FACEDOWN FTW

David McClanahan and Mikey Frank first joined together in 2000 and formed the band SOLITARY CONFINEMENT with several others and started the writing process. Things started slowly due to the fact that Mikey moved from guitar to drums, and David from drums to vocals. SOLITARY CONFINEMENT continued writing and recorded a 5 song demo with each member playing bass since there wasn't one. After completion of the demo and a few shows under their belt they brought in a bass player to pick up the bass duties. In late 2002 one of the guitarist left and they continued on under the name FACEDOWN FTW. However the former member returned in summer of 2003 followed by a loss of another due to personal reasons. By 2004 the band felt they had a solid line up and recorded the full length album "A NEW BREED OF METAL." In early 2005 they lost another member of FACEDOWN FTW for family reasons. Josh Henderson arrived to complete the line up playing guitar. With a line up the band felt was solid, 2006 seemed like a year for things to happen. Unfortunately the things that happened left the band with the loss of their bass player. Like clockwork the band immediately found Bobby Tennison to play bass, and shortly after had to replace their guitarist, and recruited Jason Stevens. In 2006 FACEDOWN FTW disbanded and reformed in 2007 with members Mikey, David, Aaron, Josh, Bobby, and Jason to becomeSUICIDE OPERA
