  throwdown: indecision records
Throwdown have been the Orange County, California hardcore scene’s flagship band since 1997, grabbing the torch lit by the seminal OC punk bands of the ‘80s and early ‘90s and carrying it to heretofore uncharted heights.
What’s allowed Throwdown to persist and endure is the urgency of their music and a fiercely loyal dedication to their relationships with their friends, their fans and each other.
A Throwdown show is a sweaty display of solidarity between brothers and sisters, united through their diversity and a celebration of independent thought free from mainstream constraints.

 Throwdown - Together, Forever, United - Montag Press
I used to think Throwdown were a joke, a clichéd straight-edge jockcore band that bounced around singing vaguely-homoerotic fist-in-the-air dirges about loyalty and friendship.
If there's one thing I've learnt from ‘Together, Forever, United' it's that even Throwdown themselves thought they were a joke, a clichéd straight-edge jockcore band but the friendship and loyalty was straight from their collective hearts.
Revolver called them ‘the future of metal'; and never before has the future looked so familiar; gone are the inapproachable big-haired egomaniacal metal-gods and instead are a bunch of kids in jeans and band t-shirts.

 Throwdown (2004)
Unlike nearly all commercial film made in the whole wide world, Throwdown is a movie of that asks the viewer to pretty much absorb what's happening and to draw their own conclusions.
Again, Throwdown does not do much work for the audience, but the sheer amount of work it doesn't do could be overwhelming for someone who really enjoyed, say, Moving Targets.
Throwdown is loaded with cinematic set pieces and moments of offhand coolness which simply leap from the screen, and Johnnie To dispenses much of it with layer upon layer of keen storytelling style.

It's a tradition that has been carried on by Throwdown, a no-holds barred, mosh pit conducting crew of straight-edge musicians whose lyrical self-determination is as uncompromising as their heavy music.
Not afraid to attack in song those who have left their scene and its ideals behind, Throwdown isn't a band that writes "parts" intended to incite the dance floor: their songs are nothing but pure, unadulterated, stomping mosh from start to finish.
Throwdown formed in the summer of 1997, releasing their debut, self-titled 7" single that same year through Prime Directive Records.

Throwdown created a rumble in the underground with a handful seminal releases in the late 90s issued through California's Indecision label that cemented the band as an integral part of the hardcore scene and endeared them to an audience hungry for the next Earth Crisis.
Throwdown truly found their voice, both literally and figuratively, with "Haymaker." The songs on the band's Trustkill Records debut, most notably the MTV2 "Headbanger's Ball" staple "Forever," were the next logical step forward for the band, who rightly elected to elevate their status beyond "project" into a full-time touring machine.
What allows the band to persist and endure, and has made "Vendetta" the fullest realization of their vision, is the urgency inherent in their music and their fiercely loyal dedication to their friends, families, fans, and each other.

UFC Throwdown starts off with a montage of footage from the UFC, showing all the nasty kicks and moves of the selectable characters, to a kick ass metal rock track to show you what the UFC is all about.
Lastability isn’t a major issue with Throwdown, because it takes a while to master all the moves of each fighter and the career mode will take a while to complete, plus you will want to unlock all of the hidden moves and characters.
Graphically, Throwdown is very good, the fighters look realistic and it’s easy to work out which fighter is which.

Following much discussion between Rip Curl, TTR and the Snow Park New Zealand team, it was unanimously decided that the inaugural Rip Curl Throwdown snowboarding event would not take place in 2005 due to unsuitable weather and snowboarding conditions in New Zealand.
The 2005 snow season has been labeled the worst in over 30 years and it was deemed that conditions would not allow Rip Curl to deliver the world’s best snowboarders with the world class event they deserve.
The first ever Rip Curl Throwdown was awarded an official TTR license for 2005 and scheduled as the second event on TTR’s new Southern Hemisphere leg this season.

 IGN: UFC: Throwdown Review
Developed by Opus, the same team that handled the PlayStation version of the initial installment all those seasons ago, UFC Throwdown returns to the octagon in an effort to capture the increasingly popular sport of No-Holds Barred Combat.
While its good to see that old time mainstays like UFC Mode, Career, and Training are still the primary cogs in the engine, it was still a bit disappointing not to find any new options or selections to choose from.
Identical is almost every way to the first UFC title, Throwdown has a strong fighting engine that's chalk full of value, but that's also what keeps it from becoming one of the top PS2 Fighters: It's similarity to the original game.
