Downshift is a metal band from Omaha,NE. We've been around for the better part of 7 years. Many people have come and gone in the band, but now, the line up is complete. This one works. If you'd like to compare, search Downshift on Soundclick, you'll see our old stuff. Its a new dawn and a new day. Downshift is breathing again...
Band/artist history
For a machine to work, all the moving parts need to work together, in sync and without limitation. If one part fails to operate the way it should, the whole machine breaks down. Downshift is a perfect example of this reality put into practicality. Having been born in Omaha, NE in early 1999, Downshift has gone through many overhauls in its existence. Previous lineups allowed the band to work, but never really gave anyone involved a sense of stability in the music. Downshift has existed above and below ground for years before the final part was added to the machine in mid 2003. Previous lineups crippled the progression of the machine in late 2002. Downshift had been looking for the right vocal part for the better part of a year, as the old one had rusted and fallen off. They continued to write, and after more than 18 months of searching, they found Jeph Geaghan. Sometimes it takes awhile to find the piece that works the best. Jeph was coming from another Omaha area band called Enevel. He possessed exactly what the remaining three were looking for, a very defined, emotional voice. They knew that Jeph would lead them in the direction they wanted their music to go in. In late 2004, producer J3507 was added to the line up to take care of keyboards, samples, and programming. The lineup is complete.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
We are a region band concentrating on the midwest region, consisting of Omaha, Lincoln, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Kansas City, and Denver markets.
What equipment do you use?
Downshift beats the shit out of Ibanez guitars, Ampeg, Genz Benz, and Mapex gear.
