Reachdown was born on January 25, 1999 in
Northern California . In its beginning
stages, Reachdown concentrated on its sound
and style, pulling from and listening to all
genres of music. Everything from Sam Cooke
to the Melvin's has helped to create the
diverse and versatile band they are today.
They are a collective of sound, existing to
persist and change the ever evolving
definition of music itself. Gabriel
contributes the long lost vocal range and
power that contemporary singers of old
displayed before TRY teeny bopper bands and
corporate America of the late nineties drove
a stake into the heart of the music
industry. “Punk was a pointless movement, it
obviously didn't succeed, rock and roll is
dead.” Bassist Peter Souza was raised during
the late eighties and has no grasp of
musical history at all, and has no idea who
Led Zeppelin is. He heard the song “Rock and
Roll” and thought it was a Cadillac
commercial. It is perhaps his complete
isolation from the roots of music that gives
him his unique and creative sound. Monk,
rhythm guitarist, hates the progressive
metal movement of late and brings to the
table songwriting skills that rival those of
Johnny Cash and the Beatles. “(prog metal)
is the most unfelt, sterile music I've ever
heard, you'll never get laid listening to
Joe Saurian. But I can promise you that you
get a six pack and an AC/DC album, they're
will be a happy ending.” Drummer Mark
Allele's is heralded by critics as bridging
the gap between power and technique: Neil
Part and John Bonham's bastard child. Lead
guitarist Armando Sanchez was raised on
great rock gods of yore such as Randy
Rhoads, Dave Muscatine and John Patrice. He
is a student of Musicians Institute in
Hollywood California and when not tending to
his throngs of fatherless children, he
enjoys fine tequila and whale watching.
Reachdown incorporates a sound that
embellishes the pioneering approach to
recording music of the 60's, the hard rock
anthems of the 70's, the atmospheric English
post-punk sound of the 80's, and the heavy
crunch attitude of the 90's. They are a
welcomed return to rock, done with an
original fresh grandeur.
