We are DOWN ON EARTH
Down On Earth is a four-piece pop-rock band from Zurich that makes people reflect through their energetic music. The lyrics of the songs are critical reflections on contemporary issues that question the status quo - combining rhythm and lyrics in honest and powerful music, without gimmicks.
The band was founded in 2017 by lead singer and guitarist Andrea Lorefice after he returned from his street music project “Busking Through Europe”. He travelled through Europe for six months with his acoustic guitar and played music on the streets of the continent's major cities. He processed his experiences in his songs and returned with a large repertoire.
Three new singles will be released in summer 2024: the first single, Lullaby, addresses the longing for a hopeful future and captures the dreams and resilience of those striving for a better life. Loud and angry, Predicament criticises the fast fashion industry, addressing the environmental and social costs of our consumer choices. Lastly, Inheritance deals with the legacy we will leave for future generations. The song emphasises the urgent need for environmental awareness and social responsibility. Three topics where small individual actions are at least as relevant as a comprehensive change in today's habits and norms.
