Bio
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 11th. The live show is quite an experience. If not the loudest, they are definitely one of the loudest bands in the Tidewater area. The band has experience in playing small bars all the way up to 20,000+ seating venues, and with their full size van and trailer, Download is tour ready. The intensity of a Download show is like no other, and this is all validated by the fact that they were voted "Best local band of 2007" by the listeners of FM99 WNOR and also won first place to play at the sold out Lunatic Luau 11 at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater.
