Closedown

Closedown is the name of two bands. The earlier Closedown was one of the earliest American shoegaze bands. They existed for only a few years in the early 1990s and released their sole album, Nearfield, in 1994. The later Closedown was formed in central Quebec in early 2003 but could really call themselves Closedown since mid 2004. The band is now known as a unique blend of loud experimental and psychedelic rock, a violent and melodic hardcore, and an original way of converging electronic and acoustic guitars. A style one could call electro-hardcore. The guys in Closedown immediately impressed with their willingness to crush conventional logic and to push themselves into new artistic directions instead of opting for the more marketable sounds of today. With strong psycho-social lyrics, deep honest words and clear ideas, their first CD/EP, released in 2005, has been distributed world wide. They are now ready to tour year-round to show-off what they are made of.
