Hailing from a small city Concord, North Carolina, Damsel Down has made a big impact on the local music scene in the short two years they have been playing as a band. Four musicians with very different musical backgrounds have found their place in a highly competitive musical market that is Charlotte, North Carolina. With their 2010 debut release, “Now We Rise”, Damsel Down has created a major buzz. The first singles 'Shine' and 'My Way' have been featured on radio stations internationally, and have had great success on the charts in the United Kingdom. In the United States, topping alternative and rock charts including the number one position for weeks at a time.
As professional musicians, they have continued to prove themselves as assets to major promoters as well as live music venue and club owners. Priding themselves on hard work and good music, Damsel Down has accomplished in a short time what many people work years to achieve. Damsel Down has been featured on major festivals, including 'The Coca-Cola 600 Festival' opening for Corey Smith. Damsel Down has also been nominated for 'Best Rock Band' for the 2010 Carolina Music Awards, held yearly in Raleigh, NC.
They have been reviewed in such magazines as 'Creative Loafing' in which the reviewer stated “Damsel Down's music lies in that radio-friendly brand of metal – melodic lyrics combined with heavy drumming and some loud and energetic guitar riffs. It's music that's built for clubs and larger venues – you won't hear this blowing the doors off of a small place. There aren't a lot of local bands in this genre, of this quality"
Damsel Down strives to continue delivering good solid music to a growing fan base. They are looking to branch out into the Regional market, and opening for more acts as well as headlining local shows. With a number of great shows under their belt, they are hoping to take the Carolina Music scene by storm.
