over The Under, is poised fanatically on the edge.
