Biography

Hailing from Tampa, the Washdown is comprised of vocalist Michael Waksman, guitarist Gregg Schmidt, drummer Heath Dupras, bass player Bryan Bates, and second guitarist Ryan Hess. Together they derive a noisy, punk-inspired sound similar to the likes of the Sun, the Hives, and the Brian Jonestown Massacre but without a contrived persona. In 2002, the Washdown released their self-titled EP on Lookout. An early winter run through the States with Swedish rock darlings Sahara Hotnights followed, as well as an appearance at South by Southwest in March 2003.
