The hardcore band Poured Out has decided to call it quits. They’ve been around for 3 years and have released two EPs and one studio album titled To the Point of Death. The band has been signed to Facedown Records for a year. Yesterday, the band put out a statement that they have decided to call it quits. The band is slated to play Facedown Fest in May, but I bet that will not be the final show. They are working on the date currently for their final show.… Continued →

The hardcore band Nothing Left has signed to Facedown Records! The band formed in October last year but all members have much experience in a band and the musical business. Ryan (Guitar) and Brandon Leitru (Guitar, Bass) are the brothers formerly from For Today, Danon Saylor (Vocals) is a former member of A Bullet for Pretty Boy and Alex Camarena (Drums) of Silent Planet behind the kit. The band has an EP coming out on April 21, 2017 called Destroy and Rebuild. The band is playing at Facedown Fest 2017.… Continued →

So everyone is excited for Facedown Fest 2017 because of the 20th anniversary. Many bands are coming back out of retirement including A Plea for Purging, Bloodlined Calligraphy and Nodes of Ranvier.

• Jon Parker – Guitar
• Ryan Knutson – Drums, Vocals
• Kyle Benecke – Vocals
• Scott McGuire – Bass
• Sheldon Swan – Guitar

Thanks to Jon for sending me this!… Continued →

Facedown Records has just announced the lineup for Facedown Fest 2017. The festival has hosted many bands that were signed to other labels or the subsidiary Strike First Records, including Clear Convictions (Strike First), Comrades (ex-Blood and Ink), Bloody Sunday (Strike First) and several others. This year is the 20th anniversary of the label so they have had many of their prominent acts come join in or even reunite. The label is also hosting the Fest for 3 days, which is very abnormal as it is usually a one day event.… Continued →

Facedown Records has been rather notorious for throwing a festival each year since the early 2000’s to give people a show and sometimes to showcase bands for the label. On December 26, Impending Doom spoiled that they would be playing, though Facedown is no longer their label. In May, the 11th through the 13th is when the festival will occur. Another interesting tidbit, each member of the defunct band A Plea for Purging also shared the dates via his Instagram. None of the members are in another band, and there wasn’t another band they were in on Facedown, so best bet is A Plea for Purging reunion.… Continued →
