{{Social media/Instagram|Happy birthday to Mike Byrne! He was the drummer for The Smashing Pumpkins from 2009 to 2014. Before joining the band, he played drums in the Sky Saxon tribute band Spirits in the Sky for eight shows in July-August 2009.
{{Social media/Instagram|James Iha's debut solo album, Let It Come Down, released February 10, 1998! Co-produced with Jim Scott, it featured Smashing Pumpkins personnel Matt Walker (drums, percussion) and D'arcy Wretzky (harmony vocal on "One and Two"), along with a number of other guests musicians. The album spawned the 4-track single "Be Strong Now" as well as a promotional single for "Jealousy".


When Billy Corgan called for rehearsals to replace Jimmy Chamberlin, Byrne auditioned and was chosen out of thousands of applicants. On August 17, 2009, he was officially named as the new drummer for The Smashing Pumpkins. The Pumpkins were already one of his favorite bands, with Jimmy Chamberlin among his most influential drummers. Byrne's YouTube channel, which he created three years prior to joining the band, had been "MarquisinSpadez", a reference to the song "Marquis in Spades", from the Zero EP. He also was in a band called The Mercury Tree, which is the original name for the Machina song "The Crying Tree of Mercury", though this connection may have been mere coincidence.
On this album, Iha took on a more acoustic country-ish sound reminiscent of the songs he contributed to the Pumpkins, notably shying away from the darker sound of Billy Corgan's songwriting at the time. Iha had said that the quieter tone of the songs reflected the fact that many of them were written in his hotel rooms during The Smashing Pumpkins tours, and he didn't want to disturb other guests by playing too loudly.


Byrne performed drums for most of Teargarden by Kaleidyscope. As a part of the project, he contributed drumming duties on Oceania, the Pumpkins' eighth full-length album. On April 17, 2010, Byrne played his first show under the Smashing Pumpkins moniker in celebration of Record Store Day – a show which saw the live debut of "Soot and Stars".
Let It Come Down peaked at #171 on the Billboard 200, at #76 in the UK and at #53 in Sweden. AllMusic gave the album 4/5 stars, asserting "Iha's handful of songwriting contributions to the Pumpkins suggested that he had talent, and he proves it here", adding that it is "a refreshing little gem that begs for a sequel."


Aside from The Smashing Pumpkins, Byrne cites some of his influences as The Cure, Maserati, Maps and Atlases, and Pelican. In 2011, he won best "Up and Coming" drummer in Modern Drummer's Reader's Poll. His last show (as well as bassist Nicole Fiorentino's) with The Smashing Pumpkins was on August 17, 2013. In June 2014, Billy Corgan reported that Byrne had left the band.
The album was remastered and re-issued in February 2012 with the three tracks previously released as B-sides added as bonus tracks, and in November 2020 saw a vinyl re-issue in Japan.
