THE SLOWDOWN is a 4-piece diversely-influenced band from Kansas City, MO. The conception of THE SLOWDOWN began in 2006 when singer/songwriter/guitarist Sam Hoskins began writing and recording home demos with bassist/recording engineer Jeremy Wilson. After 2 1/2 years of recording, writing, and medicating THE SLOWDOWN recruited fellow alchemist Josh Johnson for additional guitar duties. THE SLOWDOWN Ver. 1.0 Added Big Jim Organ (Sirhan Sirhan) behind the drum kit, and the band gained instant recognition in the Kansas City rock scene with their brooding heavy and melodic live shows. A very short time afterwards the band was added to the roster of Middle Child Booking. The band recently returned from a successful tour through the North West and West Coast supporting they're new self titled E.P. THE SLOWDOWN plans to do regional dates and another tour in September. Enjoy and thank you for listening, and be on the lookout. . .
