downhere Review

I first saw Down Here as an opening act for a Sonic Flood concert. I couldn't believe my ears, hearing this amazing music. They have a good strong sound in their instruments, and great voices to match. The lyrics amaze me; The meanings can be simple topics you'd agree with at one point, but over time, those same songs may end up reaching you on a deeper level according to what's happening in your life. This album is very powerful.
The band consists of Marc Martel (Lead Vocals, Background Vocals, Electric and Acoustic Guitars, Marmonica, Dobro), Jason Germain (Lead Vocals, Background Vocals, Piano, Keyboards, B3, Acoustic Guitars), Jeremy Theissen (Drums & Percussion), and Glenn Lavender (Bass Guitar). My youth group met them all after that Sonic Flood concert, and they are really great, fun guys. This album is an awesome start for them, ranging from upbeat songs ("Larger than Life", "Makimg Me"), to soft beautiful ones ("Great Are You" Though the lyrics inside the cover list it as "Great You Are," I suppose there was just some confusion.) And be sure not to stop your stereo after track 11, because you'll get a nice surprise approximately 3 minutes into the following one.
You can visit their official site at [website] to get more information about the members or their music career in general. These are definitely some good-hearted, talented guys with a great future in store. It's always moving to see people using their gifts for God, and I congratulate them for their great success in doing so.
