TD Frontman Talks About Genres 2007-07-30 by Athom EMERITUS | 8 Comments | Dave Peters, front-man for Orange County hardcore band Throwdown, talks about labeling heavy music, its different subgenres, and subcultures.
"I might be way off base, but I think musical genres were created just to make it a little easier for people to describe a band or artist to someone else – simple tools for reference/comparison purposes. But when the hell did they become these forbidding lines in the sand that people dare not cross? Especially when the genres/sub-genres in question are only slightly different versions of one another to the point that the untrained ear couldn’t tell the difference anyway."

Don't know the band but props to the front-man, seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

Respectable, rightous, opinion from a band that has some good early stuff.

Vendetta is a favorite of mine.

I think this band is unbelievably boring and unthoughtful.
But the man speaks the truth.

Looks to me like he knows his stuff, although Throwdown don't really do it for me.
