Artist description These artists combine a pounding low-end with the industrial grind of distorted guitar. Add a twist of electronics and you create sonic soundscapes mixed with vocals of rage that go from whispers to screams in a matter of moments. "There are so many bands trying to be 'original' these days, it is really hard to create something new and fresh. We just play what feels natural to us and thats why we are so sucessful", quotes Downfall's guitarist Atticus. "Alot of other bands just copy something original like the Deftones, Nonpoint or Papa Roach, and they try to claim it as their own sound. We have never done that, everything is from our hearts and souls" says frontman JAME5. Downfall's 2nd guitarist Custom Justin says, "The key to a sucessful band is; if you are out there busting your ass for your band each and every day no matter what." These artists create a very original sound unlike everyone else.

Artist History Started in 1999 by Atticus and vocalist Marc, they split up and formed two groups; Shade 13 and Confused. Atticus found a new vocalist, bass player, DJ and drummer. Confused broke up and Marc re-joined Shade 13, but it didn't musically mesh together so he left the group. After that ordeal DJ Checkitout left to go to college, and our head S.Crew member joined up as second vocalist then eventually taken over due to Matt's departure, the band relocated to the Twin Cities in Spring. The Minneapolis sextet has had a revolving door membership until this year. The final roster decided a change of name was in order and then Downfall was born.
