Downset should getDownset' s new album will blow your brains out media recognizes bWatch out for these guys in the future. EYES SHUT tight mother fucker!! Downset cannot be overlooked as a rare band of today with a positive message and some good tunes. However the media likes to buy into negative images like smashing pumpkins the world is so bad kind of crap. Its about time a good band gets recognized.

It is great to see bands outthere with such a positive message as well as great musical ability. It is hard when the radio and tv are so into those shit hippie, and alternative bands. Hey, keep up the good work and hope to see the band inColumbus Oh sometime. I always wondered, is it alright if our band plays a cover of "Empowered" we'll do it justice. Later..

Hello all...I absolutely love Downset and I'm glad that I finally found a page for them that has such reliable info. Thank you for putting this up Rob, I've never seen Downset in concert - would like to but there's something called money and I lack it being a theatre actress/college student/getting ready to move back out west to LA. Okay...enough already. Thanks for reading my comments, take care all, and most imposrtantly - Downset - stay true! Peace and love to all - Kerry
