If one was to ever meet the
members of Huntington
Beach's Throwdown, one
would find it nearly impossible
to find an ill trait or word to
spear against David (Vocals)
and Mark (Guitar). Coming in
all smiles and laid back I could
tell that this was the attitude
that these guys brought with
them through out their life. In a genre that boasts of militance,
uniformed opinions (but somehow grunts about unique ideal),
and the "Rock Star" lifestyle of 1987, it's a breath of fresh air
to find that the general stereotype doesn't apply to all.
The Hardcore movement may have began in the late 1970's,
but only now has it risen to a widely known and accepted
status, though slightly perverted from it's original form. "In a
way it's (Hardcore) has become a subculture as compared to
other music.

Ir longs for change, it
tries to create it in a positive
way. I do believe there is a
lot more Hardcore kids
these days and it's a positive
thing. Now a days you can
go to any city in the
country and find a Hardcore
show, to where as 10 years
ago, 20 years ago, you
wouldn't have been able to find
that." Being that there are so many bands have been produced
from the Hardcore womb, sprouting legs and devouring all in
their path, it is rare to find a band that need no introduction.
Throwdown has long been a steeple in this category, holding
on tightly to their roots yet branching off to become a vibrant
entity of their own. As the years rolled by and the band grew
into what we know today, the fan base has become an
unstoppable force that relates personally to the trails and
tribulations relayed through the songs, seeking strength within
the lyrics and standing strong. "For myself/For my
friends/For my family./STRAIGHT FUCKING EDGE."
