Down In One

Hey ladies and gents! We're busy in the background getting back into shape for Kin'ellfest 2025 and we can't fu***ng wait to play, it's just a week away!

In the meantime, if you want to listen to Gon and a hungover James chat some s**t, Kev of Ready to Mosh very kindly interviewed us! You can check it out here:

EP 225: Special Guests Down In One | Ready to Mosh Listen to EP 225: Special Guests Down In One from Ready to Mosh. We're fast approaching the end of our Kin'ell Fest interviews and in this episode we have Down In One. You might recognize one of our guests in this episode, as James has previously been a guest right back at the start of our coverage....

Alright so we barely remember how to play our songs and playing in time is more of a wish than an actuality but enough about our last gig, we're back practising again!

We're busy dusting off the cobwebs but hopefully we'll have things to share soon!

Have I ever mentioned just how bad we are at social media? I may have mentioned it...

I didn't want to post anything until we had something to share as I really do hate vaguebooking (BIG THINGS COMING etc), but we are back! Again! Jimmy has completed his march across the US and we're now working on a new EP. We'll hopefully have something to share soon, but for now we do have our Spotify Wrapped to share.

At the start of the year I shared how Mad Gun got added to a playlist, which gave us a massive spike in listeners...it turns out that wasn't just a one off! Ever since Mad Gun was on that playlist we've had a lot of new listeners. How many you ask? Well, in 2023 we had 746 streams, 131 listeners in 19 countries.

This year...fu***ng hell, it's a bit of a jump!

We're so happy that Mad Gun has taken off like it has, the fact that 7000 people this year listened to one of our tracks 10,000 times is insane! Big love to everyone who's been streaming our music this year, we can't wait to share some new tracks and get gigging again!

Well this was some pretty wild news to see today...a goddamn 13,680% increase in listeners compared to the previous month!

As it turns out Mad Gun got added to a playlist on Spotify which got us around 500 listens in one day, so uh s**t, thank you to whoever added us to that playlist and we're glad people seem to have liked the song!

We should really start shamelessly promoting ourselves more 😂

Given the band won't be gigging for a while I figure I'll just spam you guys with memes until I have something better to share 😂

Anyway, here's a rare glimpse into the Down In One recording process, a typical conversation when recording vocals.

We at Down In One just wanted to thank our amazing friends for their continued support and love, your kind words in such beautifully heartfelt messages such as the below mean the world to us 😂

Well it's that Spotify Wrapped time of year again! We've had a fun year playing some great gigs with good friends and to top it off we released the Hold Fast EP back in May!

Just wanted to again thank each and every one of you kind folks for listening to and sharing our music, it seriously means the world to us!

Now unfortunately we also have a bit of a sad announcement to make, we possibly won't be gigging for at least half a year as our resident man who hits things Jimmy will be away. However it's for an incredible cause, Jimmy will be walking the 2200 mile Appalachian Trail in memory of founding Down In One guitarist Jonny Young.

As part of his walk Jimmy is raising money for Movember, so if you can spare it and would like to donate please follow the below link:

As for the rest of us, we'll be figuring out what we can do in the meantime! There's still plenty to do, we may still be able to gig if we can work out how to use a drum machine or backing track, or we may spend the time working on another EP and the next full album. Whatever it is we'll be sure to be less s**t at social media and will keep you guys updated!

Gigging next weekend! Doors at 4pm so get down early; day drinking is good for you.
