Age of Ignorance toes the "Slayer-line," an imaginary line in which a band straddles being a hardcore band or a metal act. However, Downpresser are thankfully fast enough to keep hardcore kids happy, but also have enough blistering solos to have even the most inept air guitar player swinging a mean imaginary axe. In a hardcore world filled to the brim with crappy "deathcore" bands singing about rape and partying, it's good to see bands like Downpresser keeping metallic hardcore, well, hardcore." - Age of Ignorance review, http://www.scenepointblank.com, December 2009".Downpresser are bringing back back the hard style. When I saw their influences (Stigmata, Madball, etc.) on myspace, I thought, 'I'm pretty sure this band is good.' My instincts were right. The cover art is great, the vocals are intense with no low growl or whatever. It's just pissed. Really pissed. .overall, the recording is well done. They got a nice southern twist in the guitar sound. Only on vinyl so far, I hope this will be on CD soon so more peeps could get into it. 6 songs, over 15 minutes of pure hardcore with solos, fast parts and groovy breakdowns." - Tremblay, Perverted Justice review, http://www.lifersmontreal.com, October 2008"HARDcore. Between these guys and Violation, Santa Barbara is responsible for two of the best NY influenced hardcore bands in the world, let alone California.There's some real cool influences from the Cro-Mags to more 90's style NYHC without dragging along some of the cheese of that era. (Believe it). Perverted Justice." - Sound And Fury, March 2008".DOWNPRESSER brings brutal in-your-face hardcore with crushing breakdowns to the floor. Yes, there are about 20 million other bands doing this but there are a few who do it really well and DOWNPRESSER is one of them. If your into heavier stuff like BLACKLISTED, COLD WORLD and GUNS UP.this is for you! Without a doubt one of the better releases." - Per Koro Records Newsletter, Germany, March 2008
