BIOGRAPHY:

DownStairs is a rock band from Kingston, Jamaica, who play a self-titled genre called Reggae Metal — which is also the name of one of their EPs.

Says Howard Campbell with the Jamaica Observer: “The dreadlocked Jones is lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the band which is now known as Brian Jones and The Downstairs. Their base is mainly Jamaica's small rock community; they have recorded two albums, and perform sporadically with a revolving cast.

“In recent months, Jones has worked with other musicians including drummer Craig Lee and guitarist Carey Fox, which influenced the band's name change. He admits it is tough making a mark in Jamaica when one's sound is more Metallica and Guns 'N Roses than Jah Cure or Popcaan.
“Rock bands are a rarity in Jamaica, though a number of them sprung up during the 1990s, inspired by the grunge movement out of Seattle. Downstairs was influenced by some of those artistes, as well as Guns 'N Roses, the no-holds-barred band that gave hard rock a shot in the arm as hip hop began dominating music industry sales early that decade.”
The publication quotes Jones saying: ”Music is my thing, first and foremost, but it's not a bed of roses. We have songs that I think can make it in the commercial market, 'cause I have seen our songs on mixes with popular artistes,” he said. “We've had songs played at rave parties and people don't even know it's us.
“We want to tour the world as far and wide as possible. We going for the top,” he said.
