A real no hoper...

The Let Downs developed due to outcasts, born in the sixties and meeting another born in '71. An odd gathering of dropouts from such San Diego bands as... the Tell-Tale Hearts, Fishwife, the Hoods and Crankshaft. A realization of atomic-subterfuge melded the fissure's of The Let Downs mind's from four ideas into one singular glorious "escapade". Then they remembered they also had a organ player who knew nothing about fissures of the mind because he played a "Farfisa".

Only rare raw analog bootleg recordings have been previously available. And the minimal information from the band about up and coming releases makes seekers into angry mobs at gigs.

Who they are...

Ryan Foxe - Implorable virtuoso
Ron Swart - Farfisa manifestation
Jeremy Reid - Singerland slinger
Marc Schroeder - Capitain fuzz
Tod Swank - 4 string motherfucker
