Rent is due, your car just got towed, it’s always raining, you lost your job, and your mother
needs urgent hip replacement surgery! Downtown Livin’ was written by frontman Chris in
his Toronto apartment atop his frameless bed mattress. It was inspired by life stacking bad
luck on top of bad luck

Downtown Livin’ was recorded in an espresso and vodka fueled haze at Dreamhouse
Studios in Toronto, Canada with producers Aaron Verdonk and Calvin Hartwick. Aaron and
Calvin influenced the band to perform at a higher level- blowing out their voices and
capturing the raw emotion that the song demanded. Downtown Livin’ was mixed by Dave
Schiffman (Red Hot Chili Peppers, System of A Down) and mastered by Joao Carvalho (Rush,
Tragically Hip)

Music Is Facing a Mental Health Crisis

Money is tight while they work long and weird hours, travel incessantly, are isolated from their friends and family at home, and have ample access to drinks and drugs. They write, record, release, and promote, and then repeat the cycle over and over again. And now, more than ever, the industry demands constant content, lest they are forgotten in the ocean of songs hitting Spotify every Friday. But then they get in the van and, especially in Canada, drive absurd distances between low-paying gigs for a tour they likely had to book themselves.
