"Downstar"
We are just a bunch of guys that love playing music.
Downstar, is a band of many styles, and cant be put into just one genre after listening to all the music. The band, starting with living guitar legend Skot Pearson and vocalist Dave Pearson, began with relentless force unseen by any incomplete band, at least to my knowledge. These were the days where old songs such as Haunted Dreams, For all the Pain, Everything, Puppet and Revelation came out. They promoted the songs all over the internet, quickly gaining a crowd of listeners. As the continued to write in an unfinished two man band, with help from synthesised drums, bass, and synth, together they wrote many songs while shifting styles from heavy metal, slowly toward the industrial scene. Not intensionally, but through time lapse and taste in music expanding, the screaming and growling divided from song to song, to singing and vocal effects were introduced into the music along with the harsh in your face tell. The two man band thrived, utilizing and improving on the synthetic energy from computerized band members, jamming out and playing the music they felt like playing, staying away from particular genres, just playing to play, reguardless the requests and urging from friends and fans, many who missed the heavier stuff. But not to worry, they would never abandon the metal they still passionately love. Downstar has been through many line ups, most short and didnt work out, so didnt last.
Downstar has progressed into an incredible stretch of genre's of music, keeping the same thunder and heart, and managing to blend it all together as they explore all kinds of music from rap core, to downrite heavy metal to grunge, industrial, to even techno. Keep updated, we post new news regularly.
Regretably, the separation of guitarist Skot Pearson and vocalist/synthist David Pearson after Dave moved out to Southern Maine, has caused the band to be at pause, until Skot graduates high school and reunites with his brother. In the break time, each has started a solo project in the techno/industrial genre, even now, still honing their skills and improving their expertise in all genres of music. So we can all expect that after this reunition, the hear a blast of improvement, and an explosive release of new music, uncomparable to the old songs of Downstar. We're waiting on a musical revelation people. A two year separation, where each artist continues to grow and improve beyond what could be imagined, and when it all comes together...expect a blast!
