Down To Nothing — Demo 2002


This was one of the first things Down To Nothing ever recorded, when they were just getting started. It's almost a decade later, but this demo still holds its own with the rest of their releases. The recording quality is pretty solid, and the music and vocals are classic DTN — with the exception of being a little more metalcore. But the unbridled rage and hard breakdowns are still there, and the straight edge vibe is pervasive to say the least. The song 'Burn' was rerecorded on 'Splitting Headache,' and 'I Hope It's Worth It,' the secret song on 'Save It For The Birds' is on here too. Pretty good stuff.

Down To Nothing — Demo 2002

Track Listing:
  1. Keep Your Head Up
  2. Burn
  3. Life Of The Party
  4. Used Up
  5. Contaminated
  6. Stand Down
  7. I Hope It's Worth It
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 writing 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.

Down To Nothing — Hem Hem

Happy April 1st!

Yes, it is actually Down To Nothing. They recorded a couple hundred, but really only sold them at one show.

No, I don't know why they thought recording this was a good idea. It is hilarious though!

  4. Crucifixion Of The Bunghole

Down To Nothing — Higher Learning 7"


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.
