Hardcore bands are the easiest things to hype in music right now. You can take any band out there and tell your friend it is the heaviest thing he has ever heard, only to find a new band the next week that owns that title, and so on and so forth. Throwdown are exactly one of those bands. This So-Cal straight-edge moshcore group spends their entire lives brutalizing anyone that stands in their way, and they do it with a growing efficiency with each new album.

Throwdown was good 4 years ago!!!! i'm not a huge fan of this kind of music, but Throwdown does it well. Hey!Guess What Guys!?!?! i dont hate bands like this but i dont call them hardcore. Listen to this and then put in like Minor Threat or something and it dont sound nothing alike. But i do like the music anyways so w/e. You're not getting anything new or genre splitting here, it's Throwdown doing what it does best, destroy stuff. These guys consistently do the two-step into breakdown in their songs, but they just so happen to do it better than most bands. I'm not wearing my camo shorts right now but I like Throwdown nonetheless. Hahah. I saw them a couple weeks ago and they were really good. hardcore and metal do not come hand in hand. Period. nu-metal bollocks. I find these comments pretty funny. Some people think they are such hardcore-punkers. I have loved punk for a very long time. I love old-school punk the most!! With that being said, I also love the new influences and styles from today. I really like this Throwdown album. I also love Hatebreed. Being hardcore punk is so much more than how you dress. One person commented on when respect became a part of hardcore music. To answer that-- it always has been. You don't have to LIKE me, but you will RESPECT me!! if you compare the sound to casey jones or agnostic front i would'nt call throwdown "hardcore" but i would'nt call it "metal" either. while we are at it fuck labels anyway. what kind of a person are you? is there a nice simple label that fully defines you? vendetta has an excellent fusion of sounds, hardcore and heavy metal (pantera style) that is really great. i really like this album. my music library has room for metallica right next to minor threat and my pantera albums are followed closey by pennywise. great music is great music period. and you're speaking for the hardcore community you homophobic asshole? why dont you listen to pantera and go lift some weights, nobody wants to hear homophobia here. SHITTY CD- sounds like every band that says they're "hardcore." Nothing special here....unless you like cliched lyrics and generic metal riffs. throwdown isn't hardcore. they can go take their metal influenced shitcore and go act all tough. no one here even knows what hardcore is/was about anymore. faggots. what the hell, on that top five straight edge list, you dont put earth crisis on there? the fuckin hardest straight edge band of all fuckin time? also minor threat a notable band left off that list. and just my opinion, speak 714, those guys fuckin rock. Haha I think that the guy below me demonstrates perfectly why so many of us hate Throwdown and its fans. This guy is the archetypal illiterate thug-core devotee. Go listen to All Out War for a couple more years and come back when you've grown out of that dreck. i say who ever says this album is shitty then your dumb. im sorry you can only listen to hardcore and not metal. thats sad, exspand you listening perspective. so what if throwdown came out with a cd that grew close to hardcore, its unic. they play what they like and who gives afuck if its not pure hardcore, still better then anything you've ever produced. i garentee that people will listen to this album more then any other throwdown album for years to come, its called progression. now progress your standerds ass hole. metal and hardcore go hand in hand. if your blind and can't see that then you need to get a curb cheak and realize that metal and hardcore will always be around, and it just so happens that metal has been here alot longer then hardcore. as much as i love hardcore i will bet the hardcore scene dies, and metal will still be strong. i say who ever says this album is shitty then your dumb. im sorry you can only listen to hardcore and not metal. thats sad, exspand you listening perspective. so what if throwdown came out with a cd that grew close to hardcore, its unic. they play what they like and who gives afuck if its not pure hardcore, still better then anything you've ever produced. i garentee that people will listen to this album more then any other throwdown album for years to come, its called progression. know progress your standerds ass hole Can't people write some fucking meaningful comments!?!? It's all mindless stupid shit full of hate and disgust...... makes me really think twice about some of these people that listen to this type of music and are part of the scene. met the guys from Throwdown yesterday at SOTU this album is gay. they're not a hardcore band. "I knew some cunt would get all pissy because minor threat wasn't on that list. Go fucking die." victory is a metal label haha and they suck ass "I knew some cunt would get all pissy because minor threat wasn't on that list. Go fucking die." I hate these type of bands, they all sound the same and its not very good at all. Quick question..... what ever happened to that band Vendetta Red that had that really catchy song "Shatterday", are they still around? I listened to the cover of baby got back that throwdown did, it fuckin rips. score is for that. As a non-edge kid, i gotta say the best edge stuff is from What Happens Next, as they promote the edge thing, but