Don't Look Down

about

With their latest album The Fear In Love, Dont Look Down have departed from the world of adolescent pop/punk, this time exploring a darker, less traveled road. “There will always be some pop-punk influences there, but this is not a pop-punk record,” mulls front man Ryan Ogren, “It’s darker, lyrically and musically, than anything we have done in the past.” Together since high school, and still only in their early twenties, Dont Look Down have earned their stripes as relentless road-dogs, sharing stages nationwide with the likes of Yellowcard, Simple Plan, RUFIO, New Found Glory and endless others since releasing their debut full-length Start The Show in early 2002. With their honest and evolving style (a compelling and unique blend of pop/punk energy and dark, driving rock....played with precision and intensity) and impressive appetite for touring, Dont Look Down's hard work was paying off: the band sold over 5,000 copies of their Five EP, produced by Will Salazar (Fenix TX), on their own in a matter of months, Nitro Records snapped them up in 2003 and recently matched the band up with Brian McTernan for their sophomore album. The Fear In Love is Dont Look Down's next step in their sonic evolution. “We wanted there to be more of an emphasis on instrumentation on this record to show off our playing ability a bit more,” explains Ogren “We always want to keep challenging ourselves musically.” Producer Brian McTernan (Thrice, Cave In, Hot Water Music) played an integral roll
