"Wow!!! What a mind-blowing CD. The catchy beats and lyrics have me listening to this CD non-stop. I have waited a long time for a band like DownCycle to appear. Their following in Raleigh NC is massive and their fans are loyal. The voice of the lead singer Mike Bonavita combined with the guitars of BUk, Robby, bassist Todd P. and the drums of Barry make for a very interesting blend of music that everyone can listen to. For anyone who likes rock and enjoy listening to such bands as Staind, Tool ( A Perfect Circle), Fingereleven, etc. will enjoy this CD immensely. All in all I have enjoyed this CD and have bought many copies to give to my friends so that they may enjoy it as well. I have a feeling that DownCycle will be national soon and that they are here to stay so I encourage people to buy the CD and see what they think."

Down Cycle rocks...plain and simple.

"i've been hooked on Down Cycle since last summer when i saw them open for finger eleven. They are amazing, and the only travesty is that so few people out of Raleigh, NC have heard of them. the seven songs on this album are downright rocking. the only other band that really comes to mind with Down Cycle is Tool, but they're a little more immediate and straightforward than that. i've listened to the CD countless times in the year that i've gotten it, and it gives me energy every time i listen to it. from the sing-along catchiness of "Alone and Dirty" to the live energy of "Undone" and "Seep", Breathe This Life is an amazing CD. Down Cycle is definitely going places!"

"I first listened to this disc in the car and it was ok, then I listened to it real loud in the headphones and it was great. Most of the music is really straight forward but is delivered very well and with a lot of emotion. A great first effort from an independent band, they will surely be making some great records in the future. I reccomend to give it a chance."
