Solace (demo)

​Voted Down is an alternative punk band that loves to play shows. Formed in Granville, Ohio, in 2013. Alex had been playing in various basement bands throughout high school which would accomplish very little, and never leave the basement. After graduating from high school, he decided to seriously pursue music, and find like-minded people to form a band with. For about a year this turned out to be largely unsuccessful, and he grew a deep frustration with the lack of serious musicians where he was living. He then decided to just write his own songs, and save up money to move to Columbus, as things progressed an ad was placed for a new vocalist, and Chelsea McClain, a previous A capella vocalist, soon joined Voted Down in 2013. Through many struggles and lineup changes, Alex and Chelsea pushed through in efforts to find band members who had the same goals and ambitions. In this journey they found James Garcia, a free-lance journalist from Colorado to join as their bassist, and Austin Smith (whom they've known for years) to get on board as their drummer. This incarnation of Voted Down has bigger ambitions than ever before, and is hell bent on seeing them come to fruition.
