Downpressor is a four piece rock band that uses reggae and punk influences to create a unique sound. The band has been playing together since 1997. Singer and guitarist Frank Wirtz energizes the crowd with his fiery lyrics, while lead guitarist and vocalist Charlie Wirtz expands the band's sound with a variety of guitar riffs and vocal harmonies. Drummer Keith Lawton and bassist Mark Bertrand keep the crowd moving with their heavy rhythm. Originating in San Pedro, Downpressor has played the South Bay's hottest venue and has generated a loyal local following. The band has self produced a five song demo CD and a ten song CD, and recently released a two song demo. The band plans to continue playing shows and distribute their new demo in hopes of securing label representation.
Born in the late 1990s in the heart of Los Angeles, California, Downpressor began as a three-piece band known as Downtime before evolving into the heavier, more politically charged force that would become Downpressor. Blending hard rock, punk, and reggae into a raw and aggressive sound, the band captured the frustration, rebellion, and uncertainty of teenage life through socially and politically driven lyrics that reflected the tension of the era.
The lineup featured Keith Lawton on drums, Mark Bertrand on bass, and Charlie and Frank Wirtz sharing guitar and vocal duties. Together, they built a reputation throughout the Southern California underground music scene with energetic live performances and a relentless DIY spirit. Downpressor became a familiar name on the Sunset Strip circuit, regularly performing at legendary venues like The Roxy Theatre and Coconut Teaszer, earning a loyal local following with their genre-crossing sound and unapologetic intensity.
Driven by pounding rhythms, melodic reggae influences, and gritty punk aggression, Downpressor stood apart from the polished alternative scene of the time. Their music reflected the anxieties of youth, disillusionment with politics and society, and the search for identity in a rapidly changing world.
After several years the band quietly dissolved sometime in the late 2000s for reasons unknown, leaving behind rough memories, underground shows, and a sound that resonated with a generation navigating chaos and change.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
