“Actions” is a deeply personal song that vocalist/guitarist Lenny Costa penned about the ones closest to him spiraling out of control during his youth. “Watching my father, brother and best friend all walk away from their faith while dealing with cases of substance abuse and homelessness took a toll on me,” said Costa. “As someone who has experienced the fragile moments with my own faith, I hoped there was no god and heaven because I would have rather it been fake than me going to heaven without them.” Down Again writes music with a shared purpose, hoping to connect with the listener while being vulnerable regarding their shortcomings and struggles.
The band is rounded out with bassist Alex Wechter (bass) and Lucas Garcia who handles guitar for live shows and also provided drums, keys and additional vocals on the recording. “Actions” was produced and mixed by Nick Loiacono (Kingdom Of Giants, Wolf & Bear, Secret Band, Demon In Me). ‘The Devil Is A Gentlemen’ was also produced by Loiacono, and was recently completed with the band currently putting final touches on the effort.
