Band: Staydown
From: Visalia, California
Their formation story:
(John, bass): “We all grew up playing in bands in and around the Visalia scene. Most of the guys have been playing together for a while in different iterations of this band. This is a new start, and it’s the first collaboration between all of the current members.”
Their sound in their own words:
“2000s hardcore with a heavy emphasis on groove. FFO: No Warning, Cold World, Terror, Comeback Kid, Carry On.”
Latest release info:
“Our first release is totally DIY. We wrote and recorded it in our guitarist’s gym and mixed it ourselves. The songs are a combination of all the stuff that we’re into—straightforward hardcore with plenty of moshy parts and sing-alongs.”
Future plans:
“We want to get this recording out as far and wide as possible and take advantage of the summer months to get out and do some sonic damage. We’ve got a Bakersfield show lined up for the end of May, and we’re talking about putting together a short run of shows after that. We’ll see what happens.”
What other bands from their region should we check out?
“Full.Clip, Entice, BDR, Step By Step, Out of Line, Earth Expired, Dear Distance.”
