Engine Down

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

"Groove-oriented emprise brushed with shades of Drive Like Jehu and grounded in a rocking emo sensibility" begins to characterize Engine Down's musical demeanor. The Richmond quartet met in Harrisonburg, VA, before embarking on their eastward migration to the Virginian capital. Comprised of former Sleepytime Trio, the Weak Link Breaks, and Bughummer members, Engine Down debuted at a murder mystery flick. They first released a self-titled 7" through Lovitt in 1998, their full-length Under the Pretense of Present Tense following later that year. After tha...[more]

 

 

After such a powerful, dynamic first album, Engine Down could have rested on their collective laurels, basking in the praise of critic and lay listener alike. Engine Down, however, were not content to recycle musical patterns from the last album, deciding instead to take the calculated risk of surprising the listener with innovative songwriting and lyricism. Succeeding admirably, their second full-length, "To Bury Within the Sound," represents a different facet of Engine Down, but a facet based on the found   [ read more ]

The Mediterranean circa B.C. - when Crete flourished in culture and life. The famous bull-jumpers performed their dangerous sport in utter bliss with no worries of death as the town square bustled with daily activity. At that time, it seemed like a utopia.

Music that transcends the toils of everyday life in our modern age- travelling through time touching the rawest of human emotion. Explosive bursts of energy, lush guitars along wi   [ read more ]

The definitive Engine Down record. Their self-titled Lookout debut is a breath of fresh angst-ridden air for the indie rock underground. The time and hard work the band invested in this album is evident on every track. Each song is a perfect combination of jagged, soaring guitars, melodic vocals, and unrelenting drums, with strings and piano heightening the arrangements and intensifying the dynamic power of the album. They've crafted an album that is rawer in every way, reflecting exactly who they are: a r   [ read more ]

After two critically embraced and well-received albums, Engine Down present "Demure," a full-length that will surprise their most ardent fans, although it's inviting and accessible to those unfamiliar with their efforts to date. "Demure" captures an intriguing level of introspection only subtly hinted at in previous work, and the underlying pattern throughout the album is efficiency. The group's approach towards their third full-length is that of repetitious, droning guitars complemented by simplistic synco   [ read more ]
