“That track was fire”
Fire. A term that has been commonly used to describe the Down Boy sound. Blending the ideas of traditional blues and progressive rock, Down Boy creates a style that commands the stage, entices the audience, and leaves you begging for more. Let the music speak for itself…smooth grooves contrasted with hot jams, spatial sequences and raw crunch. It’s hard to describe Down Boy’s larger-than-life sound, but it is one that never fails to turn heads. As freshmen at Belmont University, the trio’s songs reflect the alien nature of the college experience. Dark temptation, constant pressure, the unknown future; Down Boy complements it’s unique sound with daunting situations that every student must face, allowing the music to act as a looking glass into the emotional roller coaster that we call college. As pressure falls, as fear takes over, as love culminates and as emotions run wild, we all sometimes need to stop and say to ourselves “down boy”.
