Fresh New Face in Christian Rock August 18th 2004 by Anonymous in PA
I heard the song "Protest to Praise" on WOW and was moved to buy this album. I have not regretted the move since. These Canadian rockers bring an impressive mix of accoustic rock ("Free Me Up") and worship-like songs ("Great Are You"), giving voice to everyday fears ("So Blue") and hopes ("Protest to Praise"). The bonus track is quiet, but annoying after the first couple listens. But buy the album for the superior musicianship on the first eleven tracks – it's well worth the $$$.

So Much For Substitutes
No substitute for self-titled debut . . . August 19th 2004 by Anonymous in PA
Downhere seems to suffer from too much effort on their second album, "So Much for Substitutes." It is a good album, don't get me wrong. But whereas their self-titled debut seemed so effortless in its execution, so simple in its complexity, their sophomore effort seems unnecessarily overproduced. The track "Iliad" is a great metaphor and a wonderfully mellow ballad, but somewhat complex in its message. Overall, worth looking into – you may love it. But be sure to give their self-titled debut a look too.

Hidden Gem!! October 3rd 2004 by in St. Paul, MN
This album is incredible. I got it from my church library and listened to it. The first time was inspiring, but the test of good music is whether it gets better each time you hear it. This album definately does. The track "Great Are You" is a powerful testimony to God's vastness shown in creation. "From Protest to Praise" is a hard hitting testimony about trusting God and praising Him in all circumstances. My favorite, "Calmer of the Storm" has incredibly rich lyrical imagery about trusting God in whatever "storm" you're facing. Pick up this cd if you like Switchfoot, Paul Coleman Trio or anyone like them. downhere has a unique sound and deep lyrics. In my opinion they are a highly underrated band.

So Much For Substitutes
A MUST HAVE February 22nd 2005 by Anonymous in TN
If you are tired of the same old chirstian music you need to give downhere a listen. These guys really know how to break out of the "cookie cutter" christain music scene. Instead of writting music like everyone else on the CCM charts downhere is brave enough to think outside the box while being spiritualy challenging as well. This album mixes killer vocals with amazingly creative lyrical genius. Downhere's sophmore album will not dissappoint you. If you liked the first album by downhere you will LOVE "So Much For Substitutes". There really is no substitute!!!!

Downhere is up there! February 27th 2005 by Anonymous in Canada
This CD is awesome. When you first listen to it, compared to their debut album, it almost sounds like a different group, but they have just given it more of a rock sound. I love this CD, and this band just gets better and better all the time. Fans of almost any type of music will enjoy this album...it's definitely worth checking out!

Good first album! February 27th 2005 by Anonymous in Canada
While listening to this CD, you can strongly feel the passion and love for God. Songs like "Calmer of the Storm" make you stop and think, and even shed a tear or two (even for those of us who rarely do that from music!), while others like "Free Me Up" are fun, and easy to listen to. This CD is incredible, because no matter how much you hear it, or what kind of mood you're in, it speaks to you.

How Many Kings: Songs For Christmas
Wow! October 22nd 2009 by Anonymous in
This is an amazing album! It is lighthearted and cheery and lifts my spirits listening to it. I love the combination of fun songs with traditional "serious" Christmas songs. The remake of How Many Kings is incredible, and Gift Carol & Christmas in my Heart are perfect.
I gave the CD to my mother as a gift and she is really enjoying it - so two households in my family have Christmas music playing. My family already loves the holidays and this will add to our enjoyment.
Thank you so much, downhere - you never disappoint!!!
