History

At one time they were a pop/punk band named 2540 which is a reference to Matthew 25:40 from the bible. The starting line up was brothers Daniel and Jeremy Swain on drums and guitar with Travis Bailey on bass. David Bunton sang in a pop/punk voice very different from his style of singing today. Josh soon joined the band as the Swain brothers quit for school and job reasons. Travis switched over to guitar when a band friend Andrew Hall took the drumming postion. Andrew lead the band in a more hardcore direction eventually changing their name to the Showdown. Late 2006, Andrew announced he was leaving the band to become a professional wrestler with WWE.

Their debut album titled "A Chorus Of Obliteration" was produced by Bruce Fitzhugh, lead singer of Living Sacrifice. The Showdown have set "Temptation Come My Way" as the title to their new album (expected to be released February 20th, 2007).

They have two taglines which are "High Voltage" and "Git Snake Bit"

While the band's first album A Chorus of Obliteration was mainly a metalcore album, they have shifted into southern rock, which will be the dominate element of the new album.
