The time has come to call it a day!It is with great regret that Struckdown have decided to call it a day. We have tried in vain to find a singer over the last 8 months with no joy. We could moan that people were taking our adverts down or some rubbish like that, but maybe we were setting our sights too high as we just couldn’t find someone to carry on with the writing ability and stage presence that we were used to with Darren and while a couple of applicants were pretty good we just couldn’t find anyone we thought could fit the bill and take the band to the next level we had hoped for and build on what we had started.
So rather than flog a dead horse as it were we are going to wind it up, and be grateful for the good run we had and all the gigs and drinking time we spent with you lot.Struckdown would like to thank all the promoters they worked with and everyone who came to the gigs over the last 3 years and supported us as we have had a blast.
We got through to the South East finals of the JD soundcheck battle of the bands and came second missing out on the final by one point, both Darren and PJ got to play the Underworld in Camden something we had both really wanted to do at some point and playing the Clapham Grand is always something special. Also a big thank you to some cracking bands that we have played with in that time especially the Auger Bane guys with whom we played a number of occasions and the Alzir guys who got stranded in London after one gig having travelled up from Southampton.
Special thanks to the ‘In laws’ of Rock, Keri and Donna whom attended pretty much every gig from the first one at the Clapham Grand to our last one at the Brief in Croydon (yeah I’m surprised I remember that one as well lol) regardless of where we played and for their endless enthusiasm and support for what we were doing.
So what now? well we are all doing other projects and the details are below if you’d like to check us out in our new projects and add us, I know we will continue to see some of you at our gigs with the new projects in the future.
All the best
Struckdown.
