Downpour becomes ThePower&TheGlory

As we recently told you, Atlanta's Downpour has been forced to change their name by another band of the same name, which possesses the "Downpour" trademark. Well, the group has now officially changed their name to ThePower&TheGlory. The outfit will release their Deathwish Inc. debut on October 2003. The album was recorded by Kurt Ballou and features artwork from Jacob Bannon. Meanwhile, they'll be hitting the road next week for a US tour. A few of the dates have yet to be confirmed, so email them here if you can help out.
