Facedowninshit, melding the ethos and grassroots approach of
hardcore and punk, the sincerity of blues, and a forceful energy to
create their unique brand of southern fried dirt metal, formed in 1999
out of a punk band in Greensboro, NC that featured Ryan Wolfe on
drums and Waylon Riffs on bass and vocals. The two met up with
Jason Crumer and recorded a demo tape in 2000 under the name
facedowninshit. Immediately after the band self-released this demo
tape, facedowninshit teamed up with USA Is A Monster for two-
months for their first-ever US tour.
Upon returning home, the band recorded their first full-length album,
Concrete World, which they self-released as a LP in 2001. Not
waiting for nor needing any support, facedowninshit booked their own
full US tour in 2001 backing this LP release.
Concrete World saw a CD release with bonus material (the bonus
material would later surface on a split 10”) under the title of Shit
Bloody Shit in 2002.Staying true to form Jason, Ryan, Waylon and
new guitarist David Sullivan quickly hit the road in support of this
release on another self
-booked, -financed and -promoted US tour and began road testing
new material that would appear on their next full-length album,
Passing Times.
facedowninshit relocated from Greensboro to Portland, OR in 2003
and finished writing Passing Times. Letting no time pass them by, the
band scheduled a week’s worth of time to record at the Jam Room in
Columbia, SC and booked another full US tour around the recording
dates. Passing Times saw a 2004 release via Crimethinc in the US
and Exutoire in Europe.
Jason, Ryan and Waylon decided to move back East in 2004, while
David choose to stay in Portland to play with Last of The Juanitas.
Upon the release of Passing Times, the band began extensive touring
once again starting with a full eight-week US tour. Immediately
following, facedowninshit made their first cross-Atlantic trip to tour
Europe for two months.
facedowninshit stayed active by writing and playing throughout the
East coast and South with the likes of Today Is The Day, Kylesa,
Baroness, Municipal Waste, USA Is A Monster and countless others.
The band’s fierce independence and hard work caught the attention of
Relapse Records, signing a deal with them in the summer of 2005.
The band is currently spread along the eastern seaboard writing their
Relapse debut where guitarist Jason Crummer hopes “to capture the
live sound, create something a LOT more raw.” « hide |
