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."

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.
