“The song was born during a period when Jesse [guitar/vocals] was facing serious health challenges. I connected deeply with that, having fought my own battles with health. Together, we were able to channel those experiences into something that, despite its origins, radiates a sense of positivity.” – Richard Lardner [vocals]
Featuring Rich Lardner of Lock & Key and ex-We Struck Gold members. Downpour’s journey began with a shared love for the intensity of melodic hardcore music and a desire to push boundaries.

With each track, they channel raw emotion into anthems of empowerment, resonating with fans who find solace and strength in their music.
