Throwdown - by Pillar

Hehe; so: I may or may not find myself dreaming about drums tonight as I've spent 7+ hours editing them today (still more to do - though, let me clarify: they weren't a bad take by any means [in fact, it was awesome] - just simply having everything neat & tidy & EQ'd, compressed, etc. & a clean session...).  Just lettin' ya know.
That aside:

I love this song.
Pillar is from Tulsa, OK.  Starting in 1998 (originally in Kansas), they came together & in the next year independently released "Metamorphosis".  After one more release ("Original Superman"[ind.; 2000]), the rising stars were signed to Flicker Records, & not too long after, current guitarist Noah Henson came into the scene.  Pillar won their first Dove Award in 2001, for Hard Music Album of the Year with "Above"[Flicker; 2000].  From "Above" until their 2008 release "For the Love of the Game", they've been working with producer Travis Wyrick (Éowyn, Spoken, Disciple); however, their latest, "Confessions"[Essential; 2009] was with Rob Graves (Red, Wavorly, Natalie Grant) - the album also got them another Dove Awards nomination (wins aside) for Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year' in 2010.  This song is from "For the Love of the Game" (which was also nominated for Rock Album of the Year).
