This 7" was Down To Nothing's debut on legendary Revelation Records. It's two original songs, Higher Learning (which was rerecorded for The Most LP) and the otherwise-unreleased Alright Already, plus a 4 Walls Falling cover. It's a Rev release, so it sounds really good, as it was used as something of a promotion for their existence on the label. This is actually my favorite recording of Higher Learning, which is just a really good song to begin with. Alright Already is cool simply because it shows a different side of DTN, blending some upstrokes with really simple core riffage. The love and respect given to Richmond scene predecessors 4 Walls Falling is actually one of the things I like most about DTN, and they of course do a really solid cover here, even getting the original singer of the band in on guest vox. Backed hard.
Track Listing:
- Higher Learning
- Alright Already
- Burn It! (4 Walls Falling)
What can I say about DTN that isn't common knowledge? This is the biggest band from Richtown, Va since Count Me Out or 4 Walls Falling, and with good reason. I'm not about saying anything too personal on a band like this, but I'll leave it with saying their live shows are consistently some of the funnest and most intense I've ever seen — and I've seen them a lot.
