Crash Music UK reviews The Slowdown’s debut album A:

‘All Gone’ [is] not only the best track on the album, but a track that…shows The Slowdown’s potential as a rock band who could satisfy a mature audience at a sold out show…they could be one of the future’s best rock bands.

7 Bit Arcade reviews The Slowdown’s debut album A:

It all clicks together…on ‘Wardance‘, which sounds like Bon Jovi covering System Of A Down. It has everything from the menacing vocals of lead singer Sam Hoskins, with a slinking synth line and chugging guitars. It’s captivating.

Oklahoma Lefty reviews The Slowdown’s debut album A:

The Slowdown’s album A is a fascinating mixture of styles and influences. Pulling from everything from U2 to Faith No More (the Mike Patton years) to the Smashing Pumpkins (post Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness) to Tool to Radiohead, The Slowdown has created a sound that is incredibly unique.

The Deli Magazine reviews The Slowdown’s debut album A:

…a fantastic modern rock-inspired, heavy indie sound. With the combination of distorted riffs, clean and plucky bass, and smooth percussion overtones, this six-piece band definitely knows how to write a song.

RothnRoll reviews The Slowdown’s debut album A:

“Kansas city based The Slowdown ain´t your average rock band, even though they´re influenced by bands like Radiohead, Killing Joke and Led Zeppelin…The Slowdown´s got a unique sound. There are traces of psychedelic 70´s rock on their debut album A but also a huge dose of 90´s postrock and pieces of experimental music.”

Truth or Sarah reviews The Slowdown’s debut album A:

“The Slowdown’s “A” is definitely not a cookie-cutter rock album…really listening to them draws out the quirks that make the band so special. The band has a strong vocalist that doesn’t need to show off his skills…The band also doesn’t skip out on well-written and emotional lyrics…Their mature rock sound needs no frills–and they definitely don’t need drama to push their sales. Their passion is heard in the production of such an intense roller coaster of a record. Their slick infusion of electronica/synths gives them an additional aspect to admire. The anthemic album is sure to not disappoint.”

The Deli Magazine features “To Wonder”, the new single from The Slowdown:

“To Wonder” is a bit more straightforward than the band’s previous single, “A Mirror, A Torch.” The song is driven by Sam Hoskin’s whispy vocals, atmospheric backing vocals, and constantly moving backbeat, with a heavy alternative but bluesy Jerry Cantrell-style guitar solo to top things off.”
