My taste in hardcore has always been pretty picky. I don't like bands that seem to rip off other artists sound and try to come off tough and asshole-ish. I also don't enjoy when these hardcore bands try to impose hypocritical views on their listeners (ex. straight-edge, satanism, etc). Some hardcore band's sound gets old fast and they run out of things to offer. Throwdown are one of those bands that have lost it. Due to a seemingly obvious obsession with Pantera and breakdowns, Throwdown has strayed away from their original hard-hitting barrage of traditional hardcore reminiscent of early Terror and  Hatebreed and traded it for this kind of low grade metal-core sound that is tired and somewhat boring. Hardcore is about community and Throwdown has shown their older followers where they stand.
Although, despite the fact that the album 'Haymaker' is the band's first hint at their downward spiral, it has been featured in one of the funniest videos I've ever seen. Watch as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles rip it up in this hilarious overdub from the song, Intro. "What's up Motherfuckers! Lets tear this motherfucker up!"
no Throwdown mp3. Trustkill is a greedy record company, so they won't let their artists download samples of their artists. (sigh)
