Downset

Hiphop hardcore group from Los Angeles formed in the late 80s as part of the thriving hardcore scene. As the original blenders of rap, funk, hardcore, punk, metal, and socially aware lyrics, they drew influences from Black Flag to Black Sabbath, Public Enemy to Bob Marley.

Their albums include 'Downset' (1994), 'Do We Speak a Dead Language?' (1996), 'Check Your People' (2000) and 'Universal' (2004).

The band officially split in May 2009 but announced a return to touring in Europe over the summer of 2013.
