DOWN’s three-disc (2 CD/1 DVD) release, “Diary Of A Mad Band”, came out last October. It features a two-CD full concert recorded in London. The 130-minute DVD features footage documenting the 2006 return of DOWN from the practice room through the band’s first European tour, and a bonus behind-the-scenes featurette entitled “Tyrades and Shananigans”.
In October 2008, DOWN released a “deluxe edition” of its critically acclaimed third album, “Over the Under”. The deluxe package, which was made available as a Best Buy exclusive, included a DVD with over 30 minutes of previously unreleased live performances and behind-the-scenes footage. The album was released on Down Records in conjunction with Warner Music Group’s Independent Label Group (ILG).