talk about how there are far more important issues at hand today rather than who drinks and who does not. Check out their song "to define, not divide" . I knew some cunt would get all pissy because minor threat wasn't on that list. Go fucking die. "Plus I heard they got caught with weed!" Top 5 best straight edge releases ever. I've never liked this band, but they do have one thing going for them; wow. people are putting a lot more effort into hating these guys then i did to halfway enjoy them. Top 5 best straight edge releases ever. Haymaker was better. Top 5 best straight edge releases ever. Not bad. Then I apologize. My assumption was that you were further perpetuating the stereotype. Sickboi, I feel neither here nor there about Throwdown. My friends all listen to different music than me. "You missed the part where you're supposed to feel like the predictable clone you are." Fucking fake hardcore diluting the scene. Throwdown need to fuck off to Ozzfest where they belong and stay there. "2) Do they really spend their entire lives brutalizing anyone that stands in their way? Do they? So if they were crossing the street and there was an old lady walking a bit slowly in front of them (and hence in their way) would they brutalize her? Or if they were at McDonalds and they were at the back of the line would they brutalize everyone in front of them because they were in their way? Would they? ""If you like Throwdown I'll bet you 50 bucks that you're wearing camo shorts and a white t-shirt at this very moment" ""If you like Throwdown I'll bet you 50 bucks that you're wearing camo shorts and a white t-shirt at this very moment" ""If you like Throwdown I'll bet you 50 bucks that you're wearing camo shorts and a white t-shirt at this very moment" Shitty metal band! "If you like Throwdown I'll bet you 50 bucks that you're wearing camo shorts and a white t-shirt at this very moment" This is one of those bands that you don't like on record, but love in concert. so many fucking morons on this site....fuck you all....go listen to rancid.. Hahahahaha, sorry dude, but that comment was so fucking cheesey. this is worlds better than haymaker, but nothing will hold a candle to the earlier stuff when keith sang and the band didnt take themselves seriously. these dudes are kinda like mcdonalds. you eat it when you want something simple, quick, psuedo-tasty and mindless. I'd like to second sicboi's comment. "Get back up on your feet and fight what holds you down." Say what you will, Burn is catchy. And at least its positive. I'm so sick of look at me I'm so tortured shit. Get back up on your feet and fight what holds you down. The reason these Throwdown cats are sXe at all is so they can save up money for their 400$ Paul Frank and other overpriced name brand outfits. "If you like Throwdown I'll bet you 50 bucks that you're wearing camo shorts and a white t-shirt at this very moment" "Better than amjority of hardcore bands." I never liked Throwdown. They seem like typical mosh metal hardcore, with no real depth or decent songwriting behind their music. Whats a good song to listen to that could potentially change the mind of someone who hates Throwdown? I mean, I don't like them, but its not like I gave them a big chance. i thought this album was actually quite good if youre a fan of real heavy stuff. as aubin mentioned, there is a lot of pantera and hatebreed influences showing. but to me, this is a good thing. Throwdown != Hardcore Prefer the likes of Agnostic Front and Hatebreed to this, being honest. I don't like the song "Burn" at all. moshcore = tough guy hardcore This band is terrible. 1) What the fuck is moshcore? Wow. Aubin, I got the same feeling. I've never been a fan of this guys, but listened to this last night and it stuck. Sounds to me like a mix between Pantera and Hatebreed. People are so fixated on the, uhm, macho nature of their fanbase, that they rarely actually listen to this band. I was not too impressed with Haymaker, but this album has a great Vulgar Display of Power thing going, and Dave Peters does a great job channeling Phil Anselmo. this is the only throwdown album i like That song "Burn" is pretty dope. "This So-Cal straight-edge moshcore group spends their entire lives brutalizing anyone that stands in their way" fuck this band this is pretty horrible This shit is an absolute mockery of what hardcore music used to mean. Black Flag, Minor Threat, Bad Brains – none of them were chump-monkeys preaching "respect." This is bad, bad stuff. "If you like Throwdown I'll bet you 50 bucks that you're wearing camo shorts and a white t-shirt at this very moment" "I heard from most Throwdown fans that this shit is crap." How does anything released on Trustkill get more than a three? this sucks "If you like Throwdown I'll bet you 50 bucks that you're wearing camo shorts and a white t-shirt at this very moment" How can anyone like this trash? Score is for the stupid video for and lyrics to "Forever". so bad If you like Throwdown I'll bet you 50 bucks that you're wearing camo shorts and a white t-shirt at this very moment oh the metalheads are crawling out their holes right now, well fuck em all I heard from most Throwdown fans that this shit is crap. So i'm wondering if maybe non-Throwdown fans will enjoy it? I'll give it a shot. HAYMAKER was a fucking joke though... I find it hard to take a band of hardcore kids that wear excessive Paul Frank clothing seriously. you've typed just as much words with those few lines... i dont even want to listen to throwdown, why do you think i would wanna read all these words and shit? Better than amjority of hardcore bands. |
