downset.
Founded in Los Angeles in the late 80′s as part of the thriving hardcore scene, downset has evolved into an icon of sorts. As the original blenders of rap, funk, hardcore, punk, metal, and socially aware lyrics, they drew influences from Black Flag to Black Sabbath, Public Enemy to Bob Marley.

downset. OG's 20 years after!
Since May of this year James Morris, Roy Lozano and Chris Lee have been jamming at various studios and rehearsal locations in the great one eight. It’s been over 20 years since they were doing their thing in Social Justice and a couple years later in downset. The jams have been very fun and productive and have produced over 8 hours of song ideas. We decided to go forward with it and see what it can produce. Roy is coining it “L.A. Anger”, but I’m sure the name will change as the music develops. All i can say about it at this point is Post-hardcore with some 80′s influence and some downsetesque stuff!! Sorry for the crappy picture, but phones are just that, phones and we wanted to make sure we captured the moment! lol. Good stuff! We’ll keep you posted of the progress in an upcoming blog post!)-KR
