We've all heard nu-metal... but please take out the whining, thoughtless screaming, and the cliche guitar riffing.

We've all heard hard rock... but suppose we got rid of the age-old boring chord movements, and banned the act of singing about your girlfriend/boyfriend.

We've all heard progressive rock... but imagine if the songs were actually interesting the entire way through, and that they got rid of the annoying vocal and instrumental show-off's.

Well now this sound has arrived. Introducing Mr.Downstairs, who plays a wide open style of heavy rock that disposes of things you'd expect it to contain. Basing song content on intelligent thought, scientific inquisition, and emotional transgression, Mr.Downstairs has achieved a new style of songwriting while still maintaining its rhythmic and melodic sensibilities for the average listener. It is not a new genre of music, but everything about this band has been done the way you've always wanted it to be done.
