Dave Peters: VocalsMatt Mentley: BassBen Dussault: DrumMark Choiniere: GuitarThrowdown is a straight edge metalcore band which spawned from the OC hardcore punk and metal scene. They havetoured as part of Ozzfest, Sounds of the Underground and Warped Tour, as well as with bands like In Flames, Lamb of God,As I Lay Dying, Norma Jean, Soulfly, and Hatebreed. The songs "Forever" and "Burn" have been staples on MTV2'sHeadbanger's Ball and Revolver Magazine called them part of "The Future of Metal." The band's music is heavy, metallic,dynamic, and driving.Keith Barney, now of Eighteen Visions, was the band's original vocalist. Former Eighteen Visions guitarist and currentBleeding Through vocalist Brandan Schieppati was also a member of the group early on, though not an original member.Schiepettati replaced Eighteen Visions bassist Javier Van Huss shortly before the band recorded their demo and "S/T" 7" forPrime Directive Records. Indecision Records released the band's debut full-length album, "Beyond Repair." Shortly afterDave Peters joined, on guitar, replacing Schieppati. The "Drive Me Dead" EP and a second album, "You Don't Have To BeBlood To Be Family," followed. Throwdown began as a Straight Edge band and are still continuing to have songs and lyricsbased upon Straight Edge.Trustkill Records signed the band shortly before the release of "Haymaker," the first album with Peters on vocals (andBarney on guitar). The band recorded the album with a studio drummer as they had asked original member Mark Jackson toleave. Matt Mently, who had filled in for Barney on several occasions, joined the group as an official member not longbefore their slot on Ozzfest in 2004, with Dussault coming onboard before that landmark tour as well. Tommy Love (guitar)became a part-time member for several months before officially leaving the band in December, 2004. In January of thefollowing year, the band -- Peters, Mentley, Dussault and bass player Dom Macaluso -- wrote a new album, "Vendetta,"which they recorded with producer Zeuss (Shadows Fall) at his Planet Z studios. Choiniere joined the band in April, 2005, acouple of months before the album's release. Macaluso, the band's sole remaining original member, left the band inSeptember, 2005 to join Diana Gone Wrong, with Mentley moving over the bass position a couple of months later. « hide |
