Editor's note

Throwdown's heavy Orange County hardcore

A California band that mixed metal aggression with hardcore energy across seven albums.

If you want to hear what they were about, put on 'Godspeed' or 'Venom And Tears.' That's the sound they built their name on.

Throwdown mattered because they delivered exactly what hardcore fans wanted: heavy, driving songs that hit hard and stayed in rotation. 'Godspeed' became one of those tracks people kept coming back to, and 'Venom And Tears' from their 2006 album showed they could maintain that intensity. They weren't reinventing anything, but they played their style with conviction.

They started in Orange County in the late 1990s with a raw sound on 'Beyond Repair.' By 2002's 'You Don't Have to Be Blood to Be Family,' they had 'Holy Roller' becoming a hardcore staple. They kept releasing albums through the 2000s, with Dave Peters as the constant guitarist, until 2015's 'New Way of Thinking.'

Archive material and source history

Throwdown came out of Orange County, California in the late 1990s, playing a heavy mix of hardcore and metal. Their early shows built a following, and they put out their first album, 'Beyond Repair,' in 1999. The sound was raw and aggressive from the start.

Things picked up with their third album, 'You Don't Have to Be Blood to Be Family,' in 2002. That record had 'Holy Roller' on it, which became a staple in hardcore circles. They kept putting out albums through the 2000s, including 'Venom & Tears' in 2006, which gave them the track 'Venom And Tears.'

The band's lineup shifted over time, with guitarist Dave Peters being a constant through most of it. They released seven studio albums in total, the last one being 'New Way of Thinking' in 2015. Songs like 'Godspeed' and 'Discipline' show the kind of heavy, driving material they were known for.
