Three Man Down (Thai: ทรีแมนดาวน์) is a Thai pop rock band formed by students from the School of Communication Arts at Bangkok University in 2013. They are signed to Gene Lab, a subsidiary of GMM Music.
2013–2018: Formation and first releases
Three Man Down was formed in 2013 by Krit Jeerapattananuwong, Thaythanan "Thay" Wongpreechachok, Peerapon "Toon" Lamjamrat, and Kittimated "Ohm" Chanpanit—four friends who met at Bangkok University, initially playing rock music.[1] They performed in a number of music competitions before releasing their first single, "คำทำนาย", with a music video produced on a tight budget of just 20,000 THB.[citation needed] They later worked with SRP Label, releasing the songs "Hey Josh! (พรุ่งนี้ต้องลืมเธอ)" and "ของที่เธอไม่ต้องการ". However, the band struggled to establish a musical identity, leading to internal conflicts. Eventually, they collaborated with Soong Mattnimare, who became their producer and helped them refine their sound.[2] They went on to release the tracks "Downtown Pop (อยากฟัง)" and "City (ข้างกัน)".[3] Three Man Down continued releasing music independently until they competed in Band Lab, a talent search program initiated by Puntapol Prasarnrajkit (lead singer of Cocktail) under the newly established Gene Lab label. They won second place and signed a contract with Gene Lab.
2018–2022: This City Won't Be Lonely Anymore
In March 2021, Three Man Down released their debut album, This City Won't Be Lonely Anymore, which included the singles "ผ่านตา", "ตอนไม่ได้เจอ", "ทีมรอเธอ","ไปเถอะเธอ", and "ข้างกัน (City)" (feat. ออม TELEx TELExs).[4] Their major breakthrough came with the song "ฝนตกไหม", which reached number one on Spotify, Apple Music, and JOOX.[5][6] Their next hit, "ฝันถึงแฟนเก่า", also climbed to number one on Spotify and Apple Music.[7] In late 2020, they released "ถ้าเธอรักฉันจริง", which again reached number one on Spotify, Apple Music, and JOOX.[8][9]
2022–2025: 28, III
In July 2023, Three Man Down released their second studio album, 28, which marked a shift in both musical style and lyrical themes, highlighting the band's evolution.[10]
In June 2025, the band issued their third studio album, III.
