Download is a five piece band from Virginia Beach, VA. They were established in 2002 and are showing no signs of letting up. The sound is deeply rooted in the ’80’s New York hardcore sound as well as thrash metal of the same era. The lyrics delve into many different subject areas like showing appreciation for fans, friends and family as well as showing disgust in the crop of fakes and back stabbers that are encountered on a daily basis. Some songs also tackle current events like the West Memphis Three and the aftermath of September 11^th. The live show is quite an experience. If not the loudest, they are definitely one of the loudest bands in the Tidewater area. The guitars of Jimmy and Travis ring loudly and proudly along with the cannon-like drums of Jamie. Keith and Kevin lead the audience with their guttural anthems while the energy in the room erupts in the form of a violent but friendly mosh pit. The intensity of a Download show is like no other, so if you want to see a great show for almost nothing; come see Download, and find out what all the talk is about.
