About Me

Toronto's best kept secret uncovered and tearing its way into your speakers. Awesome guitartists, mad drummers and extraordinary vocal stylings make up Downsview's heavy-hitting, unique sound of hard rock with a punk edge.
"Downsview brought more energy than most bands would with a full house. From the first note of their song "Never Is The Right Time," Downsview played a flawless set from their upcoming album." - TJ Liebgott
"Their music can be summed up as an energy high. so put the Red Bull away, you wonâ€™t need it when listening to their music. Each song is more than enough to boost your senses and put a bounce in your step." - NADP
"Every since seeing Downsview rock the Horseshoe Tavern on February 18, their five track EP has been playing my iPod on repeat. They have won me over with a combination of catchy lyrics, solid instrumentation, excellent stage presence and a good old combination of punk riffs and rock attitudes.
This could easily be thanks to the bandâ€™s exotic upbringings: singer Joel Richard hails from Saskatchewan, guitarist Mike Lebon from the Mauritius Island, guitarist Carlos Lopez from El Salvador, bassist Paul Samman from Egypt and drummer Soichiro Koike from Tokyo. Their diverse backgrounds combined with their previous band experiences have generated a solid band with an inarguably unique foundation, one that sets them apart from a lot of bands down this vein of music." - Sheena Lyonnais
