94 Down

94 Down started with one purpose in mind, to bring great music to the masses. “We really love what we do,” says Aaron Smith (lead guitar). “Some people just don’t take us seriously because we are all in high school, but trust me, we are the real deal. We take music very seriously. We are very dedicated to putting out great music and putting on great shows.”
94 Down (based in New Braunfels, Texas) began in February 2006. The only two members were Sam Furman (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Aaron. They would play a lot of covers, from bands like American Hi-Fi, Blink-182, and lot of other bands. Then one day, Sam had come up with some great song ideas, and then the band began to take a more serious turn. “We were looking to become a more serious, original band, not just a cover band,” says Sam. That became evident when Aaron also came up with some great song ideas.
94 Down’s first few gigs (with their old drummer and guitarist) were them just doing pop-punk covers. “We just hadn’t matured yet,” Aaron says. “I mean, don’t get me wrong, I really like pop-punk, and we have a couple of original pop-punk songs in our arsenal, but we are more of a alternative rock band now.” 94 Down has played at a bar, a coffee shop, and a charity event in their young career. Starting in December, they start playing such cities as Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Lewisville, New Braunfels, Harker Heights, and Corpus Christi. They will get the chance to play in other great cities, too. 94 Down will have the opportunity to play with some great bands such as One Minute Halo, Rustik, The Vanished, Faktion, Red, Miser, Dawn Over Zero, Nothing More, Structure, Strongpoint, Venture, Say Hello To The Angels, and a lot of other bands.
They have made friends with the owner of a great studio in Austin called 5th Street Studios. They have recorded two demos, and are going to work on their EP in early to mid 2007.
94 Down has a full line of merchandise and a rapidly growing fan base. The rest of the bands consist of Ryan McClure on bass (formerly of Sitting Maniac) and Jason Langone on drums. When asked about their genre, Aaron has a wide variety of responses. “We could come out and do a song that shows our Blink-182 and American Hi-Fi influences. Then we could come out a do a song that shows our alternative rock influences. It’s hard to say what band we resemble. If I had to chose one band, it would probably have to be 10 Years.”
Be ready, Texas. 94 Down plans on making a huge impact in Texas music scene! For more info on 94 Down, go to myspace.com/94down.
