Downer

There is more than one artist/band called Downer: 1) "We called ourselves Downer - maybe we jinxed ourselves from the get-go," says guitarist and co-founder Aaron Silberman. The Orange County based four-piece's Roadrunner debut is an eleven song tangle of emotion and gigantic riffmongery huge rock ambitions infused with hardcore intensity. From the appropriately-titled introductory burn of "Flex" to the last gasp of "Curbed", Downer is a non-stop groove down a melodic and darkened drain.
