I’ve been aware of this band but didn’t really become interested until I checked out some of their myspace songs and saw a short clip of them performing at The Buzzy awards. Generation Down’s singer Spencer Ezell can be summed up in one word, ENERGY. This guy becomes possessed onstage and has the presence of a true star. His voice is very strong and he’s very good at getting the crowd whipped up into a frenzy. The rhythm section of drummer (Gary) and bassist (Brian) laid a solid foundation for guitarists' (Tommy and Scott)'s riffs. This band has the type of sound that I enjoy; a good mix of heavy and melodic music with a singer that can sing higher than Cookie Monster volume. Bear in mind, I like the really heavy stuff too but variety is the spice of life.
Generation Down definitely brought the biggest crowd into Fuel this night and Ezell and his band didn’t hide their appreciation. While their harder mid-tempo songs were well received, the lighters were brought out for the heavily requested ‘One More Day’; a song that I guess would be classified as Generation Down’s power ballad. This group has only been together for a little over a year in its current incarnation. I have a feeling Nashville (and beyond) will be hearing more about this group in the future.
